I use the square app daily to settle up lunch tabs with friends and whatnot. Totally free and 1-day turnaround. This seems not as good.

Square takes a hit for each transaction and makes it free for its users. Stripe has an API that allows anyone to implement this. Making it free and suffering these kinds of losses is a bad business idea.
I'm sure square can make it up in volume.
