ProfitWell MetricsAdyen Alternatives
Increase net payment acceptance by up to 13%
With Adyen, the liability stays with you. Spend less time on compliance, tax and payment operations by partnering with Paddle as your Merchant of Record.
Four reasons Adyen customers move to Paddle
Offload risk with a Merchant of Record
Paddle takes on indirect tax and compliance liability, so you can scale without carrying the same risk burden you have with payment service providers (PSPs) like Adyen.
Smart payment routing that boosts payment acceptance
Adyen is a single payment gateway. Paddle automatically routes payments across multiple gateways and does local acquiring for you to maximize payment acceptance.
Get audit-ready reporting and reconciliation by default
Adyen user feedback shows that unclear dashboards make reporting difficult. Get a clear reporting interface with stronger tax visibility and reconciliation across currencies and regions with Paddle.
Launch and experiment faster with a modern developer experience
Paddle’s API-first platform and tooling are designed to make integration, testing, and ongoing maintenance straightforward as you scale globally.
Why StuDocu switched: the A/B test that changed their payments strategy
StuDocu, a multi-million euro EduTech app company based in Amsterdam, tested Adyen against Paddle in the US and saw a 13% increase in net payment acceptance, and 15% more revenue per user.
Switching to a Merchant of Record means that they aren't leaving any revenue on the table.
What you get with Paddle that Adyen doesn’t cover
Recover revenue before it’s lost
Winning the payment is only step one, but Adyen doesn’t optimize the entire payment flow. Paddle’s churn prevention tools help you protect revenue after checkout with smart retries and cancellation flows that reduce involuntary churn and save customers before they leave.
Exclusively built for digital product companies
Paddle works with thousands of SaaS and app businesses so we know what drives value - optimized checkouts, global reach (and the complexities that come with that), and clear reporting.
This is all included in the Paddle platform, unlike with Adyen where you would need to bolt on multiple vendors.
A strategic partner, not just a vendor
Get tailored guidance, benchmarks, and ongoing optimization support from our payment experts to achieve your business goals and understand how much revenue you’re leaving on the table. Whether you’re a fast scaling startup or an established enterprise, Paddle is your advocate for ongoing scale.
