2 points · Open discussionShow HN: StripeMeter – pre-invoice parity for Stripe usage billing
I’m a contributor to StripeMeter, a tiny open-source tool to prove Stripe usage invoices are correct before they finalize.
What it does (small surface):
- POST /v1/replay — reconcile late/duplicate events (dry-run or apply)
- GET /v1/reconciliation/summary — see drift and counters before/after
- GET /v1/usage/history — time-series to visualize the effect
Why: real systems have retries, late events, and dupes. StripeMeter sits beside your billing/pricing layer to ensure the numbers are exact pre-invoice.
Not: a pricing/plan/entitlement system or a warehouse.
Scope & limits: aimed at early/mid-stage SaaS on Stripe usage billing; local target ~10k late-event replay in ≤ ~2s (queue/workers recommended at scale).
Contributors & Feedback wanted: docs polish, SDKs (Node/Python), replay worker improvements, minimal visualizer, observability (Prom

/Grafana), integrations. Check Good First Issues and our pinned Design Partners thread if you want to run a quick parity session.

Show HN: StripeMeter – Open-Source Usage Metering for Stripe Billing
We built StripeMeter, an open-source usage metering platform that plugs directly into Stripe. It solves the classic SaaS pain of “why is my bill higher than expected?” by giving both developers and customers real-time usage tracking with live cost projections. Why it matters:
- Transparency: Customers see exactly what Stripe will bill them (within 0.5% parity).
- Exactly-once guarantee: No double billing, ever.
- Fast & scalable: Sub-minute freshness with Redis + Postgres counters.
We’d love feedback from SaaS builders, especially if you’ve struggled with Stripe’s metered billing. Does this solve a real pain for you? What would you need before trusting it in production?
