Rationale
Dots positions itself as a direct alternative to Stripe Connect and Stripe Payouts, focusing on global payout solutions. It explicitly states it offers developer-friendly APIs, global currency support, local payment methods, automated tax compliance, KYC/ID verification, and fraud protection. While it doesn't handle credit card *acceptance* in the same way Stripe does for incoming payments, it facilitates payouts to various digital wallets and bank transfers, which aligns with the broader 'payment processing' and 'global payments' features. The emphasis is on outbound payments (payouts) rather than inbound payment collection from customers.

I've been using Alternative A for 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The pricing is much better and the features are actually more robust than what [Product] offers.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
