Start with Stripe Billing (Stripe-coupled speed)
If you're already processing payments on Stripe and billing complexity is still manageable—flat-rate plans, a few pricing tiers, standard trial logic—Stripe Billing is often the fastest path to recurring revenue. You're adding subscription logic inside an existing vendor relationship with no new integration surface. Validate the upgrade triggers before assuming you'll need a dedicated billing platform: most Stripe-native SaaS companies can run on Stripe Billing through $5–10M ARR without constraint.
