Spreedly (non-core) customer here. Curious what these changes mean for existing customers. Your post is a good history lesson to bring everyone up to speed, but it lacks details as to how you're handling existing accounts... is Spreedly being deprecated? Edit: Nvm, finally read the pricing page. Apparently, you're just switching to a metered billing where one of the meters is a payment gateway token. Also each plan-level now includes a limit to the number of cards on file.

Hi there. We mention in the post that subscription and recurring are critical requirements we hear and thus important. Just as say Stripe or Braintree have good basic recurring functionality for subscriptions we too think we'll get those requests with Spreedly. In particular, there are folks that don't get to chose the gateway they work with. (There are a lot of companies that have fantastic processing rates against older, bigger gateways) Those folks can/do use Spreedly as the front end and then just drop in those credentials for that gateway to process. So recurring is key there. What will change is marketing subscriptions directly as a stand alone product/service. It'll be rolled into our overall messaging and be much more inline with how you might see a modern gateway answer that question vs a dedicated service like Chargify, ChargeBee, Fusebill etc. Btw more to come on this topic in length in a few weeks.

  I want to take a minute here and say that, by far, Spreedly has been the best SaaS provider I've ever worked with. Granted, it doesn't hurt that they hand me fistfuls of subscription revenue from my products. But, here I was having misgivings for a brief moment, and it was silly of me. You know, these guys keep doing it right.
