It looks like this is more akin to a React-only Chargebee where entitlements etc. are stored with the billing provider.

(Apologies if I am misreading the site.)

It scans that way right now because Stripe is more visibly involved in the onboarding process. Maybe another way to parse it is "Shopify for software", where we combine the movement of money and subsequent state transitions involved in unlocking value. But instead of shipping physical items, it's granting entitlements.

Either way, thank you for the feedback. We're still refining how we explain it.

This is what Chargebee is doing[1]. I believe Zuora is another big company operating in the space.

There are a few billing engines that have shipped entitlement management offerings.

We’re focused on making the best DX for managing entitlements as possible. A lot of that comes down to details: cloning pricing models across environments, React hooks to manage your state. We want to build something you pick to build with on Day 1 - rather than something your boss tells you that you have to use.
