Startup land rewards motion.
Announcements, launches, funding headlines, feature drops - it all looks like acceleration.
But visible activity isn t the same as real progress.
Shipping fast doesn t mean you re building the right thing.
Raising capital doesn t mean you found product-market fit.
Talking about scale doesn t mean you solved anything painful.
A lot of ecosystems reward velocity because it s easy to measure.
Markets reward outcomes because they re impossible to fake.

Hey Product Hunt ๐
I'm Manish, founder of @Flexprice . After spending over couple of years building billing systems, Iโve felt this pain deeply: building products is getting easier, but charging for them is still hard.
Modern AI and API-first products need usage-based pricing, credit systems, free tiers, and feature access but implementing all of that feels like starting a second startup just to manage billing ๐ .
We tried everything like Stripe Billing, Chargebee, and a few newer tools but none truly solved our needs beyond basic subscriptions. Eventually, we built our own billing system from scratch. It took us over 6 months and still felt like a never-ending cycle of bugs and edge cases.
Every developer or founder Iโve spoken to who deals with anything usage-based had a similar story
@Flexprice is an open-source billing and metering infrastructure built specifically for todayโs AI and API-first products. You send your appโs usage events (API calls, GPU time, etc.) and @Flexprice takes care of๐งโ๐ป
