Stigg
The entitlements and credits layer that sits on top of the billing system you already have
Stigg is a monetization platform that separates pricing and packaging from application code: it holds your plans, feature entitlements, usage limits, and credit wallets, answers real-time access checks through an API with sub-10ms latency, meters usage events at high volume, enforces per-user and per-agent spend caps for AI products, and renders paywall and customer portal widgets, all layered on top of an existing billing stack such as Stripe, Chargebee, or Zuora via two-way sync rather than replacing it, with a free Build tier and a published $399 per month Pro plan.
Overview
Stigg exists because of a specific and very common engineering failure. A SaaS company launches with three plans, hard-codes the limits into the product, and then spends the next three years unable to change its pricing without a sprint. Every plan change means a code change, every enterprise exception means an if-statement with a customer ID in it, and eventually nobody can answer the question of what a given customer is actually entitled to without reading source code. Stigg's proposition is that entitlements belong in configuration, not in your codebase, and that the answer to what is this customer allowed to do should come from an API call rather than from a database column somebody added in 2023.
The company was founded in 2021 in Tel Aviv by Itamar Cohen and Ben Hagai, raised a $17.5M Series A led by Red Dot Capital Partners in December 2024 taking total funding to $24M, and cites Miro, Webflow, PagerDuty, and Upwork among its customers. That is a heavier customer profile than the price would suggest, and it tells you where the product's centre of gravity sits: engineering teams at scale who have already felt the pain, rather than founders who have not yet.
The 2025 and 2026 product direction is unmistakably about AI monetization. Stigg's credits and wallets infrastructure is described in financial terms, with double-entry integrity, append-only immutable ledgers, burn-down tracking, expiry rules, and priority consumption, and the AI governance layer enforces per-user, per-team, and per-agent budget caps at call time. If your product spends real money every time a user presses a button, the ability to stop that spending at the call rather than discovering it on an invoice is not a feature, it is a requirement.
Pricing is published and genuinely self-serve at the bottom. Build is free forever with 10,000 managed entities and 5 million usage events a month, and it includes the full credits and entitlements engine plus Stripe and HubSpot integrations. Pro is $399 a month, or $331 billed annually, and adds custom-branded widgets, unlimited products, webhooks, a full audit log, a two-hour severity-one response commitment, and a 99.95 percent uptime commitment. Scale and the bring-your-own-cloud deployment are sales-led and unpriced.
Best for
Engineering-led SaaS and AI companies that already have a billing system and are being slowed down by hard-coded plan logic, particularly teams shipping usage or credit-based products where access has to be granted or refused in real time, and companies that need per-customer entitlement exceptions without a code branch for each one.
Not the right fit for
- Companies that do not yet have paying customers or a settled pricing model; Stigg solves the pain of changing pricing repeatedly, and if you have not felt that pain the layer is pure overhead.
- Anyone looking for a billing system: Stigg does not process payments, does not issue invoices as the system of record, is not a merchant of record, and touches no tax obligation, so it is always an addition to your stack rather than a replacement.
- Non-technical teams; entitlement checks live in your application code, usage reporting requires instrumentation, and there is no version of this product that a finance operator configures alone.
- Simple subscription businesses with three static plans that never change, where a plans table in your own database costs nothing and Stigg's $399 Pro tier buys flexibility you will not use.
- Cost-sensitive small teams who will exceed the free tier's 10,000 managed entities or 5 million monthly events, since the jump from free to $399 is abrupt with nothing in between.
How it works
- 1
You sign up for the free Build tier without a sales call and connect your existing billing system, most commonly Stripe. Stigg syncs two ways, so products, prices, and subscriptions stay aligned between the two systems and you do not migrate anything to adopt it.
- 2
You model your packaging in Stigg: products, plans, add-ons, the features each plan grants, numeric limits on those features, and any per-customer overrides. Enterprise exceptions become configuration entries rather than code branches, which is the single biggest thing the product buys you.
- 3
Your application asks Stigg whether a customer is entitled to something. A single API call, with a client-side SDK and local caching, returns the answer with p99 latency under 10 milliseconds, which is fast enough to sit in the hot path of a request rather than being cached in your own database and going stale.
- 4
For metered features, your product reports usage events. Stigg ingests and aggregates at very high throughput, tracks consumption against limits, burns down credit wallets in the configured priority order, and enforces caps at the moment of the call rather than at the end of the month.
- 5
Stigg renders customer-facing surfaces: paywalls, pricing tables, upgrade prompts, and a customer portal, as embeddable widgets that read from the same configuration. When a customer upgrades, Stigg orchestrates the change in your billing system, which remains the system of record for money, and the entitlement change takes effect immediately.
Feature breakdown
25 features in 5 modulesEntitlements engine
The core: a real-time answer to what this customer may do, delivered fast enough to sit in a request path.- Real-time access checks
- A single API call returns whether a customer is entitled to a feature, with p99 latency under 10 milliseconds, which is the specification that determines whether you can call it inline or have to cache it and accept staleness.
- Boolean, numeric, and metered entitlements
- Features can be on or off, capped at a number such as seats or projects, or metered against consumption, covering essentially every gating pattern a SaaS product uses.
- Per-customer overrides
- Enterprise exceptions and one-off arrangements are configuration entries rather than code branches with a customer ID in them, which is the single largest source of billing-related technical debt this removes.
- Local caching and client SDKs
- SDKs and sidecars evaluate entitlements close to your application, so the latency budget holds even under load.
- Plans, add-ons, and packaging model
- A full packaging model of products, plans, add-ons, and feature bundles configured in Stigg, so a pricing experiment does not require a deployment.
- Trials and grandfathering
- Trial entitlements and legacy plan preservation handled as configuration, which is what makes it possible to change pricing without breaking existing customers.
Credits, wallets, and AI spend control
Financial-grade ledgers for products where every action costs real money.- Credit wallets with double-entry integrity
- Balances maintained on an append-only immutable ledger with double-entry accounting, which is the difference between a credit balance you can defend and one you have to apologise for.
- Burn-down and priority consumption
- Multiple credit grants consume in a configured priority order, so promotional credits burn before purchased ones and expiry is handled deterministically.
- Expiry rules
- Credits expire on defined terms with the ledger reflecting it correctly, rather than through a nightly job that silently gets it wrong.
- Per-user, per-team, and per-agent budget caps
- Spend limits enforced at call time rather than at invoice time, configurable by your own customers, which is the specific capability AI products need and conventional billing systems do not have.
- AI usage governance
- Controls over which users and agents may consume expensive capabilities and how much, so a runaway agent stops rather than generating a bill you cannot pass on.
Metering and usage
High-throughput event ingestion with deployment options most vendors do not offer.- Event ingestion at scale
- Aggregation designed for very high throughput, with Stigg citing capability above one million events per second on its higher deployment tiers.
- Bring your own cloud and bring your own database
- Deployment into your own VPC or against your own database, which is unusual and matters for companies where usage data cannot leave their infrastructure.
- Usage aggregation and limits
- Consumption tracked against entitlement limits continuously, so an over-limit condition is caught at the call rather than at the end of the cycle.
- Throughput tiers
- Published event-per-second ceilings by plan, from 1,000 on the free tier to 10,000 on Pro and far higher on Scale, so capacity planning is possible before you commit.
Customer-facing surfaces
Paywalls and portals rendered from the same configuration your backend enforces.- Embeddable pricing tables and paywalls
- Widgets that render your current packaging directly, so the pricing page and the enforcement logic cannot drift apart.
- Customer portal widget
- Self-service plan changes, usage visibility, and subscription management embedded in your own product rather than redirecting to a billing vendor's page.
- Custom-branded widgets
- Full visual customisation of the customer-facing components, available on Pro rather than the free tier.
- Upgrade and upsell prompts
- Contextual prompts triggered by hitting a limit, which is where entitlement infrastructure turns into revenue rather than just correctness.
Integration, operations, and governance
Designed to sit beside your billing system, not to replace it.- Two-way billing sync
- Bi-directional synchronisation with Stripe, Zuora, Chargebee, and others, so adopting Stigg requires no billing migration and removing it leaves your billing system intact.
- Contract management and invoicing for termed deals
- Automated provisioning and invoicing for negotiated term contracts, bridging the gap between self-serve packaging and enterprise agreements.
- SDKs across major stacks
- Client and server SDKs plus sidecars covering the languages a typical engineering team actually uses.
- Webhooks and full audit log
- Event notifications and a complete record of packaging and entitlement changes, available from the Pro tier.
- RBAC and SAML SSO
- Role-based access control and enterprise single sign-on, reserved for the Scale tier.
- Published uptime commitments
- 99.95 percent on Pro and 99.99 percent on Scale, with a two-hour severity-one response on Pro and one hour on Scale.
Use cases
4 documentedSeries A SaaS repricing for the third time
Plan limits are hard-coded across four services, every enterprise deal has added an exception, and the last pricing change took a full sprint plus two weeks of bug fixes.
Packaging moves into Stigg configuration, entitlement checks replace the hard-coded limits, and subsequent pricing changes ship without a deployment, with per-customer exceptions becoming config entries rather than code.
AI product with real inference costs
Every user action costs money in model calls, a handful of accounts are consuming disproportionately, and there is no way to stop a runaway agent before the bill arrives.
Credit wallets track consumption on an immutable ledger and per-user, per-team, and per-agent caps enforce spend limits at call time, so overconsumption is refused rather than invoiced.
Product team running packaging experiments
Wants to test whether moving a feature from Pro to Starter increases conversion, but any such test currently requires engineering time and a release.
The feature is reassigned in Stigg and takes effect immediately across the paywall widget and the enforcement layer, so the experiment costs a configuration change rather than a sprint.
Engineering team on Chargebee that will not migrate
Billing, invoicing, and revenue recognition are settled on Chargebee, but the application's entitlement logic is unmaintainable and nobody wants to touch the billing system.
Stigg layers on top with two-way sync, so Chargebee remains the system of record for money while entitlements move into configuration, with no billing migration at all.
Pricing
from $0 (Build), then $399 per month (Pro), or $331 per month billed annuallyFreemium platform subscription with limits on managed entities, monthly usage events, and event throughput, plus graduated overage pricing above the included volumes. Payment processing and billing fees are separate and belong to your underlying billing system.
| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Build | $0 free forever |
Unusually generous for a free tier: the actual engine is not crippled, only the volume is bounded. |
| Pro | $399 per month ($331 billed annually, a 17 percent discount) |
The gap between free and $399 is abrupt, with nothing in between, which is the most common complaint about Stigg's pricing. |
| Scale | Custom annual contracts only |
Sales-assisted, so this is where the self-serve promise ends. |
| BYOC | Custom fixed licence fee |
|
Billing notes
- The two metered dimensions are managed entities and usage events, and both matter. A product with many customers but light usage and a product with few customers but heavy usage hit different limits.
- The step from free to $399 is abrupt with no intermediate tier, so a small team crossing 10,000 entities or 5 million events faces a large percentage increase in tooling spend overnight.
- Annual billing on Pro saves roughly 17 percent, taking the effective cost to $331 a month.
- SSO and role-based access control are gated to the Scale tier, which is high for security controls that many buyers consider baseline.
- Stigg charges nothing on your revenue. It is a platform fee, so your effective take rate is entirely determined by whatever billing system and processor sit underneath it.
Value assessment: Stigg does not take a percentage, so the arithmetic works differently from the rest of this category. At a $50 average ticket and $10,000 a month you have roughly 200 subscribers, comfortably inside the free Build tier's 10,000 managed entities, so the honest cost is $0 for Stigg plus roughly $350 in Stripe processing, giving an all-in rate of 3.5 percent. That makes Stigg free at the scale most small businesses operate at, which is a genuinely strong offer. If you need Pro's branded widgets and audit log at that volume, $399 plus $350 is $749, an effective 7.49 percent, which is worse than Paddle. At $100,000 a month across 2,000 subscribers, Pro at $399 plus roughly $3,500 in processing is $3,899, an effective 3.90 percent, cheaper than Stripe Billing's 4.2 percent and far cheaper than Paddle's 6 percent. The pattern is clear: Stigg is free when small, expensive in the awkward middle, and cheap at scale. Judge it on whether removing pricing changes from your engineering backlog is worth the platform fee, because the fee itself will never be the deciding number.
Strengths & limitations
Strengths
- The free Build tier is genuinely usable rather than a demo: the full credits and entitlements engine, Stripe integration, and 5 million monthly events at no cost.
- Sub-10ms p99 entitlement checks are fast enough to sit in a request path, which is the specification that determines whether the product is actually useful or merely tidy.
- Layers on top of an existing billing system with two-way sync, so adoption requires no billing migration and removal leaves your billing intact, which is an unusually low-risk shape for infrastructure.
- Credits and wallets are built with double-entry integrity and immutable ledgers rather than as a counter, which is the right engineering for a balance customers will dispute.
- AI spend governance with per-user, per-team, and per-agent caps enforced at call time addresses a genuine gap that conventional billing systems do not cover at all.
- Deployment flexibility including bring your own cloud and bring your own database is rare in this category and unlocks buyers whose usage data cannot leave their infrastructure.
- Customer list including Miro, Webflow, PagerDuty, and Upwork is well above what the price point suggests, which is meaningful validation of the engineering.
Limitations
- Not a billing system. No payments, no invoicing as system of record, no merchant of record, and no tax capability of any kind, so it is always an addition to your costs rather than a replacement.
- The jump from free to $399 a month with nothing in between is the most awkward part of the pricing, and it lands hardest on exactly the small teams the free tier attracted.
- SSO and role-based access control are reserved for the sales-led Scale tier, which is a high gate for controls many buyers treat as baseline security.
- Adds a runtime dependency in your request path. A well-designed local cache mitigates it, but you are now relying on a third party to answer whether a user may act.
- Requires real engineering commitment: entitlement checks in application code, usage instrumentation, and a considered migration away from your existing hard-coded logic.
- The value only materialises if you actually change your pricing. A company with three static plans will pay for flexibility it never exercises.
- Still a relatively young company at $24M in total funding, competing against both a well-funded startup field and the entitlement features Stripe is steadily adding natively.
Head-to-head comparisons
5 alternativesStigg vs Schematic
from $0 (Free), then $200 per month (Growth)The closest direct competitor and the more approachable one. Schematic is free up to 10 monetized subscriptions and $200 a month on Growth up to 100, with drop-in React components for pricing tables, checkout, and the customer portal, plus feature flags built for entitlements. Stigg's free tier is far more generous at 10,000 managed entities and its credits, wallets, and AI spend governance are deeper. Take Schematic for an early product-led SaaS wanting components and speed. Take Stigg when credits, AI spend caps, or event volume are the real problem.
Full Stigg vs Schematic comparisonStigg vs Metronome
from 0.8 percent of billing volume plus $0.04 per 1,000 ingested eventsAdjacent, frequently complementary, and often confused. Metronome meters events, rates them against contracts, and produces the invoice. Stigg decides in real time whether a customer may perform an action and tracks credit balances at the point of use. A serious usage-priced AI product often runs both: Stigg enforcing at the call, Metronome rating and invoicing the result. If you only need one, ask whether your problem is producing a correct invoice or refusing an action, because they are different problems.
Full Stigg vs Metronome comparisonStigg vs Chargebee
from $0 per month plus 0.80% of monthly billing value on Flow pay-as-you-goNot substitutes, and Stigg is explicit about this. Chargebee is the billing system of record with invoicing, revenue recognition, dunning, and enterprise contract handling, from around 0.8 percent of billing value or a $400 monthly minimum. Stigg syncs with it two ways and takes over packaging and entitlements. If your complaint about Chargebee is that its entitlement handling forces logic back into your codebase, adding Stigg is far less disruptive than migrating billing systems.
Full Stigg vs Chargebee comparisonStigg vs Recurly
from $249 per month plus 0.9% of billing volume, with the first $40,000 of monthly billings includedSame relationship as Chargebee. Recurly runs the subscription lifecycle and the revenue-recovery engine; Stigg runs packaging and real-time access control on top. The decision is not between them, it is whether the entitlement logic scattered through your application is costing you enough engineering time to justify a second vendor. If pricing changes routinely take a sprint, it is.
Full Stigg vs Recurly comparisonStigg vs Outseta
from $37 per month billed annually, or $47 monthly, plus a 2% transaction feeOpposite ends of the market. Outseta bundles billing, authentication, CRM, email, and a help desk for early SaaS founders at a flat fee, replacing four tools with one. Stigg is a single deep layer for engineering teams who already have those tools and have outgrown their own plan logic. A pre-revenue founder should look at Outseta. A team with an unmaintainable entitlements file and a real customer base should look at Stigg.
Full Stigg vs Outseta comparisonImplementation & onboarding
- Setup time
- Days for a first entitlement check, weeks for a full migration. Connecting Stripe and modelling your packaging is fast. Replacing every hard-coded limit across an existing codebase is the real project and should be sequenced feature by feature rather than attempted at once.
- Learning curve
- Moderate for engineers and irrelevant for anyone else, because this is not a product a non-technical person operates. The conceptual work is deciding what your features actually are and where their boundaries lie, which most teams discover they have never articulated precisely.
- Onboarding
- Self-serve on the free Build tier and on Pro, with community support on Build and standard support with a two-hour severity-one commitment on Pro. Scale and BYOC are sales-led and include a go-live package.
- Migration notes
- Adoption is unusually low-risk because Stigg sits alongside your billing system rather than replacing it, with two-way sync keeping products, prices, and subscriptions aligned. No customer re-enters a card, no subscription is re-created, and no payment data moves, because Stigg never holds any. Removal is correspondingly clean on the billing side: your billing system is untouched. What does not come back easily is the packaging model itself, since your application will have been rewritten to ask Stigg for entitlement answers, so plan on rebuilding that logic if you leave.

- Security notes
- Stigg never handles payment credentials or moves money, since the billing system underneath remains the system of record, which keeps it outside PCI scope entirely. Published uptime commitments are 99.95 percent on Pro and 99.99 percent on Scale, which matter because an entitlement service in a request path is a live dependency. Credit ledgers use append-only immutable records with double-entry integrity, which is the correct posture for balances customers will dispute.

Frequently asked questions
10 questionsWhat is Stigg and what problem does it solve?
Stigg holds your plans, feature entitlements, usage limits, and credit balances outside your application code, and answers in real time whether a given customer may perform a given action. It solves the very common problem where plan limits are hard-coded across a codebase, every enterprise exception is an if-statement with a customer ID in it, and changing pricing takes an engineering sprint. With Stigg, packaging is configuration and pricing changes ship without a deployment.
Is Stigg a billing system or a merchant of record?
Neither. Stigg does not process payments, does not act as the system of record for invoices, and has no tax capability whatsoever. It sits on top of a billing system such as Stripe, Chargebee, or Zuora via two-way sync. That means adopting it never involves a billing migration, and it also means it is always an addition to your stack and your costs rather than a replacement for anything.
How much does Stigg cost?
Build is free forever with 10,000 managed entities per month, 5 million usage events, 1,000 events per second, and the full credits and entitlements engine including the Stripe integration. Pro is $399 a month, or $331 billed annually, adding custom-branded widgets, unlimited products, webhooks, a full audit log, and a two-hour severity-one response with a 99.95 percent uptime commitment. Scale and the bring-your-own-cloud deployment are sales-led and unpriced.
What does Stigg cost as a percentage of revenue?
Nothing directly, because it charges a platform fee rather than a percentage. At a $50 average ticket and $10,000 a month you have around 200 subscribers, well inside the free tier, so Stigg costs $0 and your all-in rate is just Stripe's roughly 3.5 percent. At $100,000 a month with around 2,000 subscribers, Pro at $399 plus roughly $3,500 of processing gives an effective 3.90 percent, below Stripe Billing's 4.2 percent. The awkward case is a small team that needs Pro features at low volume, where $399 plus $350 is an effective 7.49 percent.
How fast are Stigg's entitlement checks?
Stigg publishes a p99 latency under 10 milliseconds for a real-time access check, delivered through SDKs and sidecars with local caching so the figure holds under load. That number is the specification that matters: it is fast enough to call inline in a request path rather than caching in your own database and living with stale entitlements, which is what most in-house implementations end up doing.
What are Stigg's credits and wallets for?
For products where an action costs real money, most obviously AI products consuming inference. Stigg maintains credit balances on an append-only immutable ledger with double-entry integrity, burns multiple grants down in a configured priority order, applies expiry rules deterministically, and enforces per-user, per-team, and per-agent budget caps at the moment of the call. That last point is the distinction: a conventional billing system tells you what was spent, Stigg refuses the spend.
Do I have to migrate my billing to use Stigg?
No, and that is deliberately the point. Stigg synchronises two ways with Stripe, Chargebee, Zuora, and others, so your existing billing system remains the system of record for money while packaging and entitlements move into Stigg. No customer re-enters a card, no subscription is re-created, and no payment data moves, because Stigg never holds any. That makes adoption unusually low-risk compared with replacing a billing platform.
How does Stigg compare with building entitlements in-house?
Most teams have already built entitlements in-house, badly, which is why Stigg has customers like Miro, Webflow, PagerDuty, and Upwork. In-house implementations typically end up with plan limits scattered across services, per-customer exceptions as code branches, and a cache that goes stale. The honest counterargument is that a company with three static plans that genuinely never change can maintain its own table forever and should. Stigg earns its keep only if you actually change your pricing.
What are the main limitations to weigh?
Three things. The step from a free tier to $399 a month with nothing in between lands hardest on small teams that just outgrew the free limits. SSO and role-based access control are gated to the sales-led Scale tier, which is high for baseline security controls. And you are adding a runtime dependency in your request path, mitigated by local caching and published uptime commitments of 99.95 percent on Pro, but real nonetheless.
Who should not buy Stigg?
Anyone without a settled product and paying customers, since the pain Stigg removes is the pain of changing pricing repeatedly and you have not felt it yet. Non-technical teams, because entitlement checks live in application code and there is no version of this a finance operator configures alone. And simple subscription businesses with three static plans, where a plans table in your own database costs nothing and Stigg is paying for flexibility you will never exercise.
Editorial verdict
Stigg is infrastructure for a problem most SaaS companies do not know they have until the third time they reprice. Moving entitlements out of application code and into a configuration layer that answers access checks in under 10 milliseconds is the correct architecture, and the credits and wallets work, with immutable double-entry ledgers and per-agent spend caps enforced at call time, is genuinely ahead of what conventional billing systems offer AI products. The free Build tier is unusually honest, covering 10,000 managed entities and 5 million monthly events with the full engine, which means a small business can run this at zero cost. The catch is the middle: $399 with nothing between it and free is a jarring step, and SSO sitting behind a sales call is a poor look. Remember what it is not. Stigg does not bill, does not process, is not a merchant of record, and does nothing about tax, so it is always a line item on top of your real billing stack. Buy it when pricing changes are costing you sprints, when credits or AI spend control are unsolved, or when your enterprise exceptions have become code. Otherwise keep the table in your database.
