Turn APIs and AI Into Revenue
Meter every API call, LLM token, and custom metric with sub-second accuracy. Automate billing with Moesif and enable developer self-service directly from your developer portal. All fully-integrated, out-of-the-box.
Why it matters
APIs and AI products process billions of requests, yet most platforms force you to choose between custom metering code, bolted-on billing tools, or spreadsheets. WSO2 Monetization, powered by Moesif, gives users monetization capabilities that work directly with your gateway of choice, eliminating complex billing setups and reducing time to market.
Real-time metering of API and AI usage
Track API calls, LLM tokens, custom metrics, and MCP tool invocations with perfect accuracy. Any metric, monetized.
Flexible pricing models built in
Support pay-as-you-go, prepaid credits, tiered pricing, freemium, and subscription+overage without any custom code or changes in your application or API codebase.
Automated invoicing and revenue recognition
Usage data flows directly into Stripe, Zuora, or any other billing provider of your choice. Usage is metered, aggregated, and billing happens automatically with zero manual work.
Enable developer self-service
Embed dashboards into your customer and developer portals so customers can view consumption metrics in a single place and manage usage effectively.
WSO2 API Monetization eliminates the complexity of distributed billing tools and puts revenue operations directly on top of your existing infrastructure.
