anyone using GetCheddar for usage-based billing?

I'm working on a B2C software offering where billing is heavily usage-based (because i'm unifying a bunch of APIs together in my software that I still get billed for).
Here's what's making me interested in GetCheddar when compared to Paddle and Recurly:

  • Usage-based approach first: you have to report to cheddar how much your users are consuming (and you can query it back to show to the user), which is nice given everyone has different billing dates.
  • Users can upgrade/downgrade plans through the hosted pages. Paddle and Recurly don't support that.
  • Looks like you can create multiple products, and hence multiple webhook endpoints ? Neither paddle nor recurly support that.

Doing a few searches on IH it looks like Paddle is the most popular solution. Paddle gets a few mentions. Cheddar, not so much, so I thought i'd proactively look for some feedback.
