Review Autumn?
Autumn earns strong praise for stripping Stripe complexity down to a few clear API calls and cutting implementation time from weeks to hours. Makers of
highlight a smooth SDK and thoughtful dashboard. Users report fast onboarding, reliable metering and access control, and no need for webhooks or custom billing logic. Several note launching SaaS in days, effortless usage-based pricing, and a clean, intuitive experience.
Hey Product Hunt! Autumn is a layer over Stripe that makes it 10x easier to setup your app’s free / paid plans, and manage them as you grow.
The Problem
Stripe is low level and it’s hard to build AI pricing. There’s 5 different functions to manage subscriptions, 5 different brittle webhooks and a bunch of DB tables you need to maintain (gate features, track usage etc)
When you change pricing (which AI companies do A LOT), everything needs to be ripped out, replaced with different product/price IDs and migrated. This really sucks.
What’s Autumn?
Autumn is your app’s DB for your customer’s subscription state, feature permissions and usage tracking. You make queries to us and we’ll tell you if a customer can access something:
Model your pricing plans in our dashboard / CLI (set pricing, feature limits, usage-billing, credits etc)
/checkout to handle billing. Use the same function for new subs, upgrades/downgrades, add-ons etc
/track usage events when a customer does something (eg uses a credit)
/check for feature access to handle usage limits / paywalls. Autumn tells you yes/no in realtime.
We built the integration so that it can be reused no matter the pricing model (including org / centralized billing). When you want to change pricing, just update your dashboard / config file, migrate any customers you need to and everything’s done. You can also set custom pricing for enterprise customers in a similar way.
It’s open source, used in prod by 100s of developers, and by YC startups that are processing millions.
About us
We were in YC's F24 batch building software for banks, before pivoting the day before demo day. We pivoted around for a few months before stumbling on this. Now we’re raising with the YC S25 batch!

I don’t have an AI product, but my users require prepayment and a credit system. I had never built that, and I had spent 3 weeks building it with stripe and Postgres, then I found autumn and got it finished in a few hours. Also, their onboarding experience is very simple. Don’t waste your time building a credits system yourself.
What's great
fast setup (3)onboarding experience (1)saves development time (3)
Integrating payments with Stripe can be a hassle, but Autumn makes managing Stripe super easy. The biggest benefit being that we no longer have to worry about managing webhooks and it allows us to setup different pricing options and manage customer subscriptions easy. It's especially helpful when it comes to usage based billing as an AI company.
Oh I love Autumn. Autumn has completely simplified the process for me when vibe-coding. Integrating with Lovable for usage-based pricing only took 3 prompts now for me, it's great for both my developer friend and me as a non-technical builder
