This is absolutely true! Let's do a feature comparison of when Balanced and Stripe have launched some new features:

                                Balanced    Stripe
        MP payments             11/16/12    2/24/14
        ACH Payouts             2/14/13     6/24/13
        Push to Card            1/24/14     5/22/14
        Bitcoin                 2/20/14     3/27/14
        ACH Debits              2/28/13     (in private beta)
        metadata                11/16/12    10/30/13
        auth/capture            11/16/12    6/20/13
        same-day payouts        2/25/13     (2 day payouts in private beta)
        Dynamic Soft Descriptor 11/16/12    3/14/14
Everyone wins.

It's tough because we (I've actually just left Balanced, and, in the interest of full disclosure, have been a Stripe customer for a few years) are so open, our roadmap is basically public. Today is the day we originally said we'd launch production push to card, not beta, so it's fun to see Stripe launch this feature today.
