Enforce usage quotas before the request — not after Stripe invoices

SDK-level enforceQuota(tenant, meter) with Stripe sync, customer-facing usage UI, and hard-block or degrade policies. Billing ≠ entitlement.

Problem

Stripe invoices. Your API still serves the heavy user.

Meters bill usage; they do not atomically enforce entitlements. Teams reinvent Redis counters, webhook ordering, grace windows — and still eat margin leaks.

Before

Stripe Meters / invoices arrive after the expensive requests already ran
Homegrown Redis quotas + async webhooks drift; support fights reconciliation tickets
~85% of SaaS moving to usage/hybrid still lack OOTB enforce + customer-visible usage bars

After

enforceQuota(tenant, meter) in the request path — block or degrade before work starts
Stripe sync without treating billing webhooks as your only source of truth for access
Customer portal usage UI so tenants see the same numbers you enforce

Solution

What QuotaGate does

An entitlement enforcement layer for usage/hybrid AI SaaS — because invoicing is not access control.

WHO

AI SaaS founders and backend leads moving from seats to usage or hybrid pricing.

PROBLEM

Billing meters do not stop traffic; DIY atomic counters and webhook sync leak margin and create support debt.

SOLUTION

SDK enforceQuota + Stripe sync + customer usage UI with hard-block or degrade policies.

RESULT

Heavy users cannot silently pierce your unit economics between invoice cycles.

Features

Marketing points derived from the product hypothesis — for demand validation, not a formal spec promise.

⚙️

enforceQuota SDK / middleware

Check tenant + meter atomically on the request path before expensive model or compute work.

🔁

Stripe sync without entitlement myths

Keep billing and access aligned — without pretending Meters alone are an entitlement system.

📊

Customer-visible usage bars

Show the same remaining quota you enforce, cutting “why was I blocked?” tickets.

🧱

Hard-block or degrade policies

Choose reject, soft throttle, or feature degrade when a meter is exhausted.

⏱️

Grace / override hooks

Support sales exceptions and grace windows without forking your counter logic.

How it works

A three-step loop matching the waitlist-stage product hypothesis.

1
Drop in enforceQuota(tenant, meter)
Wrap the expensive path — LLM call, export job, API route — with a one-line check.
2
Connect Stripe + plan meters
Sync plan limits; treat invoices as billing, quotas as runtime enforcement.
3
Expose usage UI + policies
Customers see bars; you choose hard-block or degrade when they hit the gate.

If these situations sound familiar, join the waitlist to help us validate.

AI feature with per-token or per-run limits

Stop a single tenant from burning GPU/API budget between invoices.

Hybrid seat + usage plans

Seats unlock product; meters must still gate the expensive endpoints.

Customer success overrides

Grant temporary grace without disabling enforcement for everyone else.

Replacing fragile Redis DIY

Retire weekend-maintained counters and webhook reconcilers.

FAQ

How is this different from Lago, Orb, or Metronome?

Those platforms excel at metering and billing complexity. QuotaGate focuses on the missing runtime gate: enforce before the request, plus customer-visible usage and simple over-limit policies.

Can Stripe Entitlements replace this?

Stripe Entitlements lean toward feature flags/gates. Usage quota enforcement still needs atomic request-path checks, grace/override, and UX for remaining usage.

Will you host our counters?

Early access will clarify hosted vs bring-your-own store. This validation page does not invent an architecture promise.

When is early access?

Email invites in batches. No fabricated ship date.

Is QuotaGate production-ready now?

This is a market-validation LP. The waitlist tests demand for pre-request quota enforcement among AI SaaS teams.
