Honestly, I don't find their support helpful with fixing any of my issues, and asking the same question multiple times gives completely different responses. I managed to completely break the Stripe Test API (nothing works, always "in the process of deleting"), and I've been in support limbo for at least a week now.

Haven't looked into the alternatives, but I hope I can move most commerce over to Bitcoin since I can run that fairly cheap internally to the company (and bypass PCI compliance, etc)

EDIT: Maybe I was being overly critical in the first half, but in general implementation has been a bumpy experience. Most transactions on this platform are microtransactions, so it isn't that Stripe is expensive as much as I'm using it in an unconventional way, and not having a $0.30 static fee drastically changes my profit margins
