OpenMeter

OpenMeter is open-source usage metering and billing for AI and API products. It ingests usage events as CloudEvents, aggregates them through meters, answers usage queries, and turns that usage into entitlements, balances, grants, usage-driven notifications, and Stripe-backed billing. Available as an open-source project and as OpenMeter Cloud with a Bearer-token REST API at https://openmeter.cloud/api/v1.

OpenMeter publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Billing API, Customers API, Entitlements API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Usage Metering, Billing, Entitlements, CloudEvents, and Open-Source.

OpenMeter’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 9 more developer resources.
