Lago is best for tech-savvy small businesses that need flexible, usage-based billing and have a developer on staff to set it up. The self-hosted version is completely free, which is a huge win if you can manage it yourself — but if you need the managed cloud version, pricing is unclear and likely expensive. Most small businesses without technical resources will find it too complex to get running.
