Stripe completes Metronome acquisition

SAN FRANCISCO AND DUBLIN-Stripe, the programmable financial services company, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Metronome, the leader in orchestrating billing for the most complex usage-based models.

Scott Woody, CEO of Metronome, on LinkedIn:
By joining Stripe, we're expanding [our] ambition significantly. Together, we're building the foundational monetization infrastructure for the next generation of software: systems that are flexible, data-driven, and capable of supporting everything from two engineers in a garage to the largest global enterprises. For customers, this means deeper partnerships, faster product development, and a more powerful, reliable, and integrated platform spanning Metronome and Stripe.

Patrick Collison, Cofounder and CEO of Stripe, on LinkedIn:
We believe the shift toward usage-based models will be a defining feature of the next decade for our industry. Metering and billing are in a very direct sense the interface between "product" and "business". Scott and the team have built an exceptionally powerful metering engine that already powers some of the most ambitious AI companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and NVIDIA. We're looking forward to integrating these capabilities with the Stripe Billing platform.
