Cheddar's current site offers a free sandbox, self-service signup, API documentation, and introductory calls. These entry points address developers implementing subscription and usage billing, while published examples show customer creation, usage updates, and billing-status checks.
The support model expands from documentation and email to chat, phone assistance, pricing consultancy, and migration consulting on the Growth plan. Its pricing page describes API interaction allowances, automated overage calculation, customer email templates, and reporting of recurring revenue, churn, and lifetime value.

Cheddar's homepage lists a $99 monthly platform fee and a 30-cent transaction charge. Its Builder plan emphasizes email support, documentation, and connections to multiple payment gateways, while self-service signup provides an entry point for developers.
The Growth plan lists $599 per month plus 0.5% of revenue and includes chat and phone support, pricing and migration consultancy, and real-time webhook integrations. The pricing page also advertises an early-stage program waiving the $99 monthly fee for the first 1,000 transactions for qualifying companies.

Cheddar records customer usage in tracked-item counters and applies interchangeable pricing plans when an invoice becomes due. The platform then processes the invoice through its built-in credit-card processing or sends it to an external system.
Recurring billing repeats this workflow automatically, with customer communications, revenue optimization, and SaaS reporting running alongside it. The API separates activity tracking from pricing rules so application code can report usage while billing settings determine charges.
