Lark Launches: Stripe Without the Workarounds
"Billing Platform for Modern Pricing"
TL;DR: Define complex pricing models, easily rollout pricing changes, and offer your customers an awesome billing experience.
Founded by Jack Brown & Vijit Dhingra
Vijit and Jack both previously built the usage based billing and customer portal product at Stripe.
Problem 🔴
Too often, customers tell us they use Stripe for billing but when they ask how they manage their credits or track usage, they always hear the same answer: “we built it in-house”. These pricing models are not edge-cases. They’re the new normal in the age of AI.
Solution ⚒️
uselark.ai is a modern billing platform with the flexibility to support any pricing model (credit-based, usage-based, hybrid, dimensional, token-based, etc…) at any scale (10x more than Stripe).
Whether you’re building an AI powered API or a B2B SaaS product, Lark provides everything (including checkout + customer-facing portal) you need to implement complex billing logic without the hassle.
A few nice things about them -
- You don't have to manage any webhooks or store custom billing state (like stripe customer id) in your database
- Their APIs are simple. You don't have to integrate with a separate checkout API. They also provide frontend SDKs to check billing state (like remaining credits, feature access)
- Seamless pricing changes that automatically apply to your customers without involving engineers
- They also help you track margins & LLM costs per customer for AI applications
📘 Quickstart: https://docs.uselark.ai/

Checkout + customer-facing portal included
No separate APIs, state management, or webhooks

Customer-facing portal includes real-time usage and subscription management

Scalability
