Friction meter
Best forAI and API-first companies that must meter and bill LLM tokens (input, output, cached) per customer.; SaaS teams moving to usage-based, hybrid or prepaid-credit pricing without rebuilding billing from scratch.; Engineering-led organisations that want to self-host billing under AGPLv3 or deploy inside their own VPC.; Finance teams that want quotes, order forms, invoicing, dunning and revenue recognition in one system.; Global businesses invoicing the same customer in multiple currencies and from multiple billing entities.SMB and mid-market marketing teams that want email, SMS and WhatsApp automation in one platform; Teams upgrading from a basic email tool to automation plus a light CRM and sales engagement; Businesses that want AI-assisted campaign building, segmentation and predictive sending; Companies needing 1,000+ integrations, including Salesforce, Slack, Gmail and Outlook; Organizations that prefer self-serve setup with no implementation fee and included migration help
Not forCompanies that want one vendor to move money end to end; Lago connects to Stripe, Adyen or GoCardless instead of processing payments.; Businesses with simple flat-rate subscriptions and no metering, entitlement or credit needs.; Teams without engineering capacity to integrate a REST API, SDKs and webhooks.; Buyers who need published, self-serve list pricing; Lago Premium is quote-only.Enterprises that require FedRAMP or government-grade authorizations; Buyers who want heavy, hands-on implementation services from the vendor; Very large contact lists on tight budgets, since pricing scales with contact tiers per plan; Teams needing a full-depth sales CRM rather than email-first automation with CRM add-ons
