Braintree is a good chunk more expensive than Stripe for OP's needs if they're in the US.

Based on the info they shared:

• Braintree: 2.59% + $0.49

> Braintree fees: $17,570 cost for 20K txns/month ($15 AOV)

• Stripe: 2.9% + $0.30

> Stripe fees: $14,700 cost for 20K txns/month ($15 AOV)

So Stripe is around 16% cheaper for their use case on standard pricing alone.

Though I suppose that 16% does depend on what the average transaction fee is. If you are higher then $15 it does scale towards Braintree being cheaper.
For sure, although I based it on OP's stated transaction value + volume ("20k transactions a month with an average ticket size of $15 per transaction").

If you're doing ~$300K/month, it’s likely you would've already spoken to our sales team and we would work out custom pricing for your business.
