| Pricing | USD $250.00/month membership (direct-merchant Standard tier, US) plus 0.00% + $0.15 per Visa/Mastercard/Discover transaction with interchange passed through · free tier: None for live processing; free sandbox account and public API documentation available | Pay by Bank (ACH) 1% with a $10 fee cap per invoice payment · free tier: Invoicing itself is free — no monthly fee and no per-invoice fee; included with any PayPal account |
| Pricing model | Subscription + usage-based (per-transaction) | Usage-based (per-transaction, no subscription) |
| Best for | Established US or Canadian online businesses processing roughly $1M+ annually with low decline and refund rates, and software platforms or marketplaces with in-house developers that want to monetise payments for their own sub-merchants with onboarding, KYC/KYB/OFAC and split payouts built in. | Solo freelancers, contractors and micro-businesses billing modest monthly volume — especially those with international clients — who value zero fixed cost and payer convenience over rate optimisation, and who already accept PayPal. |
| Avoid if | You are a small or early-stage seller under about $20k/month, want same-day self-serve signup without a sales call, run a high-refund or high-decline vertical, need coverage beyond the US and Canada, or have no developer capacity. | You issue high-value invoices where percentage fees dwarf a SaaS subscription, cannot survive a cash-flow interruption of up to 180 days, operate in a higher-risk category, or need full double-entry accounting, multi-entity support or approval workflows. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
