Pixel Data
vs Flexprice
You are building an AI product where prepaid credits and wallet balances are the pricing model, and you want that logic in your own hands. Flexprice is designed for exactly that shape.
What Flexprice is genuinely good at
- Built with AI products in mind: credits, wallets and prepaid balances as first-class concepts rather than bolt-ons.
- Open source, so the pricing logic is readable and forkable.
- Fast-moving and pragmatic, with a clear point of view about how AI usage should be billed.
Choose them if
You are building an AI product where prepaid credits and wallet balances are the pricing model, and you want that logic in your own hands. Flexprice is designed for exactly that shape.
- How usage gets in
- Push only — events sent from your application.
- How it is sold
- Open source and self-hostable at no licence cost, with a commercial cloud edition. Self-hosting costs infrastructure and attention rather than a licence.
With Flexprice, you
- Your engineers instrument token counts and job runs; there is no agent and no warehouse sync.
- You run it yourself, or buy the hosted edition.
- You add analytics separately if you want to explore usage beyond billing.
- Nothing checks what your suppliers charge you. Every product in this category meters what you sell; none audits what you are billed.
With Pixel Data, you
- You get token metering alongside voice, data and API usage in one place, on one bill.
- You get three ingest motions, including one that needs no code.
- You get hosting, upgrades and residency handled, at a published price.
- You get supplier reconciliation — which for an AI business means auditing what your model providers charge you.
What it means for you
You bill your AI usage correctly and check your provider invoices, without running a billing service yourself.

However you get here, you get these three
The same on every comparison, because they are the same three things none of these tools does.
Be live before the kettle boils
You run one line on the machine that already has your usage on it. No schema workshop, no engineering sprint, no project plan.
Defend any figure on any invoice
You click any amount through to its events, and any event through to the arithmetic — increment, minimum, matched prefix, plan version.
Get back what your carrier over-charged
You upload a carrier invoice and get a line-by-line verdict against what your own events say actually happened.
When Flexprice is the right choice
If credits and wallets are your pricing model and you want to own the code, Flexprice is a good fit. We do not model prepaid credit balances as richly as they do.
Moving from one of these
Coming at launchThe Switch Kit is our migration path: import your existing price plans, run both systems in parallel for a month against the same traffic, and get a daily match report showing where the two disagree — before you move anyone's invoicing. Nothing is switched until the numbers agree.
