Veriam vs. Stripe
Stripe is a leading payment infrastructure platform that enables businesses to manage online payments, subscription billing, and financial operations. It is widely known for its developer-friendly APIs and global reach, making it a popular choice for handling complex payment flows.
While Stripe offers robust billing and payment solutions, it does not provide identity and access management (IAM). Businesses using Stripe often need a separate system to manage user authentication and access control.
Veriam, by contrast, is a unified platform combining IAM and subscription management, which allows businesses to manage user identities while controlling access and billing in one integrated system. This combined approach is particularly valuable for business-to-business (B2B) organizations, offering simplified management and advanced policy-based authorization.
