Campfire captures usage data from any source, including APIs, flat files, and direct integrations, and applies customer-specific pricing rules to calculate charges. The rating engine supports tiered pricing, volume discounts, committed usage, overage rates, and mixed models that combine fixed and variable fees. Before billing, usage data is validated, deduplicated, and processed to ensure accuracy. Each invoice includes a clear breakdown of consumption, giving customers full visibility into how charges are calculated and helping reduce disputes.
Campfire allows billing against a wide range of usage metrics, such as API calls, storage, transactions, or active users. Pricing can be set at customer, product, or contract level, with support for graduated tiers, minimum commitments, prepaid credits, and more. This flexibility makes it easier to match pricing to how services are actually consumed. Real-time dashboards show current usage against plan limits, helping both teams and customers track activity and manage costs before thresholds are exceeded.
Campfire provides detailed usage reporting on every invoice, allowing customers to reconcile charges against their own data. Customer-facing portals give real-time access to usage, with options to set alerts and download detailed reports. Unusual activity is flagged automatically, helping teams investigate potential issues before invoices are issued. This level of transparency supports clearer communication with customers and reduces the likelihood of billing disputes, while giving both sides better control over usage and spend.
