Metered billing for AI products
Bill by tokens, compute, API calls, or any custom metric. Built for the scale and complexity of AI workloads with real-time metering and credit systems.
Purpose-Built for the Saudi AI Ecosystem
Saudi Arabia is investing $100B+ in AI through SDAIA and Vision 2030. Tirdad provides the billing infrastructure these initiatives need — built locally, compliant by default.
SDAIA & National AI Strategy
Support AI workloads aligned with the Saudi Data & AI Authority roadmap. Meter generative AI, computer vision, and NLP models with full data residency in the Kingdom.
Vision 2030 Digital Transformation
Power billing for smart city platforms, healthcare AI, and government automation projects. ZATCA-compliant invoicing and SAR-denominated billing built in.
Regional AI Startups & Scale-ups
From Riyadh to NEOM, Saudi AI companies need usage-based billing that understands token economics. Tirdad handles millions of events per second with sub-millisecond latency.
Arabic-First AI Products
Bill Arabic NLP models, Arabic OCR services, and multilingual AI platforms. Native RTL support and Arabic billing portals ensure seamless customer experiences.
AI billing is different
Traditional subscription billing doesn't work when every customer's usage is unique and unpredictable.
Unpredictable Usage Patterns
AI workloads are bursty—a single customer can go from zero to millions of tokens in minutes. Traditional billing can't keep up with real-time ingestion at this scale.
Multi-Metric Pricing
Customers consume tokens, compute time, API calls, and storage simultaneously. You need to meter and bill across all dimensions, not just one.
Credit & Prepaid Models
AI products need prepaid credit systems with real-time balance tracking, automatic top-ups, and graceful handling when credits run out.
Built for usage-based complexity
Tirdad's event-driven architecture is built from the ground up for high-volume metering.
Token-Based Billing
Meter by tokens, compute time, or API calls with sub-second precision. Kafka-backed ingestion handles burst traffic without dropping events.
Real-Time Metering
Process millions of events daily with live usage tracking. ClickHouse aggregation gives you instant visibility into consumption patterns.
Credit Systems
Prepaid credits and wallets with expiration, top-ups, and automatic deduction. Grant credits by time period, plan tier, or promotional campaigns.
Usage Breakdown
Group and filter usage by any event property—model, customer, region, or custom dimensions. Understand exactly where resources are consumed.
