multiflow vs. Spreedly

Here's what Spreedly really sells: your cards live in their vault, PCI-compliant, and you can swap processors without re-tokenizing. That matters enormously if you're a large subscription business with millions of cards on file and you want leverage against Stripe (or Adyen, or any single PSP) to negotiate rates. You can credibly threaten to move because the cards are portable.

multiflow doesn't solve that problem. Our clients are on Stripe or Square and aren't playing vault-portability chess with enterprise PSPs. The problem is multi-brand, not multi-gateway.

Large recurring-billing businesses (SaaS, media subscriptions, insurance) with millions of cards on file. The vault-portability lever is real; the PSP negotiation leverage is real. If you're operating at that scale and your procurement team asks about "payment vault strategy" — you're in Spreedly's market.

Mid-market multi-brand DTC operators. The problem isn't vault portability — it's that you run 4 brands on Stripe and ops is drowning in 4 dashboards. Spreedly doesn't solve that; they're designed for cross-gateway portability, not within-gateway multi-brand orchestration.

Rarely in practice, but possible. An enterprise multi-brand operator could use Spreedly for vault portability and multiflow for brand-level orchestration within each PSP. Complex stack; only makes sense at very specific scale and structure.

Spreedly's vault reduces your PCI scope substantially — the cards live on Spreedly's side, not yours. That's a meaningful compliance lift for enterprise merchants handling their own PCI audits. multiflow doesn't expose customer PANs either (we rely on the underlying PSP's tokenization), so PCI scope is similar — but we don't provide the portability Spreedly does.

Spreedly: enterprise vault portability + cross-gateway routing. multiflow: mid-market multi-brand within one PSP. Both are called "orchestration." Different axes of the problem.
