I've always heard great things about Braintree from the developer standpoint, but it looks like $110 per month is the minimum you're going to pay with them... that seems a lot steeper than going through a provider that uses Authorize.net. Although, I only know the typical fees for Authorize.net, and not the fees associated with the merchant account itself.
Did Braintree seem comparable to other options on a price basis?
