Meter → enforce → sync
One runtime path. Usage becomes a decision, then a Stripe meter event — not a spreadsheet after the invoice lands.
Hold the switch
Block overages before the provider bills. Policy runs at pre-execution — not as a post-hoc alert.

FAQ
Straight answers for the category questions.
What is AI payment infrastructure?
Infrastructure that meters AI usage, enforces spend before execution, and syncs usage to payment providers like Stripe so teams can run usage-based billing without building a custom stack.
Is AI payment infrastructure different from AI billing infrastructure?
They describe the same job. UsageFlow calls this AI runtime billing infrastructure — meter, enforce, and sync usage to Stripe from your app runtime.
How does UsageFlow sync to Stripe?
Metered usage becomes billing-ready events. Configure a Stripe API key in UsageFlow so we can fire meter events to your Stripe meters — founders and FinOps report and charge without a custom billing pipeline.
