Stigg is the usage runtime for AI products: the real-time enforcement and governance layer between your app and your billing stack. It decides what every customer, user, team, and agent can do, the moment they try. Millisecond credit checks, zero overdraft, enterprise governance, and modular BYOC. Metering, credits, entitlements, and governance in one runtime. Enforce in the request path instead of reconciling on the invoice. Free forever for AI startups.
Hi everyone, Dor here, co-founder and CEO of Stigg.
Four years ago, Anton and I started Stigg because building pricing and entitlements in-house was quietly eating engineering teams alive. Every pricing change was a deployment. Every enterprise deal became a custom integration.
We were right about the problem. Then the AI wave made it much sharper.
The most sophisticated AI companies started building their own billing and access-control infrastructure from scratch, because nothing on the market could decide in real time whether a request should proceed.
A frontier lab's head of financial engineering put it simply: what they needed was something close to real time that could answer one question - do you have credits or not?
When a single API call costs real money and agents spawn sub-agents in milliseconds, "we'll reconcile at month-end" stops being a strategy.
Stigg 2.0 is our answer: the usage runtime for AI products. It decides what every customer, user, team, and agent is allowed to do, the moment they try. Credits, metering, entitlements, and governance in one system that sits alongside the billing stack you already have.
It's free forever for AI startups, because we want you building your product, not rebuilding ours. When you land the enterprise deal that breaks your homegrown system, we'll already be there.
We're launching at the AI World Fair. We'd love your honest take, try it, push on it, and tell us what's missing.
