Nozle
Getting Started

Introduction

What is Nozle and who is it for

Nozle is an AI billing and margin intelligence platform. It gives AI companies usage-based billing, real-time entitlements, and per-customer margin visibility in a single integrated stack.

Who is Nozle for?

Nozle is built for AI companies that:

  • Bill customers based on API calls, tokens, compute time, or other usage metrics
  • Need real-time visibility into per-customer and per-model costs
  • Want feature gating and usage limits without building entitlement logic from scratch
  • Use Stripe for payments and need managed checkout flows

Key capabilities

CapabilityWhat it does
Usage-based billingMeter any event, aggregate in real time, and invoice automatically
Real-time entitlementsFeature gates and usage limits evaluated at the edge with sub-100ms latency
Margin intelligencePer-customer, per-model cost tracking so you know your true margins
Stripe checkoutEmbedded checkout and subscription management with no custom Stripe code

Architecture

Nozle is built around two layers:

  1. Nozle API -- The backend that handles Stripe checkout, margin analytics, entitlement evaluation, and usage event ingestion. Runs at api.nozle.app.

  2. SDKs -- Client and server libraries that connect your application to Nozle.

You interact with Nozle through the SDKs or REST API -- all the complexity of billing, entitlements, and margin lives behind a single API surface.

SDKs

Nozle ships three SDKs:

  • @nozle-js/react -- 25+ billing components and hooks for React apps. Checkout buttons, usage meters, plan selectors, and a full billing portal out of the box.
  • @nozle-js/node -- Server-side billing operations and event tracking for Node.js. Report usage events, check entitlements, manage customers.
  • nozle-sdk (Python) -- Server-side billing for Python backends. Same capabilities as the Node SDK.
