Stripe Billing adds subscriptions, invoicing, proration and smart dunning on top of Stripe payments with a developer-first API. It is powerful and reliable, but ties you to Stripe as the processor and can feel rigid for non-technical teams.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Powerful, reliable billing tightly integrated with Stripe payments
- Developer-friendly APIs and fast setup for existing Stripe users
Cons
- – Limited flexibility and customization outside the Stripe ecosystem
- – Percentage-based fees add up as billing volume grows
