Stripe will nickel and dime you to death.

The last time I created an invoice manually it tried to upsell me on a far more expensive plan just so I can group things on an invoice. Even worse, adding a recurring product to a quote results in an upsell.

It’s honestly embarrassing. Feature-gating things with 0 marginal cost feels desperate.

Their payment links take on the form of buy.stripe.com/<id> but they added the ability to use your custom domain for $10/mo ... Why isn't this baked-in?
welcome to every business in america.
Businesses want value-based pricing on their sales, cost plus (a small) margin on their expenses.
Yes. Moreover, the goal of most of the companies. Competition is what holds it.
