I generally refrain from the Balanced vs Stripe debates because I use and like them both, but this comment is unfair, so much so that if I didn't know any better, I'd guess it were from someone with an interest in Stripe.
- aculver 12y agoI'm in the same boat as you: I was hesitant to actually comment at all earlier, but before I posted, I thought the comments on this thread and others were reading very much like they were being hijacked from being about Stripe's feature release to being all these "me too" comments from the co-founder and a developer at another payment processor. It didn't seem very classy to me at all, so I threw my two cents out there to provide what I thought was some balance to the discussion. I'm sorry if it reads unfair at all, it's just IMHO. Can't tell if that was a little jab at the end there, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. :-) My preference for and interest in Stripe as the operator of a Stripe Connect service is clear to anyone who clicks on my profile. :-)
- girvo 12y agoIt's not entirely clear, unless you go to your website. I'm not saying that as an attack or an accusation, just pointing out that I didn't know until your comment just now that you did :)
- aculver 12y agoFixed. Thanks. :-)
- nhangen 12y agoWas not meant as a jab. It just felt like it had a bit of agenda (the comment). Thanks for clearing it up. Something I did learn today is that what Balanced really excels at is making marketplaces easy. Stripe doesn't do this well at all...at least not yet. So I think that for now, there's room for both.
