Stripe isn't cheap even on IC++ pricing by time you add the bare minimum basics - Adyen is much cheaper but a much poorer dev experience since they are big Kafka advocates and unfortunately this leaks that you can't even GET a transaction by id - if you didn't listen to event stream and persist this yourself then its back to CSV reporting. TBH, even though it costs us more, I'm happier working with Stripe vs event stream advocates that want to leak this everywhere... (I like Kafka to be fair, just Adyen takes it too far, their implementation their problem, now let me get a transaction from 3 weeks ago over REST)
