Subscription billing sounds easy, just charge a credit card X dollars every Y months.  So, why is it that every subscription service makes it so difficult?  All too often a start-up creates a fantastic service, and after months of hard work, discovers that accepting subscriptions is going to take another 1-4 months of development?

Perhaps you recognize that billing is not your core competency (and why should it be?), so surely there’s a company that will help you maximize your subscriptions at a minimal cost in time and development.  After some initial investigation, the results are frightening.  Your options include paying a fortune for a complicated system, giving control to someone else, or spending several developer months on integration.
