| 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 | 0.7% of Billing volume (pay-as-you-go, USD, US site) on top of payment processing fees · free tier: None. No setup, monthly or closure fees on standard pay-as-you-go, but Billing is charged from the first transaction at 0.7% of Billing volume. |
| Pricing model | Subscription + usage-based (per-transaction) | Usage-based percentage of billing volume, with optional annual-commitment monthly tiers |
| 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. | SaaS, digital and early-stage companies already processing on Stripe Payments that want subscriptions, dunning, tax and revenue recognition from one vendor, with pay-as-you-go pricing and no monthly floor while volume is unpredictable. |
| 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 are a high-volume merchant at steady scale where percentage-on-percentage fees compound, a consumption-priced/AI business needing deep metering (budget Metronome separately), a business that could not survive a payout hold or rolling reserve, or you need heavily branded invoices, multiprocessor routing or no 12-month commitment. |

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.
