Usage & Billing ROI.
MeltyBase is engineered to maximize infrastructure economics. Our billing model is designed for high-performance enterprises that require predictable costs and absolute control over their financial data.
01. Stack Consolidation Math
MeltyBase is a unified Layer 0 utility. One sovereign license replaces the fragmented, high-cost subscriptions of multiple vendors.
Identity & MFA
Replaces Auth0, Okta, and Clerk.
Real-time CDC
Replaces Ably, Pusher, and Supabase Realtime.
Independent Storage
Replaces managed S3 wrappers and CDN transformation fees.
02. Cloud Tax Elimination
Managed platforms profit from your growth by taxing every API call, user, and gigabyte. MeltyBase provides a fixed-cost architectural model where you pay for the license, not for your success.
- No Per-User Seat Tax: Scale your team without increasing your infrastructure bill.
- No Transactional Tax: Your API growth is handled by your hardware, not our billing department.
03. Hardware Value Extraction
Extract the maximum economic value from your bare-metal servers. MeltyBase is compiled for bare-metal performance, ensuring that every CPU cycle and NVMe IOPS you pay for is utilized by your application, not lost to cloud virtualization layers.
AAL2 Billing Security
To ensure total financial sovereignty, MeltyBase requires AAL2 (Authenticator Assurance Level 2) for all billing and license management. This ensures that only authorized owners with hardware security keys can access the financial control plane.
MeltyBase as a Billing BaaS
MeltyBase provides the infrastructure to power the commercial layer of your own applications. Instead of building custom billing logic, developers can utilize the MeltyBase Hub as a high-performance Billing-as-a-Service (BaaS) provider.
Custom Metric Relay
Report arbitrary metrics (e.g. "minutes_active", "gb_transferred") via the /v1/portal/projects/{id}/usage API.
Subscription Proxy
Leverage built-in Stripe Connect infrastructure to manage your customers' checkout sessions and price tiers natively.
Automatic Metering
The background BillingWorker summarizes app usage and handles idempotent reporting to global payment providers.
