Any feedback on braintree? I'm considering them for a new app.

Braintree is expensive when you're just getting started. Their API is nicer than authorize.net's API, but if you're using a service like Spreedly, it's Spreedly's API you'll be talking to, not Braintree's.
Great service and full PCI compliance. Watch out for monthly minimum and early termination fees. Not supported by any of the SaaS billing frontends yet (though Spreedly is willing to make it happen).
Is braintree willing to negotiate on these costs?
There was a discussion about that on HN that a while back. It sounds like the answer is "yes," but only to a point: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=598974
We're using them. Happy for two reasons: 1. Easy to use and 2. Very responsive and helpful as a company.
We've been with Braintree for two years, and are about to use them for a second startup. Big, big fan.
