About Orb
Orb is the modern pricing platform that gives businesses the ability to bill for seats, consumption, and everything in between. We are on a mission to provide every business with the infrastructure to unlock their revenue.
To date, we’ve powered billing and invoicing for high-growth companies like Airbyte, Materialize, and Dune Analytics, saving them $500k+/year in engineering costs and accelerated their product launches. With Orb’s developer-extensible approach, our customers are able to automate billing, and still have the flexibility to experiment with pricing.
Our product supports the end-to-end workflow for revenue, helping teams across Product, Eng, Finance, and RevOps achieve their goals faster.
“A billing vendor is just one piece of the puzzle in terms of finance operations, and without a flexible and innovative solution, it can be hard to move forward and complete projects. Using Orb has helped us reach our finance OKRs faster by allowing us to stay flexible and building out many of the features we need.”
