Stripe is great if you want to build it yourself but when you start doing more sophisticated things, multiple pricing plans, tiered pricing, fixed-terms etc your development team will have to spend a lot of time building these tools internally.
BillForward also aims to provide more infrastructure around metrics and general management of subscriptions.

Looks interesting, and the pricing model is attractive.
...however support for more payment gateways would be really nice. For example, eWay's Rapid API[1] would mean I could actually use it. :)

I'd like to see more of these surreal mundane-but-apparently-life-changing headlines:

Congrats to the BillForward team on making it through YC, the product has come on quite a way since it was first announced here a couple of months back [1]

Thanks, our team have been busy!
Can someone do a good comparison with chargify? They offer usage based subscription billing in much the same way.
Isn't Stripe already the Stripe for subscription billing? Reading the docs [1] it's incredibly flexible already.
