Ask HN: Subscription management service

6 points by sirrocco 15y ago ↗ HN

Hi, I'm looking for a subscription service that integrates with PayPal and has stuff like : - cupons - discounts - X$/m plan - unlimited plan - multiple accounts - promotion for periods

I've found spreedly so far, that seems to match most of these , any others you know of ?

Chargify doesn't do PayPal , and neither does cheddargetter.

Plans like those always bug me. You actually pay a LOT more for 201 transactions than 200.

200 = $29+$40 = $69

201 = $69+$20.10 = $89.10

Gaining 1 more customer would cost me almost $20!

We are using PayPal Subscription API itself. It easy and supports some of the stuff you listed, but some has deeper integration with our system/easier to implement on our side.

Cons: Its PayPal. Pros: You sorta asked for PayPal

I'm developing a subs management system for iPhone apps (so Apple is processing payments). I do it for my own use, but ping me if you have interest.

As an independent computer technician, I used to just use PayPal for my website and Square for in-person transactions. Yes, PayPal requires a little bit more work, but then you don't have to pay a middle-man to operate between you and a, well, other middle-man.
