Stigg

What makes Stigg different

Stigg operates as a “Monetization Control Layer,” sitting between your application logic and your billing providers (like Stripe or Chargebee). Unlike traditional billing platforms that handle transactional processing, Stigg focuses on the complexity of defining what a customer gets and how much they consume in real-time. This is particularly critical for AI and SaaS products where pricing models are complex, involving token usage, feature flags, and hybrid subscriptions.

The platform provides a unified API to manage pricing catalogs, entitlements, and usage metering. It decouples monetization logic from your core product code, allowing engineering teams to update pricing plans, experiment with packaging, and manage entitlements without redeploying application code. Stigg syncs bi-directionally with existing billing stacks, ensuring that the definition of value in Stigg matches the invoice generated by your payment processor.

Architecturally, Stigg emphasizes low-latency decisioning. It offers a local caching layer for entitlement checks to ensure users experience zero friction when hitting usage limits. For high-volume metering, it utilizes an edge network with over 300 PoPs to ingest events globally with minimal latency, while maintaining a 99.99% uptime SLA for its core API services.

Pricing model

Stigg does not publish specific tiered pricing on its public website; interested customers must contact sales for a quote. However, the model is generally subscription-based, often tied to the number of active customers or transaction volume. This contrasts with hyperscalers that charge strictly for compute/storage resources. Stigg’s value proposition is efficiency: it reduces the engineering hours required to build and maintain internal monetization infrastructure, potentially saving teams hundreds of development days.

When it fits

• AI Startups: Companies needing to price based on tokens, compute time, or complex usage metrics in real-time.
• SaaS Companies with Complex Packaging: Businesses offering hybrid models (seats + usage), tiered feature flags, or frequent pricing experiments.
• Teams Scaling Rapidly: Organizations that need to deploy pricing changes globally without code deployments or risky billing migrations.
• Multi-Product Enterprises: Companies managing both B2B and B2C monetization strategies under a single unified system.

When it doesn’t

Stigg is not a replacement for core infrastructure services like compute, storage, or databases. It is also not ideal for simple, static subscription models where a basic Stripe integration suffices, as the overhead of integrating a dedicated control layer may not be justified.

Inclusion criteria

• Self-Service Signup: Stigg offers a self-service trial/developer account for engineers to test the API and SDKs.
• Public SLA/Status Page: Stigg provides a public status page (status.stigg.io) and publishes a 99.99% uptime SLA for its core API.
• Transparent Pricing: Specific pricing numbers are not publicly listed; access requires sales engagement.
