Seems like a great service. Thanks for the article.

How does Stripe line up in terms of services compared to GoCardless which was up here the other day: https://gocardless.com/

Differences in the agreement / metrics / UI / API? Seems like the 1.9% fee difference could add up.

This comes up again and again, unfortunately. Its Apples and Oranges - and I get the feeling GoCardless don't say this clearly enough:

GoCardless does not process credit card transactions. They process bank debits (= low fees, different system), and are UK only.

Stripe does process credit card transactions, and doesn't do bank debit.
