Your revenue engine deserves more than orchestration
Using Solidgate for payment orchestration means you still own the liability and operational overhead. Paddle de-risks, so you can scale revenue with one accountable partner.
Solidgate calculates tax, but you still own local registrations and filing, which means more setup before you can sell in new markets. Paddle’s Merchant of Record model removes that overhead, so you can launch globally without building your own compliance infrastructure.
Solidgate gives you routing tools, but configuring and optimising them across regions is still your responsibility. With Paddle, higher acceptance is built into the model. As Merchant of Record, Paddle owns the transaction and manages payment performance on your behalf.
Using Solidgate means you’re stitching together extra tools, and then owning the handoffs between them. With Paddle, you consolidate the motion under one partner, whilst keeping your teams focused on your product.
Many Solidgate customers find that their subscription reporting isn’t intuitive enough, which can be a blocker for audits and data tracking. With Paddle, you get checkout, billing and reporting all in one platform, so the numbers that Finance, RevOps and Support are aligned.
Runna, a running coaching mobile app acquired by Strava launched a web monetization stream using Paddle.
They unlocked more customer lifetime value, and improved conversion rates through Paddle's API-first platform, which enabled faster A/B testing and experimentation.
For app companies expanding beyond the App Store, Solidgate supports web payment processing, but doesn’t help you manage subscriptions across platforms. Paddle connects web and in-app revenue in one place, with partner integrations that give you a unified reporting of subscriptions across iOS, Android, and the web.
Solidgate gives you the tools to monitor and manage chargebacks, but your team still has to resolve them. With Paddle, we handle the dispute process end-to-end and provide tools to reduce chargebacks before they happen.
With Solidgate, you just get the payment layer. Paddle’s payment experts help customers like HubX, a large mobile app portfolio in Turkey keep improving after go-live, by constantly reviewing and optimizing their checkout for higher conversion.
Paddle works with many different clients in a range of different categories, so they have a real 360-degree view of the advice they can deliver. Being able to draw on that knowledge is something that will help us to expand in the future.
