Friction meter
Best forAI and cloud infrastructure companies monetizing tokens, credits or per-action usage; Finance teams that need usage billing tied to revenue recognition and ERP sync; Engineering teams replacing brittle in-house metering with a scalable billing engine; Product and pricing teams that iterate on packaging and run frequent price migrationsSMB 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 forStartups wanting a free or transparent self-serve tier; every Orb plan is sales-quoted; Pure seat-based SaaS with no consumption dimension and no pricing experimentation; Teams looking for an all-in-one CRM, ERP or subscription storefront; Buyers who need published list prices and a self-service sign-up flowEnterprises 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
