See price history: Paddle · Sage Intacct
Merchant of Record (MoR) billing platform for SaaS, valued $1.4B private. Positioned as the alternative to Stripe for SaaS companies that don't want to handle global sales tax/VAT compliance themselves. Distinctive: Paddle becomes the seller of record, absorbing tax complexity. Priced 5% + 50¢ per transaction (higher than Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢), but includes tax handling and dunning. Popular with indie SaaS and European SaaS selling globally.
Cloud accounting/ERP positioned as the mid-market alternative to NetSuite for finance-heavy organizations (nonprofits, professional services, SaaS). Distinctive for its multi-entity consolidations and dimensional GL structure that SMB tools like QuickBooks lack. Owned by Sage. Pricing opaque, quote-only, typically $15K-$50K+/year plus implementation. Popular with 50-500 employee finance teams that outgrew QuickBooks but can't justify Oracle.
