Suddenly, your clean app is tangled up in:

• Nested entitlement logic

• Stripe event handling spaghetti

• Manual syncs between billing, auth, and product

• “Just one more webhook” that never ends

Sound familiar?

Why Do Teams DIY Monetization in the First Place?

Because at the start, it seems easy.

“We just need to check if a user is on a paid plan.”

But plans change. Products grow. And what started as a flag in the database becomes a full-blown tangle of:

• Custom code for managing user roles and access

• Manual feature toggles and usage checks

• Stripe rate limits and webhook retries

• Spreadsheets to track what’s live

Monetization is a product — and most teams treat it like a side effect.

The Real Cost of Building Monetization In-House

Let’s be real: engineering time is expensive.

Every hour spent debugging access issues is time not spent shipping core features. Every deployment to fix a new billing edge case slows your roadmap. And every “just patch it” decision compounds tech debt.

Worse? If your monetization logic fails, your revenue takes the hit. Not your test coverage.

What if You Could Just Plug It In?

At Monetization.dev, we believe billing, access, and entitlement logic should be infrastructure, not a burden.

We handle the complexity so you can:

• Sync your products from Stripe

• Define who gets access to what

• Validate entitlements in a single API call

• Stop worrying about rate limits, retries, or webhook order

No more DIY logic. No more custom gating. Just revenue features that work — out of the box.
