Smarter Automation

Smarter Automation is a boutique Stripe Verified Partner specializing exclusively in billing infrastructure for AI SaaS companies.

We are one of the only Stripe partners focused specifically on the monetization challenges facing AI product founders: token-based metered billing, LLM cost markup automation, hybrid subscription models, and usage-based pricing that scales with how your product actually delivers value.

What We Do

We help AI SaaS founders move beyond flat subscriptions and manual billing workarounds to production-ready Stripe billing infrastructure.

Our services span the full lifecycle: from pricing strategy and billing architecture consulting, through to full hands-on implementation, testing, and go-live support.

Our implementation work covers: metered billing for token or API call consumption; automated markup over LLM provider costs (Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and others); hybrid flat-fee plus usage overage models; graduated and tiered rate cards; prepaid credit pool systems; Stripe webhook and dunning automation; customer portal configuration; and Stripe Tax setup for SaaS businesses.

We also help actually build AI SaaS platforms including frontend sites, marketing funnels and backend webapps and provide general automation, AI, marketing and development support.

Who We Serve

We work primarily with early-stage and growth-stage AI SaaS companies who need their billing done right the first time and understand that the wrong billing architecture now means a painful migration later.

We also serve the automation, AI and developmental needs of other online businesses big and small to help them scale gracefully with less manpower and overhead.

Who We Are

Smarter Automation is operated by the principals of Frontspace, a digital agency founded in 2013. Our two founders bring a combined 52 years of online business experience, including building and selling AI-driven SaaS products.

We hold Stripe Professional Developer and Stripe Professional Implementation Architect certifications and are a Stripe Verified Partner. We build on Anthropic Claude and Google Gemini, providers whose safety commitments we stand behind.

We offer Billing Audit & Strategy, Full Metered Billing Implementation, Full AI Billing Stack projects, monthly advisory retainers, and many other service packages and ad hoc services by retainer for ongoing support.
