Usage & Credit Billing | Dodo Payments

Trusted by 50,000+ builders and founders worldwide

the problem

Traditional billing tools
weren't designed for consumption-based pricing.

Seat-based billing was built for 2015 SaaS. If you're charging per API call, per token, or per compute minute, most billing tools force you to build custom metering, invoicing, and dunning from scratch, wasting months of engineering time.

the solution

Dodo Payments meters your usage events in real time, applies flexible rating rules, and generates transparent invoices

Whether you're billing for LLM tokens, image generation credits, API calls, or compute minutes, Dodo handles it natively, with Merchant of Record and global tax compliance included.

Native usage metering. Track tokens, API calls, compute hours in real time.

Credit wallets with rollover, overage controls, and auto top-up.
