10% fee for transactions under $10
While standard fee is 5% + $0.50, transactions under $10 incur a 10% fee. For SaaS with low-price tiers or microtransactions, this doubles the effective rate. The fee structure has edge cases that increase costs beyond advertised rates.

Higher cost than Stripe for many use cases
Paddle is more expensive than Stripe for many SaaS businesses. While Paddle includes MoR, a typical international Stripe business pays ~5.1% + $0.30 with all add-ons. Paddle's 5% + $0.50 is similar but with less flexibility. The MoR value must justify the cost.
