Stripe has been on this trajectory for many, many, years. Unfortunately, I have an entire side-business of migrating companies off Stripe because eventually the "developer-friendliness" of it wears off the company is left with the "business-unfriendliness".

This trajectory will not stop, so it's probably best to figure out a solution if it's already this dire after just over a year with Stripe.

Yeah. I could see that. It isn't dire, but how much is too much to pay over a period of time? How much do they really need to run a solution that has been feature complete forever now? I get inflation and costs, but this increasing cost structure is way beyond that. What do your clients end up doing most of the time when migrating away? I ask because it is a real consideration.
Would love to know an alternative as well.
