I haven't looked exhaustively.
After the chargify free account fiasco, I'm staying away from them. I would have started with the free account there and moved up, but now I'd be too nervous to look at them. Not familiar with the others, but I'd be nervous to go with anyone who doesn't have serious momentum, or size in their favor, as I don't want to rewrite my code if a startup fails or deal with stranded account information.
- vietor 16y agoThat happened to my co-founders and I on our previous product (the one visible at the website in my profile). The only thing our payment provider ended up being serious about was getting acquired. We had to change providers about a year after we launched, and it ended up costing us nearly half of our early customers.
- ericb 16y agoInteresting that the data didn't transfer over to the acquiree. Is that a rule in terms of PCI I wonder?
- vietor 16y agoMy understanding was that it was a low-dollar tech acquisition. The acquiree had no interest in existing customers beyond the fact that they validated functionality.
- mgrouchy 16y agochanging from Chargify or any other recurring payment service to another provider shouldn't be too hard, considering all your customer data should be stored in your Payment Gateway(Authorize.Net, Braintree, etc.). Changing your gateway however would probably cause significant difficulties though.
