Problem 🔴
Too often, customers tell us they use Stripe for billing but when I ask how they manage their credits or track usage, I always hear the same answer: “we built it in-house”. These pricing models are not edge-cases. They’re the new normal in the age of AI.
Solution ⚒️
uselark.ai is a modern billing platform with the flexibility to support any pricing model (credit-based, usage-based, hybrid, dimensional, token-based, etc…) at any scale (10x more than Stripe).
Whether you’re building an AI powered API or a B2B SaaS product, Lark provides everything (including checkout + customer-facing portal) you need to implement complex billing logic without the hassle.
A few nice things about us -
- You don't have to manage any webhooks or store custom billing state (like stripe customer id) in your database
- Our APIs are simple. You don't have to integrate with a separate checkout API. We also provide frontend SDKs to check billing state (like remaining credits, feature access)
- Seamless pricing changes that automatically apply to your customers without involving engineers
- We also help you track margins & LLM costs per customer for AI applications
