Pros and cons
Stripe Billing
Pros
- No monthly fee on pay as you go: you pay 0.7% only when you bill
- Smart Retries and dunning are included, not an upsell
- Huge developer ecosystem and clear public pricing for every add-on
- Tax and revenue recognition can be added later without switching tools
Cons
- Add-ons stack up: Billing, Tax and Revenue Recognition are each priced separately
- Not a merchant of record: you still register for and file sales tax and VAT yourself
- Best experience assumes Stripe Payments; other processors are an extra-cost feature
- No native Shopify subscription app
Recharge
Pros
- Built for Shopify: subscriptions live inside your existing store and checkout
- Retention tools (cancel flows, win-backs, smart retries) included from Starter
- Large ecosystem of Shopify marketing and support apps connect to it
- 60-day free trial
Cons
- Per-transaction fee on top of a monthly fee costs more than SaaS billing tools at the same volume
- Only Shopify and BigCommerce are supported out of the box
- Plus and Custom lock you into 12-month terms
- Not designed for B2B invoicing, usage billing or revenue recognition
