The Old Way (a mess)

Most teams try to bolt this together:

Write custom middleware to log API usage
Store usage data in a separate service
Periodically batch usage into Stripe or a spreadsheet
Sync pricing logic across code, support, and finance
Pray it doesn’t break

This takes weeks to build. And longer to debug when usage explodes.

The Schematic Way

How it Works with Schematic:

Instrument usage at your API layer (e.g., /v1/generate, /v1/upload)
Define how each event maps to pricing (e.g., per token, per second, per image)
Schematic meters usage in real time and updates customer entitlements
Billing events are synced to Stripe or your payment processor
GTM teams get visibility and control — no dev bottlenecks
