Metered Billing
in progress

Fantastic product and overall quality! Just bought it but found out that it has only per-seat and per-organization billing support. Many SaaS ideas (like mine) only work on metered billing for example counting the API requests per month etc.
Obviously achromatic cannot predict all the billing units for every business model but some dummy code or documentation can be added to support this use case.

would love to see this! I'm on the fence to buy Achromatic - I want to build an API gateway so metered billing is a must

I guess the way it makes sense to me is, e.g.:
Free plan:
- $0
- gets you feature X
- gives you 10 credits
Starter plan:
- $10/month
- gets you features X, Y
- gives you 100 credits to spend
Business plan:
- $20/month
- gets you features X, Y, Z
- gives you 250 credits to spend
If you run out of credits, you can purchase more on-demand.
If they would pick a yearly plan, of course the amount of credits you start with would be more (e.g. 12x more)
So each of these subscription plans have a certain amount of credit assigned to it, that can be used, and the credits may or may not be topped-up (renewed) on subscription renewal.

I don't know how complicated this would be, but could we also allow the pricing to be a mixture of a periodic and a usage-based subscription? E.g. base price $10/month with then additional credits to purchase for certain usage.
