The short version

  • Only Dinero has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; 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

Where each one falls short

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

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

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
