don't hold back

Hey y'all, my co-founder and I just released an alpha version of our software. Eager to hear everyones opinion on the product, the site, and SDK.

Some specific questions we had:

- Is it clear what we do from the messaging? Would be helpful to hear in your own words what you think it is we do

- Are the SDK docs legible or are they missing something?

- Any other feedback is appreciated!

We want to make it really easy for this new wave of builders to get billing stood up quickly so they can focus on product (more on this outlook in an paper I wrote). We REALLY welcome candid, constructive feedback and appreciate any thoughts in general. below is more structured info

What the heck is Flowglad?

Flowglad is a drop-in billing system that adapts to any pricing model, letting you set up and manage billing in seconds. Unlike traditional solutions, Flowglad is built for developers, integrates seamlessly with your stack, and removes the need for maintaining a second copy of your billing data.

100% Open Source – Full transparency and flexibility, with a GitHub repo you can explore and contribute to: GitHub.
Set Up in Seconds – AI-powered integration removes the need to sift through endless documentation.
Full-Stack SDK – React hooks and backend functions designed for real-world usage.
Zero Webhooks – No more brittle event triggers; Flowglad fetches real-time data on demand.
Styled Embedded UIs – Drop-in, customizable billing components (coming soon!).
Single Source of Truth – Access billing data scoped to your auth layer instantly.
Built on Stripe's Rails – Seamlessly integrates with your existing Stripe account while fixing its billing shortcomings.

Why choose Flowglad?

Billing isn’t just about payments; it’s about accuracy, reliability, and control. Stripe revolutionized payments, but billing remains a structural nightmare—a silent tax on engineers who end up becoming part-time accountants, debugging sync issues, and reconciling revenue discrepancies.

Dev First

We believe billing should be:

API-First & Modular – No more monolithic systems; plug-and-play components adapt to any pricing model.
Real-Time & Transparent – Billing should be a source of truth, not a black box.
Built for Experimentation – Most startups aren’t iterating on pricing enough due to technical friction. Flowglad removes that friction
