What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Lago

A billing platform that ingests usage events, applies pricing rules, and generates invoices for any billing model. It supports usage-based, subscription, prepaid, and hybrid pricing, with real-time metering, payment orchestration, and revenue analytics.

Independently observed

Viobusiness

VioBusiness is an iPhone and Android app for invoices, quotes, and expenses. It runs entirely on your phone - no sign-up required, no monthly bill - and keeps your books as private as they used to be on paper. Cross-device cloud backup is an optional add-on, never a default.
