Polar might do everything at 4% + 40¢ (covering Stripe core fees) + Stripe's 0.5% Billing feature. And Polar requires a lot more manual set up and is the merchant of record that I don't think I need.
And I've seen that directly integrating with Stripe is actually a nightmare because of inconsistencies and API weirdness.
I won't work with LemonSqueezy because of a horrible months-long customer experience they still have yet to fix.
Is there something else I should be considering?
