A superior usage-based billing
alternative to Stripe Billing
Billing shouldn’t hold back your product and finance teams
Unlike Stripe Billing, you don’t have to build workarounds in Orb to account for most bespoke contract terms and complex use cases. No more reworking product logic to make simple pricing changes. Engineers can focus on shipping and finance teams can close books faster.
Stripe Billing customers grapple with reporting limitations
Without mid-period reporting, teams using Stripe Billing suffer. With Orb, every unit of usage is accounted for, at any point in time, for any pricing model. Orb lets you query raw usage with SQL and real-time alerting notifies you when customers hit usage or cost thresholds.
Stripe Billing wasn’t designed to handle usage tracking challenges
Orb accounts for usage accurately — down to every event. Unlike Stripe, Orb handles non-integer quantities and has workflows for backfills and amendments, saving teams from reconciling data each month.
Orb has the most flexible pricing features on the market
Orb customers love migrating pricing in bulk and scheduling price changes in advance. Stripe Billing can’t model common pricing use cases, like mixed-cadence annual fees with monthly overages.
As companies grow, their pricing becomes more complex - Orb is designed to provide you with all of the control you need for your usage and hybrid-based pricing.
