Rationale
Lago offers a comprehensive billing and invoicing platform, which aligns with several features of the Stripe Payments Platform. It explicitly mentions automatic invoice generation, customizable invoices, tax management, and payment collection via webhooks and native integrations. The platform also provides a customer portal and extensive API references for developers. While it integrates with payment processors like Stripe, it is not a payment processor itself, nor does it focus on fraud detection as a core feature. Its primary offering is billing and invoicing, which is a subset of Stripe's broader payment infrastructure.
