How is it 10x more complex, exactly?

I have developed an application that uses Paypal's subscription plan API's. I just looked up the invoice that I sent to that client I did work for: 20 hours of work, including custom integration into their word press platform.

Are you suggesting that if Stripe were available at the time, this work would have been reduced to 2 hours?

I'm not you, and I don't know what you did, but the Stripe integrations I've done (which were very complex and touched on lots of functionality) took (much?) less than two hours, so probably yes.
