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.
