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

TurboTax

  • Do It Yourself federal filing ranges $0 to $149 with state returns billed separately at up to $139, so price rises sharply once a return needs more than the free simple-return tier
  • Expert Assist and Full Service tiers add $89 to $209 or more on top of the DIY price for human review or full preparation
