Congrats on the launch! I fully intend on using Lago for my SaaS.

I wonder, would it ever be possible to use the structure provided by lago to also set up a marketplace where user can buy/sell from eachother?

Thanks, we're excited to have you on board! We've had some requests about billing for marketplaces. Currently, Lago is designed to bill subscriptions with embedded fixed fees and usage-based fees, resulting in a consolidated "end of period" invoice. Marketplaces, however, require immediate invoicing with a different logic. We have a product vision dedicated to SaaS for now, but this could be a use-case to tackle in the future.

That's great to hear marketplaces are a possibility in the future, even if it's a remote possibility right now. I understand you want to focus and hone in on your current product vision, but glad you are open to serving marketplaces too. Thanks for the great product!
