We at forhyre.com a freelancing kind of startup(Currently in pre-alpha) and we need the suitable gateway for converting the currencies,tax etc.
We are thinking of Paypal + Stripe but heard lots of good stuff about Brainstrom. So which is better for a freelancing site?<p>The two are pretty similar. Stripe happens to be enjoying media attention as a darling disruptor while Braintree suffers a bit from association with PayPal, the Evil company that's been doing business for 20 years and has a good foothold in online payments.
Stripe is better than Braintree in every single way.<p>There's no contest.<p>Braintree gets competitive when you've got more "custom" needs and large transaction volumes.
