"Easy to use and priced fairly"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Paddle?

I recently switched to Paddle after my previous provider started charging a hefty monthly fee with almost no warning. I found the changeover to Paddle to be easy (I had to modify my WP payment plugin). Paddle only takes a commission on my sales; it is clearly stated and thus predictable.

Update: I contacted support for a programming issue and they quickly pointed out how to solve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paddle?

The commission is a bit expensive on small transaction amounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hayley Rodgers of Paddle

Thank you for your feedback! Regarding the cost, we understand that it may be higher than some other providers, but we believe that the value we offer with our all-in-one platform, including tax handling, risk management, and subscription management saves on cost. Please don't hesitate to contact us through support to discuss commissions.

"Clean, visual dashboards that make subscription metrics easy."
5/5
What do you like best about Paddle?

Great visuals and makes subscription metrics easy to understand. The dashboards are clean and simple, which helps quickly spot trends and insights. Efficient and friendly support, Edward has been especially helpful. Overall, it’s a very user-friendly tool for tracking revenue and growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paddle?

Limited visibility into the underlying data. The export options could be better and provide more detailed data. It would also be helpful to more easily differentiate between different countries and segments, as the current reporting feels quite limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Plug and Forget Payment Infrastructure for SaaS"
5/5
What do you like best about Paddle?

We started using Paddle in mid-2021. The 5% fee seemed high at first but we went with them anyway. 4 years later? Best decision we made. We literally forget about payments because everything just works.

We have customers from all over the world and I never once had to think about VAT or tax stuff. Paddle handles all of that. Their support is great too - fast replies, actually helpful, and they help our customers directly when there are billing questions.

Their servers never went down on us. Payouts come on time every month, usually within a week after the 1st. When they acquired ProfitWell we got all these subscription analytics for free which was nice.

I've told other startup founders to use Paddle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paddle?

Managing addons in the old system was painful. Super manual process. They built Billing v2 which fixes this but we haven't migrated yet because it's a big change for us.

That's basically it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable Payments and Stellar Support for Global Sales"
5/5
What do you like best about Paddle?

Paddle provides a reliable, hassle-free payment platform with excellent global coverage. Their system handles taxes, compliance, and subscription management smoothly, so I can focus on developing my products instead of dealing with financial administration. Their support team is responsive and helpful whenever I need assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paddle?

Overall, Paddle works very well for me, but the handling of discount codes in the web interface is quite limited. There is no support for discount code groups or for generating large batches of codes automatically, which would be very useful. I also suggested a new discount code type some time ago, but it hasn't been implemented yet. These are relatively small issues, but improving discount code management would make the platform even more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful and easy to use Payment service"
5/5
What do you like best about Paddle?

- Easy and clean to use with all the functionality needed

- Easy integration with an existing web site - much easier than I anticipated

- The sandbox option is a great help in testing the integration and payments

- The possibility to edit a customer invoice after the purchase (add company name, address, even VAT ID, which will automatically reimburse the customer with added VAT during the purchase)

- Friendly and helpful support - they have never let me down Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paddle?

I wish the payment form would be able to gather company name and address or the customer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless experience with Paddle and excellent account management"
5/5
What do you like best about Paddle?

Our company has been working with Paddle for almost a year, and the overall experience has been outstanding. The platform makes it incredibly easy to handle payments, subscriptions, and compliance without having to manage the complexities ourselves. What truly stands out is the level of support we receive—our account manager, Jonathon Thorpe, has been exceptional. He regularly schedules calls with us, provides proactive guidance, and ensures that our questions are always answered quickly and thoroughly. This level of dedication has made the partnership feel smooth and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paddle?

There is nothing we dislike about Paddle. The platform has consistently met our expectations, and with the outstanding support from Jonathon Thorpe, we feel fully confident in continuing to scale our business with Paddle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Paddle transformed the way I manage my business – accessible and easy to use"
5/5
What do you like best about Paddle?

Paddle is extremely useful for complete payment and tax management, especially for use in my SaaS that operates globally. I use Paddle as a payment provider because it solves a major pain point we would have: accepting various payment methods and multiple currencies worldwide, in addition to collecting sales taxes.

With Paddle, we don't need to deal with the complexity of tax compliance in different countries, as the platform takes care of all that for us. Additionally, it offers a very intuitive dashboard, which makes it easy to track daily subscriptions, received amounts, cancellations, and important metrics. The integration of Paddle into my platform was also extremely quick and easy, in less than a week it was fully ready for use by my users.

I use Paddle every day to manage subscriptions and payments, and the experience has been excellent. It simplifies the delivery of subscriptions and ensures that customers have a fast and secure payment experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paddle?

It's not something I really dislike, but I believe Paddle could improve by offering customer service in Portuguese to enhance contact in the support chat, and the possibility of accepting payments via Pix. These improvements would be a great differentiator for companies operating in Brazil, making the experience even more practical and accessible for our customers.

"Outstanding Support and Clear Communication Make All the Difference"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Paddle?

Their customer support consistently delivers quick responses and solutions, maintaining a friendly and collaborative tone that I truly value, especially as a customer success manager myself. I also appreciate the clear communication about eligible partners and the rules for payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paddle?

This isn't an issue for me personally, but my clients have requested the ability to make changes to their subscription even while it is paused. They want to be able to adjust settings so that, when they resume, their current number of users is maintained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Subscription Management and Outstanding Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Paddle?

Paddle makes it extremely easy to manage all of my team's subscriptions in one place. I like being able to look up customers extremely quickly, see relevant transaction details immediately, and make any necessary changes to the subscription with ease (cancelation, refunds, changing client details, etc.). Customer support is prompt and always helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paddle?

Very few downsides. On occasion, transactions get tied to a different email address than the one the user used to set up their account, and when that happens it can be hard to find their account or transaction in Paddle. Sometimes, it's inefficient to toggle back and forth between Paddle Classic and Paddle Billing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
