AI has made product usage unpredictable, but enterprise customers fear surprise bills. Schematic is a billing engine that lets companies set usage limits, track spending in real time, and give customers control over their costs through visible ledgers, credit caps, and feature limits.

AI has fundamentally changed how we price and bill because it's fundamentally changed how our products get used. Your customers use your agent, they use your MCP, their agents use your products too at a pace that no human team could have ever matched. And honestly, this is beautiful. Like, this is the promise of AI. Usage can literally expand exponentially, allowing your product to deliver more value to your customers than ever before. But here's the catch. While usage can expand exponentially, budgets can't. Your customers feel this. They need what you're building, but they're afraid. They're afraid of unpredictable usage-based billing. And if you're selling upmarket, closing enterprises on usage-based pricing only gets harder. Enterprise deals bring a chasm of complexity. Custom pricing, ramp periods, credit overages, usage caps, and so much more. Billing either builds trust or breaks it. You need a billing engine that your biggest customers trust and that your team trusts. And that is why we built Schematic, the first billing engine with runtime enforcement, usage governance, and enterprise transparency built in. Every other system meters after the fact, then invoices. Schematic helps you and your biggest customers govern usage as it happens so your customers can control their spend and eliminate surprises. Allowing you to close and expand enterprise deals and ship pricing as fast as you're shipping product without turning your best developers into billing engineers. Let me tell you how it works. Build any plan in minutes, custom or standard, no-code. Set up features, limits, and access. Meter and price every event in real time on a ledger you can see and control. Support credit top-ups, bundles, and overages. Simulate your plans against real usage before you ship and see what each customer would use, pay, and cost. Iterate safely on your pricing with version tracking, migrations, and legacy management. Manage and track the whole customer lifecycle. Grant overrides and promotional credits. Track usage broken down by feature and user. Renew and amend customer plans in seconds. Then, and maybe most importantly, give your customers a billing experience they can trust. Real-time usage against their commit, usage caps, top-up policy, and checkout, all synced to Stripe, controllable by org, by user, by workspace, by role, and by agent. And you, you price on value, protect your margin, and avoid the disputes that lose deals and erode trust. Look, if your pricing never changes, you don't need us. But if you're moving to credits or selling usage-based deals to enterprises, Schematic was built for you. Usage-based billing your customers can trust, that your reps, your CFO, and your CTO can trust too.
