The pricing you sell. The usage you bill. Finally connected.
Turn usage into revenue with metering that understands your deals. Nue connects CPQ, metering and billing, so negotiated prices, discounts and commitments automatically govern what customers pay.
Nue CPQ
Custom prices. Discounts. Commitments.
Nue Metering
Usage rated at each customer’s terms.
Nue Billing
Accurate charges. One invoice.
The cost of disconnected systems
Stop losing revenue between the quote and the invoice.
When separate systems each hold the deal terms, they drift apart. A discount agreed in CPQ has to reach the meter; an amendment has to reach billing. Every copy is another place for a term to go missing, and drift costs money both ways.
Under-billing
Revenue you never collect
Unbilled overages, missed tier changes and amendments that never reach billing. Customers rarely report being undercharged, so it stays lost.
Revenue you give back
Credits and disputes when an invoice runs high, and trust you lose at renewal.
3–5%
of revenue leaks between the deal and the cash, in MGI Research’s study of enterprises across industries.
MGI names errors moving deals from quote to contract, and integration gaps between contract and cash.
What drift looks like
The customer passes their commitment. The overage never bills.
The deal is re-created in a metering tool after close. One term doesn’t make it across.
The signed quote
- Annual commitment20M calls
- Committed rate$1.00 per 1K calls
- Overage above the commitment$1.25 per 1K calls
The metering tool
- Annual commitment20M calls
- Committed rate$1.00 per 1K calls
- Overage above the commitmentNever entered
The customer uses 24M calls. The 4M over the commitment, $5,000 at the overage rate, is never invoiced, and nobody disputes an invoice that is too low.
With Nue there is one copy of the deal. The meter reads the same terms Sales closed.
One complete monetization system
CPQ, metering and billing, working together natively
The prices, discounts and commitments you agree with a customer flow directly into usage charges and invoices.

One shared pricing enginePrices · Discounts · Commitments · Tiers · Amendments
01
Configure pricing once
Customer-specific terms govern quoting, usage rating and billing without recreating commercial logic.
02
Remove the integration burden
Eliminate much of the synchronization and maintenance needed to connect separate monetization systems.
03
Keep costs down and revenue accurate
Reduce overlapping software fees, manual reconciliation and missed charges.
From quote to usage, automatically
What if your CPQ programmed your metering system?
With Nue, it does. The commercial terms configured in Nue CPQ directly govern usage rating, with no need to rebuild each customer’s pricing inside a separate metering platform.

Built for consumption businesses
See usage, balances and overage as they happen
Know when customers are running low on credits. Keep usage, seats and services on the same contract, and turn consumption into timely expansion conversations.
- <10 secFrom a usage event to an updated credit balance
- 25.9B+Usage events processed each month
- 10K / secUsage events per second, per business*
Contract changes handled
Usage before an amendment’s effective date uses the original terms. Usage after it uses the amended terms, including applicable proration.
One contract, every model
Combine consumption, seat subscriptions and services with shared credits and commitments.
Late and external usage included
Apply the terms in force when usage occurred. Bring third-party usage, including AWS, onto the same customer invoice.
Outcomes
What changes for every team that touches revenue
Each outcome removes a cost that existed only because the deal lived in more than one system.
RevOps and billing
Faster, cleaner close
Usage bills correctly with no second system to set up or sync
Finance
Less revenue leakage
Rated usage, credit balances, overage and invoice lines match what was sold
Pricing
Faster time to market
New tiers and models go live without an engineering ticket
Account teams
Expansion conversations earlier
Live balances show which customers are running low or tipping into overage
Lower total cost of ownership
Fewer systems. Less overhead. More revenue kept.
Combining CPQ, metering and billing removes major sources of cost in a stitched-together stack.
- 01
Stop paying for overlapping capabilities
Consolidate pricing, rating and billing infrastructure instead of licensing it across multiple platforms.
- 02
Spend less connecting your systems
Reduce custom integrations, implementation work and the maintenance needed to keep commercial terms aligned.
- 03
Reduce the cost of getting billing right
Less manual reconciliation. Fewer invoice corrections. Lower risk of missed charges and revenue leakage.
Developer-first adoption
Start with usage. Bring the rest when you’re ready.
Keep your existing CPQ and adopt Nue Metering independently. When you add Nue CPQ, negotiated terms flow natively into metering and billing.

Questions, answered
A simpler path to usage revenue
Do we have to replace our CPQ?
- No. Nue Metering runs on the Nue pricing engine, so you can adopt it alongside another CPQ and move quoting later. With Nue CPQ, pricing, discounts, custom terms and usage logic connect natively, removing much of the integration and synchronization separate systems need.
What is the difference between metering and rating?
- Metering records and measures consumption, such as API calls or tokens. Rating applies pricing to that measured usage to calculate a charge. Nue connects both to the commercial agreement, so customer-specific rates, tiers and discounts determine the bill.
What happens when a customer changes their contract?
- Nue applies the relevant terms by effective date. Usage before a change is rated under the earlier agreement; usage after it follows the amended terms.
Can Nue handle our usage volume?
- Nue processes more than 25.9 billion usage events a month, at up to 10,000 events per second per business. Size against peak usage, not the monthly total.
What about late usage and AWS charges?
- Late usage bills at the terms in force when it happened, well past the 33-day window most metering tools allow. Third-party usage such as AWS lands against the same customer and invoice as the usage Nue meters directly.
