New capabilities introduced for pricing, invoicing, and data transparency - helping companies adapt to how AI-era software delivers and captures value

Metronome, the leading monetization infrastructure platform built to power usage-based and hybrid business models, today announced major new products within the platform that will redefine how modern software companies connect how they deliver value to how they earn revenue.

The stakes have never been higher. As AI and automation reshape software delivery, companies face an existential challenge: traditional billing systems can’t keep pace with products that evolve continuously. Static pricing models break when value becomes dynamic. Monthly billing cycles feel obsolete when usage fluctuates by the second. The gap between how you deliver value and how you capture it is costing you revenue.

Metronome bridges that gap with the only infrastructure purpose-built for the AI economy—connecting usage, pricing, and billing in real time so you can monetize value the moment it’s delivered. Proven at AI scale, Metronome processes billions of usage events monthly for leading companies including OpenAI, Anthropic, Anyscale, and NVIDIA, delivering accuracy and real-time visibility at global scale.

“AI has fundamentally changed how software delivers value. It’s now dynamic, continuous, and evolving faster. We’re entering a period where pricing will be as adaptive as the products themselves,” shared Sam Lee, VP of Pricing Strategy & Product Operations at Hubspot. “Metronome uniquely gives companies the flexibility to evolve and experiment with new models that reflect real customer usage and value. This isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about building a pricing model that matches the way our customers need to grow. Agility with monetization is what will separate leaders from the laggards in this new era of AI.”

This launch introduces new capabilities across pricing, invoicing, and data transparency, giving companies the agility to adapt pricing, automate billing, and enhance customer visibility.

Pricing Model Support

Modern software demands monetization infrastructure that evolves as quickly as the products it powers. Metronome’s new capabilities make it simple for teams to launch, adapt, and manage pricing across every go-to-market motion without engineering support. By empowering companies to adjust pricing and test new models directly, Metronome reduces overhead, accelerates iteration, and helps companies stay ahead of market change.

Seat-based credits are becoming a leading model for AI monetization, combining seat-based access with usage or credit consumption so companies can align pricing directly to value delivered. Account hierarchy enables enterprise-grade billing operations, supporting multi-entity and nested structures. Packages empower PLG teams with flexible, reusable plan templates that make it simple to both experiment with and scale self-serve pricing. Together, these capabilities give companies the flexibility to evolve pricing as fast as their products—and unify how they monetize.

“AI is reshaping how software delivers and captures value, and companies need monetization infrastructure that can evolve just as quickly,” shared Scott Woody, Co-Founder and CEO of Metronome. “We’re seeing companies launch new features faster than ever, and they need systems that can help them monetize new products and features faster. This launch is about giving every company—from AI-native startups to global enterprises—the foundation to adapt pricing quickly, automate billing, and deliver transparency to customers at scale.”

Invoicing

As companies expand across product-led, sales-led, and marketplace channels, they need a monetization system that can orchestrate pricing and billing across every motion. Each go-to-market motion places unique demands on the billing infrastructure—PLG requires automation and immediacy, SLG requires precision and ERP alignment, and cloud marketplaces require native integrations for real-time metering and rating.

Metronome’s enhanced invoicing engine and native cloud marketplace integrations make it easy to manage all of these motions from a single platform. It powers payments for PLG, generates contract-based invoices with native ERP sync for SLG, and supports seamless marketplace integrations with GCP, AWS, and Azure. By streamlining billing operations and centralizing all motions in one platform, companies gain a single source of truth for pricing and invoicing—improving visibility, accuracy, and scalability.

“Metronome unifies billing across our self-serve, enterprise, and marketplace motions, empowering our team with a single source of truth and our customers with real-time visibility into usage,” shared Jooree Na, CFO of Anyscale. “This enabled us to launch Anyscale on AWS, GCP, and Azure marketplaces in weeks instead of months, freeing our team to focus on advancing Anyscale's mission: helping companies unleash the full potential of AI.”

Data & Customer Transparency

In a usage-based world, billing has become a core part of the customer experience. Customers expect the same clarity and responsiveness from their billing experience as they do from the product itself.

As billing becomes part of the customer experience, companies need to provide real-time visibility into how usage translates to spend. Metronome’s new Cost Preview API, in-product invoicing, and lifecycle notifications bring that transparency directly into the product experience.

Customers can see live cost estimates before taking an action, pay invoices directly in-product, and receive proactive notifications on contract milestones. By giving customers a clear view of usage and spend, Metronome helps companies build trust, improve predictability, and strengthen retention.
