Capabilities
What You Can Do
Token metering, credit wallets, rapid pricing iteration, and observability for AI workloads.
Meter Tokens, Calls, and GPU Time
Ingest events for every AI usage dimension: tokens consumed, inference API calls, GPU hours, model training jobs, and custom units. Rate each dimension independently.

Hybrid Plans for AI Products
Combine a fixed platform fee with per-token or per-call usage overages. Give enterprise buyers a predictable base cost with flexible consumption on top.
How It Works
Three Steps to AI Billing
1
Stream Usage Events
Instrument your AI endpoints to emit usage events (tokens, calls, GPU seconds). The Aviate Metering Plugin handles deduplication and aggregation.
2
Rate and Invoice
Define per-model or per-tier pricing. Kill Bill rates consumption, applies wallet credits, and generates a line-itemized invoice.
3
Analyze and Adjust
Feed billing data into your analytics stack. Use insights to refine pricing, detect abuse, and find upsell opportunities for premium models.

FAQ
Common Questions
Can Kill Bill meter LLM tokens and inference calls?
Yes. The Aviate Metering Plugin accepts any custom usage dimension. You can meter input tokens, output tokens, inference calls, GPU seconds, and any other unit. Each dimension can have its own pricing tier.
How do credit wallets work for AI billing?
Customers purchase credit packs (for example, $100 of API credits). As they make calls, credits are drawn down. The Aviate Wallet Plugin handles balance tracking, low-balance alerts, and auto-replenishment so usage never stops unexpectedly.
Can I price different AI models differently?
Yes. You can define separate usage types for each model (GPT-4 vs. GPT-3.5, for example) and meter them independently. Each can have its own per-token rate, tiered pricing, or flat fee.
How fast can I change pricing?
Kill Bill's catalog versioning lets you publish a new pricing version via API. Changes take effect immediately or on the next billing cycle, depending on your configuration. No code deploy required.
Is there a tutorial for AI usage-based billing?
Yes. The Kill Bill documentation includes a step-by-step tutorial for setting up AI usage-based billing with the Aviate Metering Plugin, covering event ingestion, rating rules, wallet integration, and invoice generation.
