Our recent launch on Hacker News made the top 5 of the past 12 months, we’ve been Product of the day, and Product of the week of Product Hunt .Check our Shoutout wall here .We built a custom billing system from scratch for Qonto.com , a 5x Fintech unicorn in Europe. That was not the best use of our engineers' time (it's complex to build and to maintain), but we felt 'trapped':We did not want to hack around Stripe Billing, or Chargebee, or any of the equivalents to customize it: our pricing was a mix of subscription-based and usage-based, and the existing tools were built for subscription-based businessesWe did not want to leave precious % of revenue on the table. We resented their rent-seeker approach, and their closed architecture in general, with data being locked in another product. So we went for a home-made billing system, which was far from being perfect.Lago aims at fixing this problem at scale, with an open architecture by design.
