Paddle Billing
ProfitWell MetricsPaddle vs FastSpring
Switch to the modern, API-first FastSpring alternative
Stop wrestling with FastSpring's legacy infrastructure. Unlock a smoother path to scale checkout, payments, and global operations with Paddle's modern Merchant of Record.
Four reasons FastSpring customers move to Paddle
Better checkout conversion and payment acceptance
FastSpring can limit how far you can optimize the payment experience. Switching to Paddle means you unlock a higher-performing buyer journey and multi-acquiring infrastructure that lifts acceptance and conversion.
Transparent pricing, no surprise add-ons
FastSpring can introduce extra costs as you expand, including FX and risk screening fees. Paddle consolidates billing, payments, tax, and growth tooling into one platform so your total cost is simpler and more predictable.
Modern developer experience for rapid implementation and testing
FastSpring was built for the e-commerce era and later adapted for digital products, which can show up as clunky experiences and slower iteration. Paddle is built for today’s SaaS and app businesses, so you can ship changes faster without fighting the platform.
Run advanced subscription logic without workarounds
FastSpring users report that they lack greater pricing flexibility and advanced tiering. Paddle supports these capabilities so you can run pricing changes without rebuilding your billing stack.
Switching from FastSpring to Paddle helped MotionVFX improve conversions by 12%
