Paddle's tradeoffs
are holding your business back.
High fees at 5% + $0.50, weeks-long onboarding that requires revenue history, fund holds up to 180 days, and no support for usage-based or credit billing. Paddle was built for established SaaS, not for the next generation of AI and digital products.
