Yes. Metering, pricing, invoicing and the audit trail are in the core with no event or customer caps and no phone-home. Cloud adds managed operations, spike control, the dispute agent and prebuilt connectors.
In ABAXUS Cloud: your events are sent to the ABAXUS-operated service, which runs the metering pipeline, the agent and your ledger for you. If usage data must stay inside your own environment, run the Core self-hosted instead.
Any customer_id with at least one active subscription in a given month. Test customers and internal environments do not count against the limit.
You keep running the core. Your ledger, meters, plans and invoice history stay in your database. You lose managed operations and the Cloud-only features.
Yes, on Growth and Scale. Migration includes a parallel run to validate parity before cutover, event schema mapping, historical data import and cutover planning.
Early adopters get 65% off Cloud Growth, locked for life. Book an architecture review; if the technical fit is there and both sides agree, early adopter terms apply from day one.
We will say so on the call. Common reasons: under 5 engineers, simple flat subscriptions with no usage component, or a need for payment processing rather than billing logic.
