# Lemon Squeezy

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/payments/lemon-squeezy/

Merchant of record for digital products and SaaS, with checkout, subscriptions and automated global sales-tax compliance on a single flat rate.

## Who it suits

Digital products and small SaaS that want checkout, subscriptions and global tax compliance with nothing to configure and no monthly charge — a flat 5% + 50¢ of each sale and no trial or contract to start.

Consider something else if The rate is the cost you are optimising. It is the category's standard number rather than its lowest: Dodo Payments publishes 4% + 40¢, and Polar's paid tier buys the percentage down to 3.8%.

## iScore

68 / 100 (80% interval 61–75), rank 3 of 5 in payments — interval overlaps the next rank, so this is an ordering, not a finding.
