AI Agent Billing Metering SDK

3.70

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Widespread enterprise adoption of AI agents
→
Step 2 Need for usage-based Billing for agents
→
Step 3 Per-agent token/API/action usage metering SDK

Problem

Startups building AI agent-based SaaS need to implement usage-based Billing (agent executions, token consumption, external API calls), requiring 1-2 months to build a custom metering system. Billing accuracy issues cause 2-3 customer disputes per month.

Solution

A lightweight metering SDK delivered as an npm/pip package that automatically captures token, API, and action usage per agent execution. Provides per-customer and per-agent usage dashboards with Stripe/Toss Payments integration for automated Billing, plus usage threshold alerts to prevent budget overruns.
