A: Great question! To help you understand where we fit: UniBee doesn't replace the money-processing part of Stripe, but it replaces the expensive "Subscription Logic" part.

The Pipeline vs. The Brain: Stripe acts as the "Payment Gateway" (moving money). UniBee acts as the "Billing Engine" (managing trials, recurring cycles, tiered pricing, and invoices).

What you save: While you still pay the standard processing fee to gateways (e.g., Stripe's 2.9%), you save the extra 0.5% - 0.8% commission that "Stripe Billing" usually charges for subscription management.

No Vendor Lock-in: Unlike using Stripe's built-in subscriptions, UniBee is gateway-agnostic. You can switch between Stripe, PayPal, or Crypto without rewriting your entire codebase.
