Free to self-host, with every feature, on Node.js and Postgres

Your billing system decides what every customer pays. Open source means you can read that decision, run it yourself, and never be stuck.

Free to self-host

No licence fee, no share of revenue, no limit on customers, businesses or billing volume.

Every feature, either way

Cloud and self-hosted run the same engine. Only who keeps it running differs.

Node.js and Postgres, nothing else

Node.js and Postgres. The billing clock is a job queue inside Postgres, with no separate queue service.

Cloud or self-hosted

How self-hosting works

  1. Step 1

    Get the code

    From the public repository, under the AGPL-3.0.

  2. Step 2

    Give it Postgres

    Run the engine on Node.js with your own Postgres database.

  3. Step 3

    Connect your gateways

    Your own gateway accounts, the same 11 as on Cloud.

  4. Step 4

    Keep it current

    You run upgrades, backups and monitoring, or ask us for support.

Money you can trace, cards you never hold

How we keep billing safe

  • An append-only ledger

    Balances come from double-entry records. A correction is a new entry, so every figure traces back to the rows behind it.

  • PCI DSS SAQ-A scope

    Card numbers go from the browser straight to your payment gateway. They never reach our servers or yours.

  • An audit log

    Who changed what, from the dashboard or the API, with the values before and after.

Open-source billing questions

Yes. The billing engine, the dashboard and the docs are licensed under the AGPL-3.0, and the TypeScript API client under MIT.
