TA Teslemetry A. 2/7/2026 "Comprehensive Tax Handling, But Lacks Subscription Flexibility" 3/5 What do you like best about Paddle? I like that Paddle handles all global tax obligations and payment processing for Teslemetry.com. The integration with Profitwell metrics provides valuable insights into my monthly recurring revenue, cashflow, and trial conversion, which are really helpful. I appreciate how Paddle Retain helps lower my churn by adding an integrated cancellation flow and following up on delinquent payments. Setting up Paddle was easy enough, and the sandbox made testing simple. I've integrated the Paddle.JS SDK into my website and Paddle Node SDK into my backend service, which makes the process smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Paddle? The structure of subscriptions is less flexible than Stripe, and I often have to design my products around Paddle rather than the other way around. Lemon Squeezy is more capable but also more expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Paddle solving and how is that benefiting you? Paddle handles all global tax obligations and payment processing. The integration with Profitwell provides insights into my customers and cashflow, and Paddle Retain reduces my churn with cancellation flow and follows up on payments.

Paddle acts as Merchant of Record, so we do not have to spend time in managing sales tax applicable in multiple countries. A valuable solution for any SaaS platform that serves globally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Paddle? - While invoice creation, sales tax administration is solved well, we end up wasting a lot of time on payment collections. - They do not send invoice reminders, it is a paid feature with some subscription of third party tool. We have do manual follow-ups, what a waste of time! - The end customer receives invoices from Paddle branding, so customers do not recognize they are our invoices and they get ignored. We have to reach out to them and inform. If the email invoices get white-labelled, it would be a huge time saver (and trust builder). - Paddle support can be improved. It takes many hours for them to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Paddle solving and how is that benefiting you? We are a SaaS platform with customers presence globally. Paddle provides a subscription and invoicing solution, where we do not have to spend time on tax collection and settlement that are applicable in different countries and states in the US.

SK Sergey K. Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/25/2023 "Not as good as expected." 3/5 What do you like best about Paddle? A nice widget design which they updated recently. It is convenient that all payments are collected in one place and come to the company in one transfer. No need to worry about taxes - which is incredibly convenient for working around the world. Fast and nice customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Paddle? We have been working with Paddle for over a year, but what did we expect from them? Payment system, Tax system, and Subscription management system. Unfortunately, the 3rd option is executed just terribly. There is no option to unsubscribe at the end of the cycle and no option to change (downgrade) the plan at the end of the cycle. There is no way to implement "add-ons" other than to create another subscription plan. API events also leave much to be desired, for any change in the event we will receive an "update" event, and to understand what happened, we need to do dozens of ifs in the code. Were it not for the widget changes, we would not have seen any changes and improvements. It seems that their entire R&D team is a couple of developers. The customer support is fast and nice, but unhelpful lately as the quality has dropped a lot. We receive complaints from both employees and customers. If earlier Paddle tried to solve the problem directly with the client, now they answer that they "cannot CC client". We have the feeling that they are not serving us, but we are serving them. Most recent examples from memory: Support can ask us for the customer's email address, although we sent a subscription ID in the ticket, which is enough to find the email, and not wait a few more hours for a response. Sometimes customers get a message that "something went wrong" INSIDE the Paddle widget. However, their support responds that there are issues with our website. The reply is not professional (just check the history of subscriptions for a day to make sure there are no issues), and they also spoil our reputation with customers. Summary: Given all these cons, we are nonetheless still happier with the Paddle than with the FastSpring from which we switched. At least Paddle has a nice design. And we hope that they will improve in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Paddle solving and how is that benefiting you? Convenient payment on the website and a perfect solution for taxes. This is a good option for our small SaaS business. Paddle allowed us to launch the project much earlier.
