What is Stigg?
Stigg moves its entitlements and credit checks inside agent orchestrators and gateways.
Stigg now runs inside agent orchestration layers, applying entitlements, credits and budgets to each step of an agent run, and its Agent SDK supports solo.io and agentgateway out of the box. It also lets customers bill subscriptions through Airwallex invoices and payment links. This lands a day after new pricing with a free plan and monthly billing, and three days after Usage Governance went GA.
What is Kolleno?
Kolleno is stretching from collections software toward the whole cash cycle.
Kolleno ships a bundled monthly update for finance and accounts-receivable teams. Since the June rebuild of its AI Task Manager, most releases have refined that hub, while the newest update adds automated payment matching, AP portal tracking and early-access cash flow forecasting.
Stigg vs Kolleno: editorial side-by-side
Stigg
7.5FINANCE
Stigg moves its entitlements and credit checks inside agent orchestrators and gateways.
◆ Current state
Stigg now runs inside agent orchestration layers, applying entitlements, credits and budgets to each step of an agent run, and its Agent SDK supports solo.io and agentgateway out of the box. It also lets customers bill subscriptions through Airwallex invoices and payment links. This lands a day after new pricing with a free plan and monthly billing, and three days after Usage Governance went GA.
◆ Where it's heading
Stigg is placing its billing engine at the points where AI agents spend money: the orchestrator, the gateway and credit reservation before each operation. Billing-backend breadth, now Airwallex invoicing, keeps pace in the background.
◆ Prediction
Expect more gateway and orchestrator integrations in the Agent SDK and its move out of beta. Billing backends will likely keep widening around Airwallex and its peers.
Kolleno
6.3FINANCE
Kolleno is stretching from collections software toward the whole cash cycle.
◆ Current state
Kolleno ships a bundled monthly update for finance and accounts-receivable teams. Since the June rebuild of its AI Task Manager, most releases have refined that hub, while the newest update adds automated payment matching, AP portal tracking and early-access cash flow forecasting.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving outward from chasing invoices into reconciliation and forecasting, the adjacent jobs a finance team does with the same data. The Task Manager remains the operational center, with each release adding controls, notifications and e-signature forms around it.
◆ Prediction
Cash flow forecasting is in early access, so the next updates will likely broaden it toward general availability and connect it to the payment-matching data shipped alongside it.
