What is Portcall

Portcall gives you a single system for billing and feature access control.

Core objects

• User: the customer in your app.
• Feature: a capability (metered or unmetered).
• Plan: the commercial offer.
• PlanFeature: a feature assignment on a plan with interval/quota.
• Subscription: a user's active commercial contract.
• Entitlement: runtime access state (enabled, usage, quota).
• Invoice: billing output generated from subscriptions and usage.
