I’m currently having a problem in finding the best way to implement a subscription payment solution for my SaaS product, so has anyone any recommendations and already done it with Realm?
I’m considering Chargebee, but it can get expensive. Also, I thought about implementing every payment solution I need myself but maintaining that is not something I want to spend time on.
Would love to hear if someone has a recommendation for me. Thanks
Hey! I was in a similar spot a few months ago building a lightweight SaaS with Realm on the backend. Chargebee looked good at first, but once I started factoring in the pricing and how much of it I’d actually use, it didn’t make sense for an earlystage product. I also didn’t want to maintain custom billing logic forever, it’s one of those things that starts small and snowballs into a huge time sink.
So what actually worked for me was using Stripe’s prebuilt Checkout with webhooks. I kept everything super lean and just handled subscription events on the backend, stored minimal metadata in Realm, and let Stripe do the heavy lifting. It’s not as fancy as Chargebee but way more manageable for now. Hopefully it helps
