Payments Tools & Alternatives

Payments in this data covers six tools and one marked open source, and it is notable because the tools in it also list each other as alternatives. Stripe is financial infrastructure for the internet, Lemon Squeezy is an all-in-one platform for selling digital products and SaaS, Paddle covers payments, tax, and subscriptions for global software, and Polar is a developer-first monetization platform for open source and creators. Listed pricing is transaction-based throughout, from pay-as-you-go per transaction to percentage cuts and a low fee per transaction, so this page is about which payment model and audience fits, not about free tiers in the usual sense. Gumroad is for selling digital products directly to your audience, listed as free with 10% plus $0.50 per sale, so it costs nothing to start but takes a cut of every sale, and Payhip, the sixth tool, is for selling digital products, courses, and memberships from a single storefront, listed as free with a 5% fee per sale, so it also costs nothing to start but takes a cut of every sale.
