Advantages of Cashier over simple Stripe SDK?

We are building 2.0 version of our website in Laravel and I cant help but notice Cashier. Our current website is built using Wordpress and a messy plugin using the Stripe php wrapper very heavily. I already have most of the billing functionality coded up in the Wordpress plugin including a reliance on subscription schedules in a few places which I'm seeing is not yet supported in Cashier. However I need to do some refactoring of the code and clean a lot of things up while moving it from a Wordpress plugin into Laravel. I'm trying to decide if I should use Cashier or not and would love to hear what people have found the advantages and disadvantages of using it over just the php wrapper that Stripe provides.

Also I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong channel. I'm still super new to Laracasts.
