About Lago
Lago is layering AI agents and enterprise gates onto an already-deep usage-based billing engine.
Lago is an open-source usage-based billing platform that has matured well past metering and into the full operational stack — entitlements, wallets, credit notes, e-invoicing, and analytics. Recent quarters have added an AI agent and MCP server for natural-language billing operations, ML-backed revenue forecasts, and the enterprise scaffolding (custom roles, security logs, audit-tracked communications) that procurement teams ask for. The wallet subsystem in particular is becoming a product of its own, with multiple wallets per customer, transaction limits, alerts, and full traceability of credit flows.
