Aria vs Stripe

Accepts wide variety of payment methods, including credit card, direct debit, ACH/e-check, B2B Net Terms, lock box, and alternative payment methods like ApplePay.

Aria supports concurrent integrations to multiple payment processors in a single Aria deployment. When Aria is managing the electronic payment details in our PCI level 1 compliant encrypted database, this “processor portability” allows the Aria client to optimize the use of specific payment processors to manage overall costs by region, payment methods, and payment processors.

Easily offer and bill for both subscription and non-subscription offers in an open product catalog, while enforcing sophisticated rules for allowability, exclusions, grouping, hierarchy, and more. Support complex account structures for B2C, B2B, and B2B2X business structures.

Your subscriber relationships can be complicated, involving multiple departments, divisions, locations, and payment methods. Customers demand account relationships and payment relationships in complex ways like parent-pay, child-pay, sponsored, pooled usage, or touching large numbers of devices/fleets of vehicles where consumption and payment are not the same.

Enterprise level service from a team of experts who provide best practice guidance and operational excellence vs only self-serve and self-integration.

More than simple metered billing of rate x price. Expand your offers, customer base, and total available market, with the ability to apply sophisticated usage ratings to your offerings, to trigger notifications, and drive action based on usage data. Tracking customer activity by analyzing usage, even when there is no charge associated with the usage, is important for Freemium adoption and monetizing new offers. Load usage data from a variety of sources, frequencies, and volumes, each with different processing requirements

Manage fully customizable schedules for sending customized notices, apply late fees, limiting services/pausing access. Do so for different cohorts such as payment method (Credit Card; ACH; Contractual Terms with Checking lock-box), by products deployed, or by geography served.

Your recurring revenue billing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It touches many parts of your business and many existing systems. Update and synchronize data, automate business processes, and engage customers, without creating custom code that must be maintained. Increase customer satisfaction and lifetime value as you watch out for our customers and your business, actively orchestrating interactions and revenue moments.

Stripe offers a developer-friendly API-first integration capabilities, sample code, and SDKs to get up and running quickly. Aria Systems offers this as well, and API-access to capabilities outside of payments.

Aria Systems integrates to legacy systems and modern public-cloud solutions for CRM, CPQ, ERP, Tax Processing, Usage Processing, Physical Delivery, and legacy systems in specialized verticals.

Remove manual intervention from business processes, such as spreadsheet manipulation, or direct management of billing and invoice runs. Incorporate your company’s unique processes into your monetization platform with a workflow engine operating on the same enterprise-grade infrastructure and SLA.

Recognize a strategic imperative for data to drive action, which demands that data from multiple systems and sources are integrated. Not another BI tool. Go beyond standard reports via an always-on feed of data into your data lake to merge with other data sets where you can perform advanced analytics like machine learning and artificial intelligence. Data-repository agnostic – choose whether to push to brand-name or proprietary data lake.
