Both are the seller of record.
Paddle is far larger at it. The two places fuime differs are who it sells for and how it charges.
Go to the arithmetic
Including the sale sizes where fuime is the dearer one.
Paddle's scale
Not a close comparison on scale.
Tax
Registered in 100+ jurisdictions in its own name. fuime is registered in none.
API
About 25 entity types and 60 webhook events. fuime has three endpoints.
Focus
Built for recurring software billing at scale, which is where its depth is.
The arithmetic
Same headline number, different shape.
Paddle sends products under $10 to custom pricing. We have not guessed.
| Fee | $1 | $5 | $10 | $100 | $1,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddle, 5% + 50¢ | Custom pricing | Custom pricing | $1.00 | $5.50 | $50.50 |
| fuime, 5% floored at 50¢ | $0.50 | $0.50 | $0.50 | $5.00 | $50.00 |
| fuime, as a share of the sale | 50% | 10% | 5% | 5% | 5% |
The floor
Where the floor bites.
Paddle adds the two together. fuime takes the larger, capped at the sale: fifty cents cheaper above $10. Below it a $5 sale pays 10%, a $1 sale pays 50%. That is a reason not to use fuime.
Who the platform is built for.
13 to 17, with a guardian
The only merchant of record that will onboard one.
Named offers
$1 to $10,000, each with its own payment page.
A visible fee
It posts as its own negative ledger line, naming the rate charged.
A person reads you first
Every new business is reviewed by hand. Slower to start, and that is the trade.
Where fuime stops
Six reasons to pick the other one.
USD, US, English
No multi-currency, no localised checkout, no international payment method.
Small sales cost more than 5%
The 50¢ floor buys you no monthly fee, and it lands hardest here.
No tax registration anywhere
fuime files nothing. Its tracker estimates income tax against the IRS $400 threshold.
Buyers cannot cancel
A subscriber emails support@fuime.com and a person ends it.
A narrow catalogue
Services and digital goods. No physical goods, food, crafts or childcare.
Read the agreement, not the page
Every merchant of record publishes one, and it binds where a page does not.
Start
Start at the small end.
5% of what you collect, minimum 50¢. Stripe's card fee of about 2.9% + 30¢ comes out of that, never on top.
Outside the standard rate, rushil@fuime.com. The mechanism both share: how you get paid.
