lago VS lotus

We shared a few thoughts about « why oss does not win by being cheaper », we are trying o find the balance between oss, quality, sustainability, indeed.

Last but not least: we’ve historically took a little bit too much time to answer applications (we’re still a small team), and I’d like to personally apologize for this.

I'm a cofounder at Lotus (https://github.com/uselotus/lotus).

First, congrats on the launch Lago. I've been very impressed with your ability to educate devs about the intricacies of billing and you are certainly pushing the entire space forward.

While you offer coupons and credit notes, there are features you don't have that we have prioritized and built, including, usage alerts, plan versioning, gauge metrics, custom sql etc. etc. Point being I think its unfair to say we are a subset of your product.

In addition, we have a 25+ year billing expert on our team who has been CTO of a startup processing $300 million a year.

Lastly, I don't think it's fair to make statements about our customers just because we haven't "announced" them yet.

Happy to chat more with anyone about our differences.

Sharing Lotus, a universal pricing and packaging system that is written in Django/python. Very excited about this project and having an open-source monetization engine in the python ecosystem. https://github.com/uselotus/lotus
