If you’re exploring usage-based billing or trying to modernize how your business meters customer activity, chances are you’ve got questions. And you’re not alone. Since launching Maxio Metering, we’ve had in-depth conversations with SaaS product leaders, finance teams, and RevOps professionals all navigating the same territory: What exactly can Maxio Metering do? How flexible is it? What does implementation look like, and how does pricing work?
We pulled data from dozens of customer and prospect conversations, analyzed recurring themes, and cross-checked our product documentation to bring you this curated list of FAQs. Whether you’re evaluating Maxio Metering for an upcoming launch or planning to evolve your current billing infrastructure, this guide gives you clear, no-fluff answers to help move your decision forward.
Product Functionality
Q: Can Maxio Metering support caps — like charging only the first 5 usage events per user?
Yes. You can define usage caps at the individual entity level (e.g., per customer, user, or transaction). For example, if you only want to charge for the first 5 activities tied to a specific user ID, we can support that logic using flexible metering rules. You’ll configure this in your event schema and usage pricing setup.
Q: Can we meter usage by unique identifiers, like a candidate or verification ID?
Absolutely. Maxio Metering allows you to track and bill usage based on custom identifiers. Whether you’re linking usage to a project ID, user ID, or any unique token, we support metering at that granularity.
Q: Does Maxio Metering support different rates for different types of usage or geographies?
Yes. You can define usage pricing based on multiple dimensions—such as geography, plan tier, or custom attributes (like usage type or data volume). This is perfect for product teams experimenting with overage models or regional rate structures.
Q: Can I notify customers when they’re about to hit their usage limits?
While we can help you periodically query usage totals and build an alerting/limit mechanism, we don’t do this in real-time today. It’s on our roadmap though, stay tuned!

Yes. Maxio Metering is designed for flexibility. You can adjust pricing tiers, overage rules, usage caps, and custom metrics without rebuilding your entire product catalog.
Q: How do I stay informed about product updates?
