Why do people look for a Stripe alternative?

High fees, including additional Stripe fees on top of credit card processing and costs for international transactions. Complex, hard-to-forecast pricing (especially Stripe Connect). Slow or unhelpful customer support, particularly for disputes and account flags. To be fair to Stripe: 99.999% historical uptime for stripe services; comprehensive set of payments and financial tools that work individually or together. If that's what matters most to you, it may still be the right call.
