UniSub v2 Is Now Live: The Easiest Way to Accept Fully Automated, Flexible Crypto Subscriptions

Most crypto billing platforms still support only fixed recurring plans, where customers are charged the same amount every cycle. That structure may work for basic digital products, but it falls short for businesses billing by usage, seat count, or microtransactions. 

On top of that, most crypto billing systems still require manual payment approval from the user each time, breaking automation and leading to churn.

That’s why we built UniSub V2 to address both these gaps. Our new version brings fully automated, flexible crypto billing, with a single approval, and no repeated confirmations.

What’s New in UniSub v2

While the original version of UniSub supported charging fixed subscriptions only, UniSub v2 enables flexible billing structures such as:

  • Usage-based pricing: Charges vary based on API calls, data used, or in-app activity
  • Per-seat billing: Charges increase or decrease depending on team size
  • Dynamic monthly rates: The subscription total can change from one cycle to the next

How it Works

The setup is simple. Here’s what the flow looks like for you and your customers.

  1. The customer connects their wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect)

  1. They approve the subscription once by signing a smart contract

  1. After that, billing is automated based on the plan’s logic (usage, seat, variable, or fixed). There are no repeated approvals or prompts. 

Payments are processed directly from the customer’s wallet to the merchant, across any supported network.

Merchants can track subscriptions, adjust plans, and monitor activity from the UniSub dashboard or through the API. UniSub v2 is compatible with all major blockchains.

Built-In Safeguards for User Trust

UniSub v2 includes built-in user protection features that protect users without interrupting automation:

  1. Monthly Spending Caps:Customers can set a maximum limit for each subscription. Charges won’t exceed this threshold, no matter how usage scales.
  2. Smart Escrow by Default: Payments are held in a smart contract for 7 days before being released to the merchant. This delay gives users time to review charges or raise a dispute if needed.
  3. Transparent Authorization:Users approve the billing contract once, with clear terms shown upfront. No hidden re-authorizations or silent charges.

These features are active by default and can be configured to fit the product type. They’re designed to give users confidence, especially in products where usage may vary over time.

Who UniSub v2 is Built For

UniSub v2 is built for businesses that need more than just a flat monthly charge. If your pricing depends on usage, team size, or high-frequency transactions, fixed crypto billing through UniSub v1 can’t help out. UniSub v2 is the best fit for:

  • AI Tools & Data Platforms:Charge based on tokens used, queries made, or compute consumption.
  • SaaS Products:Bill per seat, with automated adjustments as teams grow or shrink.
  • Gaming Platforms:Handle in-game purchases and microtransactions without requiring users to approve each one.
  • VPNs, Streaming Services, and Digital Tools:Offer monthly subscriptions in crypto, with optional usage-based add-ons.
  • Charity & Creator Platforms:Enable recurring crypto contributions with adjustable frequency and amount, ideal for monthly giving or membership-style pledges.

Each of these models can run entirely on-chain, without compromising user experience or billing reliability.

How UniSub v2 Improves Business Growth Metrics

With fully automated flexible billing through UniSub v2, merchants can now:

  • Convert more users by removing the second-step drop-off
  • Retain subscribers longer with frictionless renewals
  • Charge more accurately based on actual usage or behavior
  • Offer pricing that adapts to customers, without giving up control

This brings crypto billing in line with what fast-scaling SaaS and digital products already expect from traditional systems, but now, with transparency, user safeguards, and on-chain control built in.
