About Moesif
Moesif is a commercial platform for understanding and monetizing API usage. It records how customers call an API, turns that into analytics and monitoring, and supports billing based on that usage. The vendor has been acquired by WSO2 and says it will operate as an independent subsidiary.
Its observability side includes API analytics, logs and metrics, monitoring and alerts, custom dashboards and OpenTelemetry trace analysis. The monetization side includes usage-based billing, a product catalog for plans and pricing, quotas and governance, and prepaid credits and balances. Customer experience tools cover embedded metrics, behavioral emails and cohorts, and a developer portal. Compliance options such as GDPR and HIPAA-friendly analytics are mentioned. Moesif is proprietary and vendor-hosted. A free start and a demo are offered, and the vendor publishes a pricing page, developer docs and integration quickstarts.
