Stigg | SaaS Monetization and Entitlements API

For developers in need of a tool to launch pricing plans faster and build better buying experiences

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.

User Reviews

  • Unclear how to install in Kubuntu 25.05. Support stinks for open source software.
  • Saves me from using vim on Linux. Lots of versatility with Rexx/Regina macro language. Been using for over 25 years.
  • Coming from XEdit/REXX background (IBM VM/CMS) via KEdit/PersonalREXX (DOS, Win) (Mansfield Software group) to THE and Regina REXX. Still one of the best editors around. The only thing missing, though not trivial to implement I fear, is unicode support. I prefer the old CUI TUI text mode interface.
  • Same reasons. I used Xedit for years and am familiar with this territory in THE. Now I write .the macros all the time.
  • The product is great for us mainframe users who have use Xedit for many years. I don't understand the guy that gave it a 'thumbs down' because it was stated that it is "OS Independent". This is delivered in source. How much more "OS Independent" can you get???
