The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Braintree vendor overview page names no transaction fee percentage or fixed charge, requiring a separate signup flow to see pricing; Checkout.com checkout.com/pricing publishes no per-transaction percentage or fixed fee; pricing is set per business profile and risk category through direct sales contact, per the vendor's own pricing page (Aug 2026)

Where each one falls short

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

Braintree

  • Vendor overview page names no transaction fee percentage or fixed charge, requiring a separate signup flow to see pricing
  • Now marketed and hosted directly under the PayPal brand at paypal.com rather than a standalone braintreepayments.com site, which now redirects

Checkout.com

  • checkout.com/pricing publishes no per-transaction percentage or fixed fee; pricing is set per business profile and risk category through direct sales contact, per the vendor's own pricing page (Aug 2026)
  • Choosing between the flat-rate and Interchange++ pricing models requires contacting the sales team, since neither model's rate is quoted publicly on the page
