What is OpenMeter?
OpenMeter rebuilds its API around v3 entitlements, notifications and billing.
OpenMeter is an open-source usage metering and billing engine still on 1.0.0 betas. The September and October betas moved customer entitlements, notification channels and rules, and app actions into a v3 API, while dozens of fixes tightened invoicing, charges and custom-currency billing. Its feed has been quiet since October 9.
What is TaxDome?
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
OpenMeter vs TaxDome: editorial side-by-side
OpenMeter
0.0FINANCE
OpenMeter rebuilds its API around v3 entitlements, notifications and billing.
◆ Current state
OpenMeter is an open-source usage metering and billing engine still on 1.0.0 betas. The September and October betas moved customer entitlements, notification channels and rules, and app actions into a v3 API, while dozens of fixes tightened invoicing, charges and custom-currency billing. Its feed has been quiet since October 9.
◆ Where it's heading
The work is converging on a stable v3 API for metering, entitlements and invoicing, with custom currencies and credits as the main new billing capability. Deprecating the LLM cost endpoints shows it narrowing to the core billing job rather than chasing AI-specific features.
◆ Prediction
The entries point toward more v3 endpoints going stable ahead of a 1.0 release, but the five-week pause since beta.236 leaves the timing unclear.
TaxDome
5.0FINANCE
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
◆ Current state
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
◆ Where it's heading
After the October push on firm-wide visibility (Work Forecaster, grouping jobs by pipeline), TaxDome is now on smaller workflow fixes that save clicks for staff who live in Jobs, Tasks and Pipelines. The cadence is several small releases a week.
◆ Prediction
More small list and filter fixes are likely, since TaxDome is openly asking users which interface details slow them down. Filters stored only per browser suggest saved filters synced across devices could follow.
