Where each one falls short

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

Erply

Priced per store per month rather than a flat company rate, starting at $49/store for the Giftshop & Grocery Chain plan with only 1 user account and 1 POS terminal included
Multichannel Chains plan is limited to 2 user accounts at $179/store per month
POS for NetSuite starts at $1,800 per month and Franchise & Chain starts at $3,500 per month, both quote-adjusted from there
Cancellation requires a written request 30 days prior to the end of the billing cycle

Paddle

Paddle charges 5% plus 50 cents on every checkout transaction, which is well above a bare payment processor rate
The 50 cent fixed component falls heavily on low value sales, and products under $10 require custom pricing agreed with sales
Invoicing is not covered by the published rate and requires custom pricing
As a merchant of record Paddle sits between the seller and the customer, so payouts and tax handling run through Paddle rather than the seller's own processor
