Campfire + Orb

Overview

Orb is the usage-based billing platform purpose-built for software companies with consumption-based pricing models. Used by AI infrastructure companies and developer tools, Orb handles the complex metering, rating, and invoicing that usage-based revenue requires — from simple per-API-call pricing to sophisticated tiered and commitment structures.

Why connect Campfire + Orb

Usage revenue recognized automatically

Orb usage events and invoices sync to Campfire and trigger revenue recognition entries. Consumption-based revenue recognized in the period it's earned — no manual calculation of what to recognize each month.

Complex billing models handled correctly

Orb supports flat, per-unit, tiered, volume, and commitment pricing. Campfire maps each billing model to the correct revenue treatment — usage-based revenue accounted for accurately regardless of pricing complexity.

Billing and books aligned

When Orb generates an invoice, Campfire records the revenue entry. When Orb processes a payment, Campfire clears the receivable. Billing and general ledger always in sync — no reconciliation required.

How It Works

1. Orb meters usage, applies your pricing model, and generates invoices for each billing period.
2. Usage data and invoices sync to Campfire, which creates revenue recognition entries based on your recognition schedule and pricing structure.
3. Your finance team reviews usage revenue entries in Campfire — consumption-based revenue accounted for accurately without manual journal entries.
