MeterLock vs Orbi
Facts from each product's IndieNeed listing, side by side.
MeterLock gives AI agents and unattended runs a finite wallet. Set a budget and expiry for one run, hand the agent a scoped MeterLock key, and MeterLock reserves spend before forwarding requests. When the authorised wallet can’t cover another request, generation is blocked. Pause, resume or permanently revoke the wallet at any time. The current developer alpha runs locally and supports OpenAI.
Orbi is an open-source (AGPL-3.0) AI coding agent that works from GitHub issues. Label an issue ai-ready and it writes the change in an isolated worktree, opens a pull request, has a separate review session check it against the issue's acceptance criteria, merges only what passed review, and cuts a tagged release.
