Truth is Stripe billing works fine for us.

We've built around some of the limitations and expanded it to be super powerful (e.g., we built a cashback system based around Stripe's excellent webhooks https://arnon.dk/how-we-built-a-cashback-system-with-stripe/)

I don't need it for the stuff that "would keep money hostage" as others say so I haven't experienced it at all.

I think the people whose money was kept hostage would say the same. That is until their money got held hostage.

The alternatives for payment processing are few and far between, often with their own issues like needing to talk to sales and draw up big contracts before they will underwrite you for CC processing.
