Ask HN: Stripe subscription vs. chargebee? What to choose and why?

7 points by zaphodq42 4 years ago | 1 comment

Hey everyone, I want to integrate subscription payments in my app. We are bootstrapped and around 10K MRR. What should we integrate for subscription payments?

2 popular options are stripe subscriptions and charge bee.

Stripe subscriptions API looks fairly simple to add. Should I just go ahead with that?

Also considering Stripe for my modest needs and have used it at day jobs. My biggest concern is entrenching them further. Competition is good. And being too reliant on one processor is bad, especially once a business gets into millions per year.

Still decoupling recurring subscriptions from the payment processor, or at least supporting more than one, is a challenge.
