Your Billing Infrastructure
Should be
Payment Gateway-Agnostic.
Stripe’s acquisition of Metronome may streamline their ecosystem, but it risks locking your complex usage and pricing models into a closed, payment-processor-first walled garden.
OneBill gives you an independent, payment-gateway-agnostic billing engine that scales with your roadmap — not Stripe’s.

The Hidden Cost of Consolidation
Two very different billing systems are being forced together and with with that comes uncertainty. Existing Stripe and Metronome customers now face a future shaped by someone else’s roadmap.
The Ecosystem Tax
Locking into Stripe’s expanding ecosystem comes with rising fees, tighter product coupling, and shrinking optionality. As Stripe pulls Metronome into its broader platform strategy, expect constraints on payment processor choice, pricing flexibility, and integration patterns, all dictated by an ecosystem whose incentives may not align with yours.
The Innovation Slump
Merging two billing products doesn’t accelerate innovation, it slows it down. For months or even years, engineering effort shifts from shipping improvements to reconciling architectures and eliminating redundant systems. Customers should expect delayed features, quiet regressions, and a long stretch of roadmap uncertainty!
The Integration Fallacy
Two distinct billing engines cannot simply “snap together” without consequences. Merging Stripe Billing and Metronome will create overlapping logic, duplicated rules, and shifting ownership over core billing functions. Existing customers on either side face a period of instability and uncertainty.

Voices of the Independent
See why high-volume SaaS leaders choose independence over payment-processor lock-in.
“OneBill did an exceptional job of executing and extremely complex conversion from our previous platform we had used for 20+ years. Beyond billing our migration this project required complex integration with our custom built back office software which OneBill navigated skillfully and thoroughly.”
“Almost all billing tasks are automated, keeping us and our customers satisfied. Migrating from our old billing platform to onebill was seamless and the onebill staff guided us every step of the way. Integration with numerous third party services consolidates billing operations into one easy to use platform.”
“OneBill allowed us to automate our monthly billing saving hours of work for several people each month. OneBill was solid in all areas where other platforms we looked at were higher priced with little notable benefit, or lower priced with a lack of required features and functions.”
