Show HN: I built a credit-based system API
Hey HN! I'm a solo developer who's been building web apps for the past two years. I kept seeing other devs struggle with clunky credit systems for usage-based pricing.
So, I decided to build Creduse: a robust API that makes integrating usage-based pricing into your web app very easy. It records every credit-related action as an immutable transaction in a ledger (nope, no blockchain involved), so you don't have to worry about data integrity or complex accounting.
Is this something you'd find useful for your projects? What features would make it even better for your projects?
- valtlfelipe 2y agoNice idea. Congrats on the launch! I don't know how it could work, just an idea I had; it could have an integration with stripe, so it automaticaly refills the credits on subscription renewals.
- fraromeo 2y agoInteresting take. I will dig more into this, I'm pretty sure it would be an interesting feature for potential customers
- darrenwestall 2y agoWe've been using this for the last 6 or so months. Saved us days, if not weeks, of dev time. Great product & support.
- fraromeo 2y agoA better testimonial could never be made <3 Thank you so much for your support!

- shib71 2y agoMight be useful to add tags. The more complex credit-based services often have categories (e.g. ec2, s3, etc). It could be useful for the dev to track service usage by spend, the client can get visibility into their own spend breakdown, and free trials often break out the free credits amongst different services.
- marban 2y agoWhat are the main differences to Rapidapi?
- hapidjus 2y agoGreat work. Nitpick, the $24.9 looks strange I'd suggest $24.90 or even $24.99
- gunian 2y agoI am not a dev but studying the origins of SaaS and the transition to meter based payments What are some differences / similarities with https://github.com/getlago/lago https://github.com/getlago/lago?
- grepfru_it 2y agoThis product is not ready. At the very simplest level, your terms of service and privacy policy are incomplete.
