Stripe Billing named a Leader

See why Stripe was named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Recurring Billing Applications.

We chose Stripe because of the range of pricing model options, their ability to move fast, and their high bar for excellence. Usage-based pricing can be complex, but Stripe makes our systems much simpler.

Darragh Curran, CTO, Intercom
 

Stripe makes us more efficient with everything in one place, and we don’t have to worry about incomplete data flowing between systems. We get a complete picture of the customer with automated reporting and accurate data.

Luke Franklin, Controller, Retool
 

Stripe’s new usage-based billing has been a great upgrade for us. Stripe turns a complex process into something we hardly have to think about. We know that we can grow and that Stripe will scale right along with us.

Jeff Dwyer, Founder and Engineer, Prefab
 

Stripe’s usage-based billing gives us the flexibility to keep up with customer needs. We’re able to focus on delivering the best experience for our users, and we can count on Stripe to handle the rest.
