Earlier quoted context omitted.

As of today, Kable relies on our payment partners to calculate tax. If you connect your Stripe account to Kable, you can enable automatic tax calculation in your Stripe dashboard, and invoices generated by Kable will be taxed by Stripe. As we add other payment partners, we will follow the same pattern. In the future, though, we do plan to add the option to calculate taxes directly within Kable.

I see. Stripe actually does not help with taxes at all. All the work is left for users to figure out, configure and file.

Ahh, are you talking about the actual setup of tax codes in Stripe?

> Our pricing is pay-as-you-go based on the volume of events we store and the revenue we help our customers generate. That means we get to dogfood our own software for usage-based billing!

So what is your pricing? The website says "starting at $200 / month", but before I go to sign up and try to integrate, I'd like to be able to estimate if it'd be $200/mo for my company or $2,000/mo.

P.S.: I signed up, even got to a notice that tells me I can't go live without entering credit card details - but still no details on pricing.

P.P.S.: Sorry that it reads like a negative comment. I think it's great and I might actually end up using it, but not before I know if it fits our budget (and if it's worth my time).

Sorry about that! Site should be updated now, would love to hear your feedback

Mobile menu link still goes to the name-email-wall page.

Footer works. Thanks

What happens if Kable service is down for some reason?

Great question. Our libraries are set up to handle Kable failures.

When a library request to Kable's server fails, dropped events will be logged as JSON for later processing. The Kable API is designed to handle backfilling of events, so if Kable ever goes down, we'll help you catch up on events that weren't recorded in real-time.
