Great points! I think the main differentiation for us is the connection to pricing and billing. Let’s say you have a feature like “how many seats (users) this customer has” it’s not enough to just be able to define it and fetch it where’ve you need it - which is basically what the tools you mentioned will give you. It depends on which pricing tier the customer’s in. Maybe they bought 5 seats but then 2 more as an add on on top of it. Maybe you want to allow them to use more seats, but just bill them accordingly.

Does it make sense?

Do you expect Enrolla to cover the ground that Lago [0] covers, wrt metering and billing? Or would the golden path for a SaaS startup be to integrate both?

For context: we're in the process of evaluating/integrating Lago after several years of writing custom billing logic while figuring out "pricing-market" fit.

Yes, we're actually working on supporting metering and billing these days. I think the golden path for a SaaS startup is to have as few products as possible.
