Paddle vs. PayKickstart

I wouldn't recommend them to anybody because their support is getting worse and worse and their business processes require you to contact support whether you want to or not. You will be forced to contact support and then wait for days to get any meaningful response that's not a copy/pasted sentence from FAQ.

Any subscription based use and checkout for a service or software. I personally use it to manage our client retainers and it does a good job at showing real time statistics on the dashboard. I have a large team and several project managers who access the dashboard including my own executive assistant so the security features for logins and access are a plus.
