Review Stripe?

Makers consistently praise Stripe’s developer-first approach and reliability. The makers of

Mixpanel

highlight how flexible billing and tiered pricing updates are simple to implement. The makers of

Daily.co

note long-term stability after a decade of use. The makers of

Icons8

rely on Stripe for subscriptions and billing. Broader reviewers commend clear docs, global coverage, and an intuitive dashboard, while noting first-time integration and webhooks can be tricky, support can be slow, and chargeback handling/fees can sting. Overall sentiment is strongly positive for startups and SaaS.

What's great

Stripe is the gold standard for payment infrastructure. The API is clean, well-documented, and a joy to integrate — whether you're setting up one-time payments, subscriptions, or complex billing logic. The dashboard gives you clear visibility into revenue, customers, and payouts without needing to dig through spreadsheets.

What needs improvement

Initial account setup and verification can feel slow, and customer support response times could be faster when issues arise.

vs Alternatives

Developer-friendly API, excellent docs, reliable uptime, and support for global payments out of the box. Webhooks make subscription lifecycle management practically hands-off.

I use Stripe to handle subscriptions and payments for MintyEmailTester.com, and it's been incredibly smooth for a solo founder building their first SaaS. What I love: Developer-friendly integration - their Python library made setup straightforward Reliable payment processing - transactions go through without issues Excellent webhook system - handles subscription lifecycle automatically Clear documentation - examples are practical and easy to follow Transparent pricing - no hidden fees, just straightforward percentage per transaction Why Stripe works for my SaaS: Setting up monthly subscriptions with cancellation handling was surprisingly simple. The webhook events let me automatically manage user access when payments succeed or fail. Their test mode made development easy - could test the entire payment flow before going live. Perfect for: Solo developers who need professional payment processing without dealing with merchant accounts and banking complexity. Bottom line: Stripe handles all the payment complexity so I can focus on building my product. Essential for any SaaS that needs subscription billing.
