Elapse turns subscriptions into a stopwatch
A billing SDK for per-second subscriptions on APIs, GPUs, streams, and other services that run while customers use them.
Field notes
Elapse models a product as a dollar-per-second rate, then routes a subscriber through hosted checkout and reports lifecycle changes to the merchant’s server. Its visible GPU 4090 example uses a rate of $0.004 per second and shows an 83-second cancellation settling $0.33. The SDK examples cover product creation, checkout-session creation, raw-body webhook verification, and entitlement actions triggered by events such as subscription.created and subscription.canceled.
