Billing built for the AI-native world.

AI-first products break every billing system designed for monthly subscriptions — tokens are bursty, agents run autonomously, and a single power-user can swing your margin by a full percentage point in a day. We build ConsumIQ, the metering and billing platform engineered for how modern software is actually consumed.

Why we exist

Subscription billing wasn't built for this.

Four problems we hear from every AI-native team in their first meeting with us. ConsumIQ is the answer to all four.

01

Pricing changed. Billing didn't.

Your product charges by tokens, calls, agent-runs, or compute-seconds — but you're still stitching together a metering vendor, an entitlements layer, and an invoicing system. Three sources of truth. Four reconciliation tickets per close.

02

Margins move by the minute.

A single account can flip from 60% margin to negative in an afternoon when a customer's usage pattern changes. If you can't see per-customer cost-to-serve in real time, you're flying blind on the metric that decides whether you're a business.

03

The buyer wants the other side.

Your customers' finance teams need cross-vendor spend visibility. The vendor that gives it to them — without forcing a procurement project — becomes the one they can't switch off.

04

One platform, one schema.

Event capture, rating, entitlements, invoicing, and the intelligence on top — all in a single source of truth. Built so the integration that takes six months elsewhere takes six weeks here.

Ready when you are

Stop reconciling. Start measuring.

If you're shipping an AI-native or consumption-priced product, we want to hear what's breaking in your billing stack. Most teams we work with are live on ConsumIQ in under six weeks.
