Where each one falls short

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

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

RazorpayX

  • Pricing is not shown as a single table; the vendor states subscription fees vary by product and usage type and directs buyers to check each product page individually rather than one price list
  • Only basic features are free; usage-based subscription fees apply on top for the payouts, payroll and card products, without a headline figure on the main page
