// EDITOR'S TAKE
Lago is the closest to Recurly, handling plans, subscriptions, usage-based pricing and invoicing, and it has the largest community of the group. Meteroid attacks the same problem with a tidier data model but far less production mileage, while OpenMeter only does metering and still needs a billing engine behind it, and Autumn is a thin layer over Stripe rather than something you own.
