Can Open Source end the “rent seeker pricing” of Billing SaaS? (getlago.com)

So true! I’ve met several companies living this exact scenario on billing: trying to balance building vs buying. None being acceptable solutions. The first one dedicates so much of your developers on a project that a actually never ends. Which is obviously not an viable option. The second is so expensive you end-up considering the first… and most of the time you still have to fit a circle in a square.

Open source would definitely solve this!


Off topic or not, checked the main website and Lago looks great (insanely useful)

Thanks for the link here!


It's a good move to do! Giving visibility on what we're building and allow engineers to custom and participate on Lago's logic gives so much flexibility.


Billing is definitely a complex subject in tech and is also very important for any SaaS.
