Tell HN: The True Cost of Stripe

5 points

4 years ago

As a founder, I've grown tired of Stripe - claiming to have a clear and transparent pricing, - while I've never known exactly how much Stripe charged. I'm not alone, I know no founder who has clarity on this.

The main reason is: Stripe has 21 products, each of the product has a clear pricing, but it's unclear how many of the Stripe products you're using. Ans each pricing is negotiable at some point.

Here are our notes on this topic: https://www.getlago.com/blog/we-crunched-the-fees-of-stripes-21-products

Disclaimer, I work at Lago (YC S21) and we build an 'Open Source Billing API'(we partner with Stripe and other PSPs).
