Paddle vs. SAP Subscription Billing

I wouldn't recommend them to anybody because their support is getting worse and worse and their business processes require you to contact support whether you want to or not. You will be forced to contact support and then wait for days to get any meaningful response that's not a copy/pasted sentence from FAQ.

The last one, we had to add a historical discount for a customer that sent us its usage data with significant delay. Because the software is designed to have a linear flow of onward-looking data, retroactively fixing previous records felt like working against the system. But when we launched a new product with tiered pricing and setup fees, the configuration was fast

We tried using Stripe before Paddle, but it was a pain integrating it and it lacked the licensing. Paddle allows us just to add a payment button and don’t ever think about payment methods, we don’t have to make a separate button for card payments and another one for PayPal. Paddle does all this in their checkout process.

SAP BRIM (Billing and Revenue Innovation Management) is part of SAP portfolio and therefore from package perspective a better choice. We implemented Zuora first but moving over to BRIM; faster implementation, better operations cost and support within SAP RISE Contract Package
