Alternative to Laravel Cashier

Are you looking for a Laravel Cashier alternative?

Laravel Cashier is a Laravel package for handling subscription billing via Stripe or Paddle, streamlining tasks like creating subscriptions and processing payments. While it helps with the backend processing of payments, it does not include any UI elements for building your payment flow. Even when using Laravel Cashier (either Stripe or Paddle), you still end up writing a lot of boilerplate and designing the UI for your billing portal.

If you'd like to avoid all of that boilerplate and ship faster, then Spike is the perfect alternative to Laravel Cashier. It is based on Laravel Cashier, therefore you get all the great benefits of a Laravel-first payment system, as well the steroids Spike provides.

Spike is the best solution for handling billing in your Laravel app, helping you sell credits via subscriptions and one-off products with ease. Your users will appreciate the simplicity of purchasing and managing their credits.

Let's look at some of the main benefits Spike provides out of the box.

Billing portal

Spike provides a beautiful and simple billing portal for your users to manage their subscription, purchase additional credits, view their billing history and also their credit usage.

Alternative payment providers

Spike supports multiple payment providers - Stripe and Paddle. You can easily switch between providers without changing your code, and both Stripe and Paddle are great payment processors, both very popular amongst developers and businesses.
