Complete revenue automation vs developer-first billing tools

Why B2B companies choose JustPaid over Stripe Billing

Stripe revolutionized online payments and built impressive billing infrastructure for developers. Their APIs are elegant, their documentation is excellent, and their payment processing is world-class. But here's what they don't tell you: Stripe Billing is a toolkit, not a solution. You still need to build the actual billing operations yourself.

JustPaid isn't trying to replace Stripe's payment infrastructure—we actually integrate beautifully with it. What we provide is everything Stripe doesn't: autonomous billing operations powered by AI. While Stripe gives you the tools to accept payments, JustPaid handles the entire revenue workflow from contract to cash. Here's the crucial difference:

The hidden cost of "developer-friendly"

Stripe Billing's dirty secret? "Developer-friendly" means "developers required." While Stripe provides excellent APIs, you need engineers to build your entire billing workflow. Custom code for contracts, logic for complex pricing, systems for collections—it all falls on your team. The true cost isn't Stripe's 0.5% + $0.50 per invoice; it's the $200K+ engineer you need to dedicate to billing instead of your product.

B2B complexity Stripe can't handle

Stripe Billing was designed for simple SaaS subscriptions—monthly plans, credit card payments, self-service signups. But B2B reality is different: complex contracts with custom terms, net payment terms instead of instant charges, enterprise procurement processes, and negotiated pricing. Stripe's solution? "Here's an API, build it yourself." JustPaid's solution? Our AI reads your contracts and handles everything automatically.

Collections: Where Stripe stops and problems begin

Stripe's "Smart Retries" for failed payments is great for credit cards, but B2B payments aren't about card declines—they're about net terms, purchase orders, and approval workflows. When an enterprise customer is 30 days late on a $50K invoice, you need intelligent collections, not payment retries. JustPaid's AI crafts personalized collection sequences based on customer history, engagement patterns, and payment behavior. Stripe? You're on your own.

The integration that makes sense

Here's the thing: we love Stripe. Their payment infrastructure is unmatched. That's why JustPaid integrates seamlessly with Stripe—use their world-class payment processing while we handle everything else. Keep your existing Stripe account, maintain your payment flows, and add JustPaid's automation layer on top. It's the best of both worlds: Stripe's payments plus actual billing automation.

No code required vs endless coding

Every Stripe Billing implementation starts the same way: excitement about clean APIs, then reality hits. Months of development, edge cases everywhere, ongoing maintenance forever. JustPaid requires zero code. Upload contracts, connect your systems, and you're live. Your developers can focus on your product while our AI handles billing complexity.
