Diagram: a product event becomes a meter reading, which becomes a pricing calculation, which becomes an invoice.
Hybrid pricing
Real SaaS pricing isn't one-dimensional.
Kontier supports the combination - not just one pricing shape.
Metering
Send events. Kontier handles the meter.
A meter is a reusable aggregation definition: which events count, how they combine, what window applies. Eight aggregation functions, three pricing models - configured once, not rebuilt per product.
Send an event
$ curl -X POST https://api.kontier.eu/v1/usage-events \ -d { "metric_key": "api_calls", "quantity": 1, "idempotency_key": "evt_9a2f" }→ 202 · usage.reported
Aggregation functions
Pricing models
The matched tier's rate applies to every unit.
Graduated - each tier is billed at its own rate.
Rounds up to whole bundles - SMS packs, credit blocks.
Pricing engine
From raw usage to a line on an invoice.
Tiers are configuration, not code. This is the exact tier walk from the example above - the same 18,402 requests, worked twice, landing on the same total.
Beyond the meter
Usage billing shouldn't stop at calculating quantity.
Usage leads to pricing, leads to VAT, leads to E-Rechnung, leads to payment, leads to accounting.
The meter is only the beginning.
Your pricing can be complex. Your billing stack doesn't have to be.
Meter anything. Price it any way you need. Let Kontier turn it into revenue.
