Spreedly is talking to multiple businesses currently using PayPal's recurring service that want to switch to Spreedly (and we're working with them to make that happen). In short, PayPal's recurring API is awful, especially as you want to do more complex things like, say, allow a subscriber to change their subscription term or plan. Also, have you seen PayPal's admin UI? It's awful for any sort of ongoing use, especially for subscriptions where you have an ongoing relationship with your customers.
In short, Spreedly grew out of using PayPal's recurring API on a client project and realizing that there had to be a better way.
