Pricing
The first diagnosis is free. If a compact written audit is useful, the paid review is a one-time $10 checkout before delivery.
Free diagnosis first, optional $10 audit
SaaS Fee Diagnosis
Send your SaaS payment assumptions first. If the calculator already gives a clear answer, you do not pay. If the edge cases matter, you can continue with a compact written $10 audit.
What you get
First, a quick screening of your monthly revenue, order count, international card share, refund assumptions, current provider, and whether a merchant-of-record setup is even worth a paid written review.
- Whether the calculator result is already clear enough
- Whether Stripe-style processing is probably enough
- Whether Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, or Polar may justify higher fees
- Whether a compact written $10 recommendation would add value
Payment happens only after the pre-check, so you do not pay for a case where the calculator already gives a clear answer.
Good fit
You are choosing a checkout stack before launch, switching away from Stripe, adding EU or global customers, or selling low-ticket SaaS where fixed fees matter.
Not a good fit
You need tax, legal, accounting, or financial advice. This is a practical checkout economics review, not a professional compliance opinion.
Example output
For a $9 monthly plan with 850 orders and 40% international cards, annual billing may matter more than switching providers. Stripe can look cheaper, but merchant-of-record tooling may be worth testing if tax and support work would slow the launch.
