Stripe Pricing

Stripe Billing uses a pay-as-you-go model charging 0.7% of eligible recurring billing volume, alongside annual-contract monthly plans from $620 to $5,750 with included volume allowances and a 0.67% overage rate, while custom pricing is available for larger customers. Its core functions include subscription management, invoicing, proration, payment recovery, customer portals, and basic usage-based billing for up to 100 million meter events per month, but payment processing, tax automation, revenue recognition, disputes, and other services add separate costs. Standard US payment fees include 2.9% plus $0.30 for domestic cards, with surcharges for international cards and currency conversion, while ACH Direct Debit costs 0.8% capped at $5. Stripe acquired Metronome in January 2026 to expand advanced usage-based billing capabilities, including multidimensional pricing, commitments, credits, contract changes, and SQL-based metrics; Metronome’s Starter plan charges 0.8% of billing volume plus $0.04 per 1,000 events. The guide emphasizes that total cost depends not only on billing volume but also on payment mix, event ingestion, pricing complexity, engineering integrations, corrections, and finance workflows, illustrating that a company with $100,000 in eligible monthly billing volume and 1,000 domestic card transactions could incur $3,900 in combined Billing and Payments fees before optional products. It also presents Orb as an alternative revenue infrastructure platform for hybrid and usage-based billing, offering raw-event metering, configurable pricing, historical simulations, invoicing, and finance integrations under customized plans based primarily on billings and event volume.
