Pros	Gumroad No answers on this topic	Paddle Super easy to implement SDKs across supported platforms that support modern interface paradigms. Real team members that provide backend support for merchant issues. We had issues addressed quickly and taken seriously whenever we needed anything. Help with navigating VAT transparently. We never worried that we were messing up in this complicated area of international sales. Great first line customer support reduces the need for an extensive customer support organization on our end. They dealt with all purchase related issues as well as lightweight technical issues (e.g pointing users to FAQs, update links, etc.). Incentivized Ben Lachman Principal Read full review
Cons	Gumroad No answers on this topic	Paddle Analytics could support more flexible analysis of reported data and better custom events. More customization of the drop in purchase UI on the web without the need for a full custom site integration. Sometimes communication from their front line support staff has gone to the wrong address. Incentivized Ben Lachman Principal Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Gumroad No answers on this topic	Paddle We tried using Stripe before Paddle, but it was a pain integrating it and it lacked the licensing. Paddle allows us just to add a payment button and don’t ever think about payment methods, we don’t have to make a separate button for card payments and another one for PayPal. Paddle does all this in their checkout process. Incentivized Andrew Liakh Co-founder / Everything Read full review
Return on Investment	Gumroad No answers on this topic	Paddle We wanted to grow faster, which was possible once we integrate recurring payment gateway. And we've got Paddle to do that. Incentivized Tarun Mangukiya Co-Founder Read full review
