How do I easily implement Usage Limits?
Enforce Soft and Hard Usage Limits Without Engineering Headaches
Customer Exploration
You want to let users explore your product — but also need to protect infrastructure costs and prevent abuse.
Drive Conversion
Enforcing usage limits drive upgrades and add-on purchaes.
No Custom Coding
Schematic handles all billing logic to keep your engineers focused on building your product
Common Challenges
- Soft limits are hard to track and surface
- Hard caps break user experience if not handled gracefully
- Overages are hard to charge for in Stripe alone
How Schematic Solves It
- Define per-plan usage caps in config
- Apply soft limits with alerting logic
- Enforce hard caps with feature flags
- Route to upgrade flows automatically
