UsageGate tells your app if a user can still use a feature. Example: Hobby = 20 AI image cleanups. Studio = 400. Before you run the cleanup, you ask UsageGate. Yes → run it. No → block it. You do not build counters, databases, or “did they pay?” logic. You write the plans. UsageGate enforces them. For Next.js. Free to start. usagegate.io
Hey, Amine here.
I kept rebuilding the same thing: a pricing page that promised limits, and an API that still called the model after people ran out. Stripe billed them. It did not stop the request. I paid the bill.
UsageGate is that missing layer. You define the plan table. We enforce it, live counters, the ledger, no double-spend, entitlements that follow the plan.
If you are shipping an AI or usage-based product in Next.js, this is for you. Happy to answer anything in the comments.
