Stand Up Usage-Based Billing and Catch Under-Metered Revenue (Claude Cowork Self-Install Kit)

Set up metered billing in Stripe and reconcile it against your own usage logs so you stop leaking revenue you never charged for.

You bill on usage but you're not sure the meters are right, so you're probably leaking revenue on usage you never charged for. Every month you invoice and hope the numbers line up with what you actually delivered.

That's the leak. It isn't effort; the meters run on trust instead of on a reconciliation you can measure.

What this kit does

You define meters and dimensional rate cards in Stripe using the 2026 dimensional-pricing and usage-analytics capabilities, wire credit grants with balance alerts and automatic top-ups, and build a reconciliation job that compares Stripe meter events against your product's own usage logs to surface under-metering and silent revenue leakage. It turns "we think we're billing usage correctly" into a metered billing system that is measured and reconciled.

What you can expect

Usage billed matches usage delivered, under-metered or unbilled usage recovered, credit balances and top-ups automated, and revenue-leakage incidents caught before the invoice goes out.

Who it's for

Built for usage-billed SaaS and AI startups and the solo operators who own their billing stack. This is a self-install kit you run yourself with your own AI agent, built for Claude Cowork first.

What's included

Skip building from scratch. No coding. You get the complete kit your own AI agent reads, sets up, and runs for you, step by step:

• A Start Here guide, so you know exactly what to open first
• The agent install instructions, the part that lets your own AI agent stand the workflow up for you
• A guided setup that interviews you about your business, so the workflow fits how you actually work
• Workflow Briefing: the plan, the inputs, and what done looks like
• Task List your agent follows to build it
• MCP Connection Guide for the tools involved
• Tool Setup notes for accounts, keys, and permissions
• Prompt Library, including the ready-to-run prompt for this workflow
• Troubleshooting and maintenance guide for the common snags
• A Next Steps and Roadmap, so you know what to automate next once this one is running
• A Run Guide you keep, so you can run it any time with no setup again

This one pays for itself out of revenue you already earned. Under-metering compounds every cycle it goes unmeasured, so the reconciliation is worth more the longer you've been billing without it.

What you'll need (not included)

This kit is the workflow, the prompts, and the setup guide. You bring Stripe Billing, billed by Stripe, plus access to your product's own usage logs for the reconciliation step.

You'll also need your Claude account on Cowork's Pro plan or higher, so your agent can connect your tools and use the most capable model while it installs the workflow.

Not on Claude? The kit is plain files that describe what to achieve rather than which buttons to press, so a capable AI agent on another platform, like ChatGPT Work, can follow the same steps. If anything doesn't map to your setup, email support and we'll get you working.

How to install this kit

Connect Stripe at claude.com/connectors and authorize your account. Open the kit in Claude Cowork and run the included prompt. Step-by-step instructions ship inside every kit, so you're never guessing.

Install once, not every month

Usage-billing and metering software bills you every month for meters you can stand up yourself. If you've been pricing it, this is the install-it-once alternative: an automation kit, blueprint, and workflow template you set up once and keep. Add it to your cart, open it in Claude Cowork, and find out what you haven't been charging for.
