We discovered that no one innovates on pricing because every billing software is inflexible. Excited to share our progress with Lotus entering beta (full MIT license, https://github.com/uselotus/lotus).

New features: * backtest and run analysis comparing multiple plans

* version pricing plans like you version code

* Meter and aggregate usage flexibly with custom SQL

* billing for usage-based pricing, hybrid, bespoke contracts

* generate invoice pdfs or integrate with Stripe, Braintree, Netsuite, Salesforce

* webhooks to send alerts when usage thresholds are high or build robust invoicing integrations

* analyze margin and cost per customer

All feedback is appreciated! If the project is especially relevant to you, reach out on our website.
