Simple pricing for software licensing and metered entitlements.
LicenseKit is priced as a software licensing platform first. Metered items such as surveys, reports, jobs, credits, or API actions are included as a usage dimension, not sold as a separate product line.

- LicenseKit is not priced as one product for software and another for metered items.
- The platform fee covers software licensing and the full API surface.
- Metered usage is an overage dimension layered on top when customers exceed their included event volume.
- This model works for surveys, usage-based reports, AI actions, generated artifacts, and other credit-like operations.
- For larger customers, metered blocks can be priced custom under `Scale`.
Is public beta self-serve?
Not fully. The hosted API and SDKs are public, but onboarding is still manual during beta so early customers get direct migration and integration help.
Do metered items require a separate plan?
No. Metered entitlements are part of the same platform. Founding Beta includes a baseline monthly volume and then adds overage blocks when needed.
Is LicenseKit a billing platform?
No. Orders and subscriptions are external record objects for licensing linkage and operational workflows. LicenseKit does not try to be your merchant of record or billing engine.
Public beta opens April 5, 2026. Use the docs and package pages now, then onboard on the hosted API when you are ready to wire real licensing flows.
