Weekly forecast emails warn customers before they hit limits, with one-click CTAs to upgrade or top up PAYGo credit. Our statistical forecasting and anomaly detection optimize revenue and reduce unanticipated operating costs from excessive user behavior.

Why usage-based pricing now

Why Your AI Features Are Burning Cash and How Usage-Based Pricing Can Fix It

AI-powered experiences don’t behave like traditional SaaS. One customer might experiment with a few prompts while another runs thousands of calls overnight—and you feel every token in your bill. Without visibility and controls, even successful launches can become financial sinkholes.

From Free Tier to Paid: Nurturing Growth

Offer a free tier to build trust, then convert fans into paying customers with clear limits and upgrade prompts. UsageTap keeps users informed about their consumption, nudges them before they hit caps, and makes upgrading effortless so your early adopters grow with you.

The Hidden Cost of AI

AI workloads swing wildly between customers. A few power users can send API calls and token spend soaring before finance ever sees the warning signs. Metering with UsageTap brings predictability to an otherwise unpredictable cost center.

Why Usage-Based Pricing is the Answer

Align price with value by metering calls, tokens, and specific models per customer. UsageTap lets you set guardrails so no single account can run costs unchecked, turning AI features into profit drivers instead of unpredictable expenses.

Reducing Support Costs with Transparency

Surprise bills create churn and support tickets. Give customers real-time dashboards so they can monitor usage, self-manage allowances, and understand exactly what they’re paying for—before it becomes a problem.

Avoiding Churn by Aligning Cost and Satisfaction

Customers can’t get refunds for disappointing AI output, but they can churn. UsageTap closes the loop with feedback on response quality, helping you adjust allowances or models quickly so customers feel the value and stay longer.
