Start with flexibility, but don’t overbuy complexity
If you want multi-gateway payment flexibility and subscription lifecycle management before complexity becomes extreme, evaluate Chargebee or Recurly early. Both platforms grow with the business—handling pricing experiments, recovery optimization, and revenue analytics at $1M ARR as well as $100M ARR. Starting with a billing platform designed for RevOps avoids the painful migration from Stripe Billing that many fast-growing SaaS companies face at Series B when the finance team needs proper subscription metrics.
