There's a free plan; paid tiers are quoted.
Standard payments pricing is included with Payments at no additional charge, with Stripe setting and collecting processing fees from users. There is no listed monthly or annual Connect plan price. Platforms that want to set their own payment prices can use Own payments pricing, starting at 0.25% per transaction. Your costs then depend on transaction volume and the payment setup you choose. Check applicable processing fees and any configuration-specific charges with Stripe before forecasting spend.

02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
Transaction volume
Own payments pricing starts at 0.25% per transaction, so its Connect fee rises with transaction count.
Payment processing fees
With standard pricing, Stripe sets and collects processing fees from users. Confirm applicable Payments charges for your setup.
Unlisted limits and charges
The pricing details list no usage cap, request allowance or add-on prices. Ask Stripe about any fees or limits relevant to your integration.
03Which plan should you buy?

04Is Stripe Connect worth the money?
Stripe Connect can be worth paying for when embedding payments and financial tools is central to your platform and its integration reduces the work of building those capabilities yourself. Standard payments pricing has no additional Connect charge, but users still pay processing fees set and collected by Stripe. Own payments pricing starts at 0.25% per transaction, so model that against transaction volume and your revenue plan. There is no self-hosted option listed for teams seeking to avoid a hosted provider.
