Prompt
What should I use for subscriptions and recurring billing?
Latest observation
If you mean for your app/product, the best choice depends on your stack and how much billing complexity you want to manage.
Common options
- Stripe Billing — best general-purpose choice for most SaaS.
Good docs, flexible subscriptions, recurring invoices, coupons, trials, metered billing, and easy API integration. - Paddle — good if you want them to act as a merchant of record and handle more tax/VAT burden for you.
- Chargebee — strong for more complex subscription management, especially when you need dunning, entitlements, invoicing, and enterprise workflows on top of Stripe/Braintree.
- Braintree Recurring — solid, but usually less common than Stripe for new SaaS.
- Recurly — good for larger subscription businesses with more advanced billing ops.
- Lemon Squeezy — simpler setup for digital products/SaaS, also merchant of record.
Quick recommendation
- Most startups / SaaS: Stripe Billing
- Want taxes/compliance handled more for you: Paddle or Lemon Squeezy
- Need advanced subscription ops: Chargebee or Recurly
If you tell me:
- your platform (web/mobile),
- country/markets,
- whether you need one-time + subscriptions,
- whether you want to offload taxes,
…I can recommend the best fit more precisely.

Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?
Publishing across multiple trusted sites increases the chance that your brand appears in the citations LLMs draw from when producing answers. Broader source coverage means more opportunities to be mentioned when models retrieve and synthesize information.
