Transparency alternatives to Stripe
Other Payment processing vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Stripe. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 31 that differ from Stripe on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Stripe has 7 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, Notice before subprocessors change. The column “Found there, not found at Stripe” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
