Stripe alternative
A more flexible alternative to Stripe
Because one subscription and recurring payment strategy doesn't fit all.
The flexibility to use the payment gateway of your choice, or even multiple payment gateways alone, makes Recurly worth the investment. The savings in processing fees vs. Stripe more than covers the difference in cost.

We needed flexible payment models, and not all the platforms had that. We needed a platform with an intuitive and easy-to-use API. It was also really important that the platform offers an exceptional user experience, both for customers and our staff.
