    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.

    SAP Subscription Billing is well suited for workplace or ERP solutions, Where there isn’t a dedicated engineering team. This tool is so easily integrated with SAP cloud that see when someone with little to no, subject matter, expertise can perform the initial set up. However, if there is a dedicated engineering team, that works with modern technology stacks like Java or Golang, then because of a lack of an SDK that can be easily integrated with the existing applications becomes a bit of a bottle neck to migrate existing services to use SAP Subscription Billing. however, SAP Subscription Billing makes up for this by having seamless integration with existing SAP cloud and also providing advanced features for generating statements and reports to be used for various kinds of billing solutions

    Pros
    Paddle
    • Super easy to implement SDKs across supported platforms that support modern interface paradigms.
    • Real team members that provide backend support for merchant issues. We had issues addressed quickly and taken seriously whenever we needed anything.
    • Help with navigating VAT transparently. We never worried that we were messing up in this complicated area of international sales.
    • Great first line customer support reduces the need for an extensive customer support organization on our end. They dealt with all purchase related issues as well as lightweight technical issues (e.g pointing users to FAQs, update links, etc.).

    It also synchronizes data between our payment gateways and customers on SAP Commerce Cloud. All billing data is in one system, so all support has to do is lookup any query on an invoice and they can solve it immediately. This common data allows our internal teams and external processors to stay aligned.

    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

    • We wanted to grow faster, which was possible once we integrate recurring payment gateway. And we've got Paddle to do that.

    • ability to integrate with S/4HANA which is our legacy system helps to use existing data models to save time in creating new ones.
