Yes, users are asked to put their credit card credentials, and then we generate an invoice, and charge their cards.

We use Stripe, Ogone, Braintree or Adyen as payment providers, and money goes directly into your account, we don't take any cut.

Does 3Scale even support subscriptions/recurrent payments?

yes, if you could define for example that people should be charge X per month.

Create yourself an account on 3scale.net and you should be able to see all the features, it's free for 30days

Will do, thanks! One more thing, is there a plan for startups? The price seems huge for me and we expect a big use of our APIs. I suggest to talk to the YC Startup School to add 3Scale as a deal. Our project is part of YC Startup School.

Let's chat about it over email ;) I am sure we can help.

Also we announced today our on-prem solution https://www.3scale.net/2017/04/go-anywhere-api-management-3s...
