As the leading open-source billing platform we help businesses build flexible pricing models and scale with confidence. We've raised over $22 million in funding from top-tier investors including Y Combinator and FirstMark.

Our platform has garnered around 10K stars on GitHub a testament to our active and growing developer community. Companies such as PayPal CoreWeave Synthesia and Mistral.ai choose Lago for their billing. And we have barely spent any money on Marketing or Ads so far.
