We are doing 200k+ in MRR and looking to move from Stripe because the cost is starting to hurt, and this change feels unfair. Our use-case is pretty simple (capture card and manage subscriptions) and we don't need all the features they have built in the last 5 years or are planing to build.

We are looking into Spreedly. Does anyone have other suggestions of Stripe alternatives that are not so expensive?

Have you negotiated with Stripe? Pretty much all of their pricing is negotiable.

Particularly if most of your customers are in the EU where interchange fees are capped at something like 0.3%, so their cost base is much lower.

I'm busy writing a Spreedly integration for my employer. It's not in production yet, but I can tell you that their iFrame API is a bit clumbsy and gives you less out of the box than Stripe Elements.
