Services · Ecommerce development · AI platform subscription sites
Codeeo handles AI platform subscription website development Dubai companies use to sell access to their models, APIs and AI workspaces. We build the pricing pages, sign up, checkout, recurring billing, usage metering, VAT invoices and the self-serve account area where customers change plans, add seats and download receipts. AI products cost money every time someone runs a prompt, so the billing has to know who used what, charge for it fairly and stop runaway usage before it eats your margin.
This page is about the commercial side of your platform: how customers find a plan, pay, renew, upgrade and leave. The product itself, its models and its interface stay yours; we connect the money to them so finance, product and support all read the same numbers.

What the subscription platform includes
A typical software subscription charges a flat fee per seat and forgets about it until renewal. AI platforms rarely work that way. One customer sends a handful of requests a month, another runs a batch job overnight that consumes more compute than your whole free tier combined. Your pricing usually mixes a base plan, included usage and paid overage, sometimes with prepaid credit packs on top. The website has to explain that clearly, the checkout has to collect the right commitment, and the billing engine has to read usage from your platform and turn it into correct invoices. In Dubai there is a further layer: VAT on every tax invoice, Arabic and English for some buyers, card schemes and wallets your customers expect, and the UAE move towards structured e-invoicing. Getting any of these wrong shows up quickly as disputed charges or unpaid compute. The parts below are what we usually build, ordered in the way a new customer meets them.
Plan comparison tables showing included credits, tokens, requests or seats, what overage costs per unit, and which models or features sit on which tier. A usage estimator lets a buyer enter expected volume and see which plan fits, so sales calls start with an informed customer instead of a confused one.
Fewer buyers picking the wrong plan and churning a month later.
Your API or application reports usage events to the billing layer: tokens processed, images generated, minutes transcribed or jobs completed. We aggregate them per customer and per billing period, deduplicate retries, and keep a raw event log so any invoice line can be traced back to the requests behind it.
Invoices you can defend line by line when a customer queries a charge.
Customers set a monthly spending limit, receive alerts at thresholds they choose, and see live consumption in their dashboard. Your platform can soft block, throttle or switch to a cheaper model when a cap is reached, depending on the rules you define for each plan.
No surprise bills for customers and no unpaid compute for you.
Monthly and annual plans, mid-cycle upgrades charged pro rata, downgrades applied at renewal, seat additions billed for the remaining days, and credit packs that expire or roll over by your policy. Every change produces a clear invoice or credit note rather than a silent adjustment.
Plan changes customers can make themselves without emailing finance.
Card checkout through a gateway that supports recurring charges for UAE businesses, with Apple Pay for individual subscribers, 3D Secure where the issuer requires it, and saved cards for renewals. For annual consumer plans, Tabby or Tamara can be offered where the provider accepts your category.
A checkout that works for UAE cards and for overseas buyers alike.
Smart retry schedules, reminder emails in the customer's language, an update card link that does not require a login, and a grace period before access is reduced. You decide whether API keys keep working during that period or fall back to a limited tier.
Revenue recovered from expired cards instead of quietly lost.
Tax invoices carrying your TRN and the details the Federal Tax Authority expects, credit notes for refunds, and treatment for business customers outside the UAE agreed with your tax adviser. Invoice data is structured so it can pass to the accredited provider you appoint under the UAE e-invoicing programme.
Finance closes the month from the billing data, not a spreadsheet.
An account area where the billing owner changes plan, adds or removes seats, assigns roles, rotates API keys, downloads invoices and updates company details for invoices. Optional UAE Pass sign in can verify a named administrator for government or regulated buyers.
Support tickets about invoices and seats drop sharply.
Committed annual contracts, purchase order numbers, bank transfer payment terms and custom rate cards for large accounts, held in the same billing system as self-serve customers. Sales can issue a quote that converts into a subscription without anyone rekeying figures.
One revenue record for card customers and contract customers.
Monthly recurring revenue, usage revenue, churn, failed payments and deferred revenue on annual plans, reported from the billing records rather than rebuilt by hand. Invoices, payments and credit notes sync to your accounting system, whether that is Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books, Odoo or Business Central, with VAT coded the way your accountant expects.
Board reports and VAT returns built from one consistent source.
Who this is for
Dubai has become a base for AI businesses of very different shapes, from founders working out of Dubai Internet City to teams inside the DIFC innovation community and established software houses adding an AI product line. What they share is a product with real running costs and a billing setup that has not kept up. Some arrive asking for AI platform SaaS website development Dubai investors can see working at a demo day; others need serious AI platform subscription platform development Dubai finance teams can audit. Here is where each one usually starts, and what we build first.
You have users on a waitlist or a free beta and need to start charging without building a finance department. We set up a small number of plans, one payment provider, usage metering for the single metric that drives your costs, and a clean upgrade path. Anything more complex, such as credit packs or enterprise contracts, is planned now but switched on later, once real usage shows which customers would actually pay for them.
Simple pricing at launch, room to grow.
Your first customers pay by bank transfer against invoices someone builds every month from a usage export. It worked for ten accounts and is breaking at fifty. We move existing customers to automated billing, import their history, and keep their contract terms so nobody is surprised by a new price on the first automated invoice. Old invoices stay downloadable from the new account area.
Individual users want Apple Pay, Arabic receipts, monthly plans they can cancel themselves and clear refund rules under UAE consumer protection expectations. We build a fast mobile web checkout, a self-cancellation flow that meets those expectations, and reminders before annual renewals so disputes stay rare.
Banks, developers, retailers and semi-government entities in Dubai buy through procurement, not a credit card. They need quotes, purchase orders, named administrators, annual invoices and data processing terms. We put those flows on the same platform as your self-serve plans, so a team can start small online and expand into a contract later.
How we work together
Most AI companies start with a fixed scope build covering pricing pages, checkout, metering and invoicing for the plans they sell today. Billing rarely stays still after launch, because pricing experiments and new models arrive every quarter, so many clients keep us on a retainer to add plans, adjust limits and maintain integrations. Platforms with a heavy product roadmap sometimes take a dedicated team that works inside their own repository and sprint rhythm. Whichever model you choose, the code, accounts and documentation stay in your name, and a written handover lets an in-house engineer take over billing changes whenever you are ready.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Usually a Next.js front end, a billing engine such as Stripe Billing or a gateway with recurring support for UAE merchants, and a metering service close to your API. The final stack depends on your gateway approval, your existing codebase and who maintains it. Usage events travel through a queue so a billing outage never slows your API, and every webhook from the payment provider is verified and logged.

It depends mostly on pricing complexity and how many customers must be migrated.
A platform with a few flat plans and one usage metric moves quickly. Credit packs, enterprise contracts, multiple currencies and a large base of existing customers on manual invoices all add design and testing time. Payment provider approval for recurring charges can also set the pace. We agree the schedule after the discovery workshop, once those factors are written down, and we share it before design starts.
