I had intended to use PayPal's Subscriptions and Recurring Payments option. I had some concerns that there was a slight stigma with using PayPal, (unprofessional), but I feel that, perhaps that stigma has faded the last few years.

[as an aside, I've been using Amazon DevPay, and I feel that it's weirding too many people out. Too different from what they're used to]

Any thoughts on why to use these services rather than PayPal?

Some of those companies are actually based on the new PayPal X.

We used PayPal's Recurring Payments for http://www.placevine.com and it has been an absolute nightmare. Charges get declined for seemingly random reasons, the management console is riddled with bugs, and support has been useless.

I highly recommend using Braintree (http://www.braintreepaymentsolutions.com/). I've worked with them as the payment processor for http://www.parkwhiz.com for 3 years and they've been fantastic.
