I guess it depends on how complex your pricing and monetization process are (is it the same pricing for everyone or custom ; is it a simple subscription: or a is there revenue share, transactional pricing, usage-based, tiers ; is it self-serve or sales-led with a quoting system, do you have grandfathered plans, do you need to use other payment processors than Stripe - "Stripe Billing" is only usable with "Stripe Payments").
In some cases, it's "brain dead simple", in a lot of cases it ends up "being much more complex than it seemed".

- atonse 3y agoI wouldn’t actually expect stripe to use stripe billing. Just like I don’t expect AWS to be built on top of AWS. The point is that I’d happily pay someone else to sweat the details than my own team. Our volume is so small that it is a no brainer, especially if you want to sell in multiple countries.
