1. Freshbooks

Jonathan LongWe have used Freshbooks for several years and have never had a problem. It integrates with our merchant account and sends out professional invoices that our clients can pay online. It’s easier for the client, and we don’t have to wait for a check to come in the mail. It’s a win-win situation for both sides.

2. PayHub

Darrah BrusteinDisclaimer: I’m in the credit card processing industry so I know a lot about the options. I love PayHub.com because it’s free to set up and just $8 a month for features that include easy to set up recurring billing, as well as mobile payments, online payments and virtual terminal options that can integrate with swipers for retail sales. It’s a great, inexpensive and scalable platform.

3. Paypal

Marcela DeVivoPeople feel very comfortable using paypal. There is massive adoption, and it gives them control over when they want to cancel their subscriptions. We’ve tried using other system, but in the end, Paypal has performed best as people know the system, trust it and have fewer qualms about creating recurring subscriptions through it.

4. Stripe

Matthew WeinbergStripe has totally changed the game for easy-to-use payment APIs. We work with a lot of payment gateways, and Stripe’s recurring billing API is by far the easiest to integrate with and has the most sensible behavior.

7. Recurly

Nanxi LiuWe use Recurly for its easy-to-use tracking and reporting interface. We like the clarity of information Recurly is able to show on historical subscriber and transaction growth. We can also quickly add teammates to give them access to the data.

8. Authorize and Fusebill

Sheldon MichaelOur firm processes hundreds of credit cards a week, all for recurring clients. Our favorite recurring monthly billing services and or platforms have always been the ones that have the least amount of resistance. Authorize.net offers easy set up models for billing and push notifications that show accepted or declined transactions. We then intermingle Fusebill for our infrastructure to cut CPA costs.
