What is a MonetizationOS and how does Stigg implement it?
A MonetizationOS centralizes pricing, packaging, entitlements, and usage into one programmable system. Stigg implements this by providing a unified platform that acts as a single source of truth, allowing companies to define, update, and experiment with packaging instantly, while keeping product, billing, CRM, CPQ, and data warehouses in sync automatically.
How does Stigg handle different monetization models?
Stigg supports a wide array of monetization models including usage-based pricing, role-based pricing, overages, geo-fenced pricing, seats and subscriptions, hybrid pricing, a-la-carte options, budget caps, AI add-ons, credit-based pricing, feature-level trials, dynamic offers, bundles, soft and hard usage limits, and custom enterprise plans.
How does Stigg integrate with existing billing systems?
Stigg is designed to replace or augment existing billing stacks. It integrates natively with current billing systems through a bi-directional sync, allowing companies to gain control over usage and subscription data without a risky and costly billing vendor migration.
What deployment options does Stigg offer for developers?
Stigg provides API controls for every feature, easy-to-integrate SDKs in multiple languages, a Sidecar service for low-latency entitlement checks and real-time updates, and advanced deployment methods to stream data into local databases via dedicated queues or webhooks.
How does Stigg calculate paying customers for its pricing model?
Stigg calculates monthly paying customers by counting the number of unique paying subscriptions activated over a 30-day period. This includes unique paid subscriptions, renewals, and one-time purchases. Anonymous users, users in trial periods, or users under free plans are not counted and are unlimited.
What happens if a customer exceeds their subscription tier limit on Stigg?
Stigg does not impose penalties for overage usage. If a customer exceeds their tier's limit, Stigg will automatically adjust without penalizing them for growth.
