Sorta! Stripe recently launched an entitlements API [1] that is meant to aid in provisioning and deprovisioning customers, but product integration is not provided (You create subscribe/unsubscribe webhooks and update the entitlements i

Thanks! Great questions. 1. Today, we coexist with entitlement solutions (feature flags, auth systems, etc) by either working alongside them or feeding into entitlement aggregators. Basically, we handle the pricing-related data, logic, and

John Bolton and James Bach are the founders of RST [1] and generally big names in the “formal” software testing space. Presumably the testers.ai folks aren’t fans. :p [1] https://rapid-software-testing.com/authors/

I’ve been working on a project to make SaaS (and really any software) pricing and packaging easier. Think things like plans, entitlements, dimensions, metering, subscription migrations, onboarding, and experimentation, all completely indepe

Some of these immediately resonate. I'd love (4) to be a reality but it's going to be a struggle to get there, not that it isn't worth striving for. And while I agree with (5), the "covers" are often complex/dy

This is cool! We're just starting to look into this area as we integrate pricing/billing/plan logic and entitlements at scale. Thanks for the example and reminder to read through the Zanzibar white paper.

> ironically with totally non-transparent pricing Oh man tell me about it. I also think the trend towards metered, pay-as-you-go pricing in general doesn't make sense for many businesses or their customers, but I digress. Curious if

I'm actually working on a solution to plan entitlements among other similar functionality right now. While you can get a basic solution set up with feature flags, we've found that the organization and evolution of billing/pri

I know we’re really getting into the weeds here, but I’m curious what issues you’re having with iOS Safari and Kagi. I’m using it with both normal and private tabs and it’s working great. There were a series of fixes in the past month to th

Except it isn't a fork. It's basically two projects merged into a new one and a small blurb in the readme to that effect. Why not fork and contact John about taking the original one over? If he doesn't respond within a reason
