It sounds like they're targeting startups, but if you're a startup you're adding quite a bit of risk by depending on another startup (in beta) for something so critical as your cashflow. It's easy to imagine scenarios where they go bust at a critical time and take you out too.
- mrkurt 17y agoWe are part of a pretty risk averse large corporation, and this really isn't all that much of a consideration for us (for reference, we use another small recurring billing startup). We generally think the startup can do a better job of handling these things than we can. We also get ridiculously good service that we wouldn't be getting from a large, established company trying to shunt us through a useless enterprise sales process. So in summary, you're kinda right, but I think it's worth the relatively minimal risk.
- akronim 17y agoYes, but as a large corp, you have the momentum to survive if you can't bill for a month, but it might be fatal for a startup.
