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.
Adyen users report that their dashboards are unclear which makes reporting difficult. No need for extra tools and manual data stitching - with Paddle, get a clear and modern reporting interface with stronger tax visibility and reconciliation across currencies and regions.
Paddle’s API-first platform and tooling are designed to make integration, testing, and ongoing maintenance straightforward as you scale globally
StuDocu, a multi-million euro EdTech app based in Amsterdam A/B tested Adyen vs Paddle for 2 weeks, and saw:
With Adyen, most teams still end up stitching together separate tools and processes for the parts that happen before and after the payment. Paddle is built to run the whole motion in one place, so you can scale without adding operational drag.
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.

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.

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.
