What is Adyen? One integration allows businesses to accept 250 payment methods, from wherever people pay. A payments technology company that provides a single global platform to accept payments anywhere in the world.

What is Braintree? Accept payments in your app or website today. Braintree replaces traditional payment gateways and merchant accounts. From one touch payments, to mobile SDKs and international sales, we provide everything you need to start accepting payments today.
Adyen and Braintree belong to "Payment Services" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Adyen are:
- Adyen support over 250 specific payment methods and all valid currencies. Our broad payment methods network offers 187 transaction and 17 settlement currencies across six continents.
- Hosted Payment Pages
- Direct API
On the other hand, Braintree provides the following key features:
- Simple pricing with no minimums- Pay only for what you use, with no minimum monthly volume, at the simple US pricing rate of 2.9% + $.30 per transaction.
- An API developers love- Integrate your app with our API over a cup of coffee.
- We support your business model- Subscriptions or one-off, mobile or web, local or global, our platform adapts.
"Great customer support" is the top reason why over 6 developers like Adyen, while over 22 developers mention "Well-designed api" as the leading cause for choosing Braintree.
Airbnb, Uber Technologies, and Stack Exchange are some of the popular companies that use Braintree, whereas Adyen is used by ChromaDex, Vestiaire Collective, and Index.co. Braintree has a broader approval, being mentioned in 162 company stacks & 33 developers stacks; compared to Adyen, which is listed in 21 company stacks and 6 developer stacks.
We're looking for a payment gateway with a robust and dependable API. We will be accepting recurring payments for premium plans on our website, preferably in as many regions as possible.
While looking for Stripe alternatives, we found Adyen, which seemed like a viable option - we would love to hear your thoughts!
I appreciate your time reading this message and hope to hear back from you about your experiences with payment gateways!
I would recommend Stripe because it has a feature called Billing which is built for Premium plans. While adyen has more Payment Options, Stripe has lesser charging rates per transaction. But this also depends if your product is available worldwide or to specific nations. If you want to go worldwide, I would recommend Adyen as It is scalable. If you want to go for some specific nations Stripe will be better and easier to integrate but Stripe will also be great if you are worldwide.
Question for you: Where will you be running the transactions through? Will they be done in each country separately or done domestically? The reason I ask, Payfacs (i.e.: stripe, braintree, square, etc) charge two extra transactions if the processing is done domestically. The first being on an international card 1% and the second being in a currency other than your home country's currency 1%.
Stripe was made with developers in mind first so the extensibility of it is great! This makes it very easy for us to integrate and automate as much as we need with its APIs and SDK. It allows a lot of customization of exactly what we need to build our applications. They also manage all of our customers from a tax and accounting perspective which makes it easy from a business standpoint.
