  60radar

  RevenueCatSubscription billing infra — unified app and web subscriptions

  Web subscriptions can now use percentage discounts, promo codes, and win-back offers. Useful for churn recovery and price testing without wiring discount logic yourself.

  • —Percentage-off discounts and promo codes now apply to RevenueCat web subscribers, reducing custom billing work.
  • —Win-back offers target cancelled or lapsed users. That gives churn recovery a built-in path instead of ad hoc email-only campaigns.
  • —The scope is web billing, not App Store pricing. Best fit is a paid web checkout where discount tests can move quickly.

  Stripe Link CLIPayment CLI — one-time credentials from a Link wallet

  Agents can receive one-time payment credentials from a Link wallet without storing raw card data. Useful for agentic commerce experiments; production value depends on merchant support.

  • —Issues one-time credentials from a Link wallet, so agents can complete purchases without keeping actual card details.
  • —Supports two credential types: broadly usable virtual card PAN and an S... option based on Machine Payment Protocols.
  • —This is payment infrastructure, not just automation. It opens tests for delegated checkout, procurement bots, and agent-run SaaS workflows.

  80radar

  AI GatewayAI routing service — failover across model providers

  Routing can now optimize on price, first-token latency, or throughput at request time instead of Vercel's blended default. Useful when one model has many providers and the cheapest or fastest route materially changes margin or UX.

  • —Set sort on providerOptions.gateway to 'cost', 'ttft', or 'tps' depending on whether margin, snappiness, or long-output speed matters most.
  • —Ranking is computed at request time, so newly added providers, price changes, and observed latency shifts flow through without code changes.
  • —Fallback is strict: providers are attempted in sorted order, and the next one is used only if the higher-ranked provider is unavailable.
  • —sort works with Zero Data Retention filtering and with order; pinned providers stay first, then the rest follow the chosen ranking.
  • —Each response exposes routing metadata with a sort block showing candidates, metric values, attempt order, and health-based deprioritization for debugging.
