Pros and cons
Recharge
Pros
- Built for Shopify: subscriptions live inside your existing store and checkout
- Retention tools (cancel flows, win-backs, smart retries) included from Starter
- Large ecosystem of Shopify marketing and support apps connect to it
- 60-day free trial
Cons
- Per-transaction fee on top of a monthly fee costs more than SaaS billing tools at the same volume
- Only Shopify and BigCommerce are supported out of the box
- Plus and Custom lock you into 12-month terms
- Not designed for B2B invoicing, usage billing or revenue recognition
Paddle
Pros
- Merchant of record removes most sales tax and VAT registration and filing work
- One all-in price includes payments, tax, dunning and chargebacks
- No monthly fee, so cost scales with sales
- Retain dunning is included rather than a paid add-on
Cons
- 5% + 50¢ is the highest per-transaction cost here once you compare like for like at volume
- Software and digital products only: physical goods are prohibited
- Less control over checkout and customer relationship because Paddle is the seller
- No ASC 606 revenue recognition module listed on its pricing or Billing pages
