SubscribeStar vs. Substack Comparison Chart

The first scalable monetization platform, for the modern billing stack. Eliminate risk, retain focus, and power more pricing and packaging options with less code. A monetization platform is a standalone middleware that sits between your application and your business applications, as part of the modern enterprise billing stack. Stigg unifies all the APIs and abstractions billing and platform engineers had to build and maintain in-house otherwise. Acting as your centralized source of truth, with a highly scalable and flexible entitlements management, rolling out any pricing and packaging change is now a self-service, risk-free, exercise. Stigg gives engineers fine-grained control over what can be packaged and priced separately. You can set limits and govern your customers’ commercial permissions at the feature level, abstracting away complex billing concepts from your code. Entitlements are the modern way to software monetization and truly flexible hybrid pricing.
