The short version

  • Only Dinero has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Adyen there is a minimum monthly invoice, set by industry and business model and only disclosed through the sales team, so small volumes are not economic; Dinero free Starter plan is capped to businesses with revenue under 100,000 kr, forcing an upgrade to Starter+ at 245 kr/md (annual) once that threshold is crossed

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Adyen

  • There is a minimum monthly invoice, set by industry and business model and only disclosed through the sales team, so small volumes are not economic
  • Published fees are indicative rather than a rate card, with real pricing negotiated
  • Interchange++ means the card cost varies per transaction rather than being a single predictable percentage
  • Alternative payment methods carry their own rates on top, such as 3.3 percent plus $0.10 for American Express in North America

Dinero

  • Free Starter plan is capped to businesses with revenue under 100,000 kr, forcing an upgrade to Starter+ at 245 kr/md (annual) once that threshold is crossed
  • Tax calculation (Skatteopgorelsen) costs an extra 2,497 kr/yr on the two cheapest tiers and drops to 1,997 kr/yr on Pro, only becoming included at the top Total tier for 545 kr/md
