Pricing spans many distinct Stripe services with a mix of per-transaction percentages, per-call meters, and optional subscriptions, which is proportionate to its broad scope but requires combining multiple meters and surcharges to estimate total cost. Annual-contract options, dual pricing modes for some products, and add-ons with separate fees can further complicate forecasting.
