Flexprice Raises $500K Pre-Seed to Build Open-Source Billing Stack for AI and Agentic Companies

Flexprice, the open-source billing and metering platform built for AI and Agentic companies, has raised $500,000 in pre-seed funding led by early stage VC firm TDV Partners.

The round also saw participation from seasoned operators and angel investors from Brij Bhushan (Co-founders, magicpin), Gunjan Patidar, Ram Singla and Pradyot Ghate (leadership, Zomato), Sandeep Gupta (Co-founder, Innovaccer), Akash Singh (ex-Co-founder, Observe.AI), and Harshit Dwivedi (Founder, Aftershoot).

With the new funding, Flexprice will expand its engineering team, accelerate integrations with popular payment gateways, and deepen its open-source offerings as it builds the modern billing stack for AI and Agentic companies.

Solving a new-age billing bottleneck

The AI boom is fundamentally reshaping monetization strategies. Over two thirds of SaaS companies are now launching or integrating GenAI features, dramatically increasing infrastructure costs and altering customer value perception. To adapt, a majority of SaaS and API-first businesses are shifting away from static subscriptions in favor of usage-based or hybrid billing models that better align pricing with actual customer usage.

However, legacy billing tools, built for a predictable, seat-based SaaS world, struggle to meet the demands of today’s dynamic, metered AI and API-first business models. As a result, engineering teams end up spending months building and maintaining complex infrastructure for metering, entitlement gating, usage aggregation, and billing logic, creating costly bottlenecks and diverting resources away from core product development.

Flexprice is addressing these challenges by offering developers a modular billing layer that helps launch and scale usage-based, hybrid, or custom pricing without needing them to reinvent the wheel. With its plug-and-play architecture, the platform integrates directly with popular payment providers like Stripe, Adyen and Razorpay helping teams skip months of engineering effort and eliminate vendor lock-in.

“Today’s AI and Agentic teams need to move fast as the competition on product distribution goes up, ability to move fast with pricing and scalable billing plays a critical role. Flexprice is built to ensure pricing, packaging and billing are never a bottleneck” said Manish Choudhary, CEO of Flexprice. “We built Flexprice to give developers control, flexibility, and peace of mind.”

Key Features of Flexprice:

• Open-source, self-hostable architecture for transparency and control.
• Developer-first APIs and SDKs for real-time usage tracking, event instrumentation, and quota gating
• Support for any pricing model, including pay-as-you-go, credits, seats, or volume tiers
• Real-time analytics dashboards and invoice visibility for customers and internal teams
• Composable design that works as a metering layer or a full billing engine

Built for the AI-First Economy

The total addressable market (TAM) for modern AI billing infrastructure is estimated at $4 billion, growing at 20% CAGR, driven by the rise of generative AI, API platforms, and real-time analytics. Flexprice is targeting both the 70,000+ “AI-native” startups worldwide and large enterprises evolving their AI monetization models.

“We believe open infrastructure is the future,” said Nikhil Mishra, CTO of Flexprice. “Our goal is to make modern billing accessible, composable, and cost-effective - whether you’re an early-stage AI startup or a scaling business.”

Founded in 2025, Flexprice’s founding team includes former product and engineering leaders from leading AI and consumer tech companies. The startup is already working with early-stage AI companies building LLM tools, search infrastructure, and real-time analytics engines.

“We believe Flexprice is solving a fundamental infrastructure gap in the monetization stack for AI and Agentic companies,” said Ujwal Sutaria, General Partner at TDV Partners. “The team’s open-source-first approach, deep developer empathy, and modular product vision give them a unique edge in a rapidly expanding market.”

Salesforce has recently announced new capabilities for Revenue Lifecycle Management that can significantly enhance the quote-to-cash sales process.

Revenue Lifecycle Management is for direct sales users who require quoting. In addition, it is for users who manage and administer the Revenue Lifecycle Management environment, including building products and defining pricing.

A flexible metadata model allows businesses to deploy the precise product capabilities they need, empowering them to automate processes anywhere they transact, including third-party integrations.

Enhancing Salesforce’s quote-to-cash portfolio, which includes Salesforce CPQ and Salesforce Billing, this full-lifecycle solution offers numerous capabilities, including:

Billquick Is An Intelligent 4-in-1 Tool for Time Tracking, Project Management, Billing & Accounting Solution

Bills are something that most of us dread looking at by the end of the month. While some dread from the amount, others dread about forgetting to pay that amount by the due date. Taking this bill tension quickly and permanently away from all of us is a Torrance, CA based startup, BillQuick.

Considering the rapid pace at which the current century people are living their life at, BillQuick can be considered as a much needed invention. It is an intelligent software tool for project management, time tracking, billing and accounting solution. The software's aim is to help people improve performance, increase efficiency and streamline various processes.



The idea of developing something like BillQuick first came to Shafat Qazi, the founder, while he was a partner in a structural engineering firm based out of Los Angeles.

Then, being a member of the board of the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California, Shafat was bestowed upon the duty of regularly surveying the member firms. While surveying, he found that many of these firms were struggling with time and billing and other business management processes. That's when he realised, he wasn't the only one in the boat and there has to be a better way to deal with all this.

[caption id="attachment_105918" align="alignleft" width="167"] Shafat Qazi[/caption]

In the year 2009, Shafat had a chanced encounter with Steve Burns. Similar to Shafat, Steve had also been living a dual life for several years, by being a partner at an architecture firm by day and a software developer by night. Steve had also realised that there had to be a better way to track time and projects in order to make things easier for architects all around the world. Soon after his this realisation, Steve decided to do something about it and came up with ArchiOffice, a software creation meant to help architects better handle time and projects. The product ended up being a huge success and an inspirational story for Shafat to begin on his entrepreneurial journey.

Over the years, BillQuick has been able to establish itself as an all-in-one software that streamlines daily task for the user and can be used on per subscription basis. The site earns a revenue of 500,000 per month and gets 20,000 unique visits per month and 300,000 users yearly.

Seeing the great success in the present, the startup aims to cash on its success by building a product that will be capable enough to encompass every aspect of project managing.

So, if time hasn't been your best friend lately, BillQuick may prove to be a great saviour for you.
