Company information
The facts on file
- Description
- Metronome is a usage-based billing and metering platform that ingests raw usage events, aggregates them into billable metrics via SQL, applies rate-card and contract logic, and produces invoices plus customer-facing spend dashboards. It supports usage-based, seat-based, subscription and hybrid pricing, but its engineering centre of gravity is consumption metering at very high event volume. Stripe completed its acquisition of Metronome on 14 January 2026, so buyers are now purchasing a Stripe product line.
