Stripe vs. TDMFunnels: The Tool That Gets You Paid vs. The Tool That Runs Your Whole Business

Running a small business in today’s digital economy requires more than just grit and a good idea—it demands tools that simplify operations, streamline sales, and ensure you're actually getting paid. That’s where platforms like Stripe and TDMFunnels come in.

Stripe is a leading payment processing platform trusted by millions of businesses around the world. It enables small business owners to accept online payments, manage subscriptions, send invoices, and handle everything from one-time purchases to complex billing structures. Whether you're running an e-commerce shop, a service-based business, or a subscription model, Stripe makes getting paid fast, secure, and seamless.

On the other side, TDMFunnels is an all-in-one business management software built for entrepreneurs who are tired of juggling a dozen apps. It combines website creation, CRM, email and text marketing, automation workflows, appointment scheduling, sales funnels, and client management—all in one place. TDMFunnels is ideal for small business owners who want to save time, reduce costs, and focus on growing instead of just managing.

Together, Stripe and TDMFunnels create a powerful tech stack for modern entrepreneurs. Stripe takes care of the money. TDMFunnels takes care of everything else.

Let’s be real:

Stripe is a great payment processor. It makes sure you get paid—whether it’s one-time payments, subscriptions, or invoices.

But that’s it. That’s all it does.

TDMFunnels, on the other hand, is built to help you grow, scale, and manage your entire business from a single dashboard.

What Stripe Offers (And Does Well):

• Online payments, including credit cards, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay

• Subscription and recurring billing

• Custom invoices and estimates

• Global payment support in multiple currencies

• Built-in fraud protection and bank-level security

• Integrations with many major platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, etc.)

• Developer tools and API access for custom builds

Bottom Line: Stripe is powerful—but it’s focused on payment processing. You’ll need to stack it with other tools if you want to manage your actual business.

Pricing Comparison: Stripe vs. TDMFunnels

Stripe: Pay-As-You-Go

Stripe doesn’t charge a monthly fee, but don’t be fooled—you pay every time you get paid.

Here’s what Stripe charges:

• 2.9% + $0.30 per online transaction (standard domestic cards)

• 3.4% – 3.9% + extra fees for international cards and currency conversions

• 1% extra if you want instant payouts

• 0.4% – 0.5% per invoice for recurring billing and subscriptions at scale

Plus:

• If you need custom integrations, developer support, or advanced invoicing, expect additional costs or dev time.

• Stripe doesn’t include any business tools like a CRM, email marketing, or websites—you’ll need to pay for those elsewhere.

Bottom Line: Stripe is clean and reliable—but it’s a metered tool. You’ll pay more the more you grow.
