What's the difference between Stripe and GitHub Marketplace billing?
Same features, different billing preferences - choose what works for you.
Both payment options give you the exact same features at the same price. The choice comes down to your billing preferences:
Stripe (Direct)
- Pay directly with credit card
- Separate invoices for expense tracking
- Ideal for companies that need itemized receipts
- Manage subscription from ThankStars dashboard
GitHub Marketplace
- Consolidated with other GitHub purchases
- Appears on your GitHub invoice
- Convenient if you already pay for GitHub features
- Manage subscription from GitHub settings
Choose whichever fits your workflow better—you can switch between them at any time by canceling one and subscribing through the other.
