Razorpay Subscriptions alternatives by what you need

How to choose a Razorpay Subscriptions alternative

  • Start with your billing complexity. If you have three plans and monthly cycles, your payment gateway's built-in subscriptions may be enough.
  • Check gateway support in India — Razorpay, Cashfree and PayU — alongside Stripe for international customers.
  • Understand pricing: a percentage of revenue looks small at launch and large at scale; negotiate a cap early.
