I made a list of all Stripe™️ alternatives

Stripe™️ is great. Everybody loves Stripe™️. It is powerful, flexible, reliable, and easy to start. It integrates with everything, even with my smart toaster. They have a fancy website and a handsome founder—pure joy.

But there is a cohort of people who can't enjoy it. I'm talking about people from these countries: 🇦🇷 Argentina, 🇨🇱 Chile, 🇨🇳 China, 🇨🇴 Colombia, 🇪🇬 Egypt, 🇮🇱 Israel, 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan, 🇰🇼 Kuwait, 🇵🇪 Peru, 🇵🇭 Philippines, 🇶🇦 Qatar, 🇷🇺 Russia, 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia, 🇰🇷 South Korea, 🇹🇼 Taiwan, 🇹🇷 Turkey, 🇺🇦 Ukraine, 🇺🇾 Uruguay, 🇻🇪 Venezuela, 🇻🇳 Vietnam.

That is approximately 2.56 billion people (thx ChatGPT)!

So what

So I made a website that aggregates all the payment service providers other than Stripe™️ in one place: https://stripealternatives.com/ It is intended for small indie makers like myself and other indie makers.

Why

The main goal is to show other options for people from these countries. I do not them to be sad they can't use the most popular payment service. It is not a problem. There are dozens of competitors to choose from!

I also want to promote the Stripe™️ competitors because it has too huge % of the market. And the monopoly can make things bad.

The data

I listed the payment services I used in my SaaS building experience. But I worked with only 6 of them. So I used the power of GPT4 and Reddit to add more items. I hope that you will also help me to organize the list. There could be mistakes and incorrect data. Please feel free to commit changes in the comments here. I will apply them all.
