Meteroid

The CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) module streamlines the quote-to-cash process, empowering sales teams to close custom deals without relying on engineering. Sales representatives can create quotes with flexible pricing, including usage-based tiers, discounts, and promotional codes, all within a unified platform. This breaks free from spreadsheets and eliminates data silos between sales and finance. Once a quote is accepted, it automatically triggers subscription creation and invoicing. Real-time revenue tracking gives finance instant visibility into pending and recognized revenue, replacing month-end reconciliations with continuous insight. The CPQ feature accelerates deal cycles and enhances collaboration across go-to-market teams, enabling them to respond to customer needs with tailored pricing and contract terms.

Meteroid's metering engine captures usage data from product events in real time using a high-performance system built with Rust. It can process millions of usage events per second, enabling accurate usage-based billing at scale. The platform also includes advanced price modeling, letting businesses experiment with pricing strategies to find the optimal balance between growth and revenue. Coupons and trial offers are natively supported, allowing product-led growth teams to run promotions without coding. Additionally, insights and reporting features turn billing and usage data into actionable business intelligence, helping identify revenue drivers and upsell opportunities. Customer management keeps all lifecycle information organized centrally, and the developer-friendly API ensures seamless integration with existing CRM, ERP, and analytics tools.

Meteroid's overall approach is to provide an API-first, open-source monetization stack that integrates with existing infrastructure with zero friction. The platform is designed so that companies can focus on their product instead of building and maintaining a billing system. With a developer-friendly API, billing logic can be embedded directly into the product experience. The open-source nature means the code is inspectable, extensible, and future-proof, avoiding vendor lock-in. Under the hood, Rust ensures speed and reliability for processing usage events. The workflow covers the entire revenue lifecycle: from pricing configuration and subscription management to metering, invoicing, and revenue recognition. This unified system ensures a single source of truth for all revenue data, eliminating discrepancies between sales quotes, finance records, and engineering usage logs.

For engineering teams, Meteroid eliminates the need to build custom billing infrastructure, freeing them to work on core product features. A SaaS company can add usage-based pricing to an existing subscription model within days, not months. Finance teams benefit from real-time revenue tracking, eliminating manual reconciliation and providing up-to-date cash flow visibility. Sales professionals can create custom quotes on the fly, shortening sales cycles and closing more deals. Product managers can run A/B pricing experiments using advanced price modeling to optimize revenue. Overall, customers report faster time-to-market for new monetization models, improved billing accuracy, and stronger alignment between revenue operations and business goals. The ability to track revenue in real time also helps detect churn risks and upsell opportunities early.

Meteroid is designed for modern software companies, particularly SaaS businesses with engineering, finance, and go-to-market teams. It serves product-led organizations that need flexible billing to support hybrid plans, usage-based pricing, and subscription models. The platform is open source and available for self-hosting or via Meteroid's cloud offering. Pricing details are available on the website, with a free tier to get started. Built with Rust and offering a comprehensive API, it fits into any tech stack. The key takeaway: Meteroid turns billing from an operational burden into a strategic revenue driver, giving companies the freedom to monetize on their own terms with full transparency and no vendor lock-in.
