Show HN: A simple pricing and resource limit library

https://github.com/dev-formata-io/limitr
5•cj-cummings•1h ago
Hey Hacker News! No one likes to code pricing; it sucks. It shouldn't take up my time, yet it always does - too much of it. And pricing always needs to change, eating up valuable dev hours.

I created a simple pricing engine so that I could write all of my pricing rules & resource limits in a single YAML doc, then enforce them everywhere with a single policy check.

It's simple, intuitive, versionable, auditable, and easy to reason about or change quickly without bogging my development down.

My CTO friends liked the idea and wanted to use it, so I created this open-source library for everyone to try for themselves.

We also have a hosted version that's turnkey for adding Stripe billing & live customer data, so that you can evolve pricing independently from your codebase.

Check it out and let me know what you think! :)

Nice! Definitely have encountered issues with metered pricing through stripe, especially when sales wants to do custom pricing for larger contracts.

How does this handle transitions when a customer changes plans mid-billing cycle e.g.they downgrade from paid to free but their current usage already exceeds the free plan's limits? Is it immediately enforced or is there some sort of reconciliation mechanism?

Awesome project, looking forward to using this in the future, I think it's really going to simplify our billing setup/tracking!
