Creem
Merchant of Record for SaaS with subscriptions, wallets, customer analytics, and international tax handling.
Our Verdict
A scrappy Paddle alternative that removes tax headaches for solo devs and small SaaS, with less maturity.
Pros
- Merchant of Record handles global sales tax and VAT
- Fast setup for indie hackers and small SaaS
- Supports wallets and recurring subscriptions
- Built-in customer analytics dashboards
Cons
- Newer platform with smaller track record than Paddle
- MoR fees eat into margin on high-ticket plans
- Limited enterprise compliance and audit features
- Integration ecosystem still growing
Best for: Indie SaaS and small teams selling globally who want tax and compliance outsourced.
Not for: Enterprise SaaS, high-volume usage billing, or teams needing bulletproof MoR track record.

Good fit if you need
- Merchant of Record handling VAT/GST for SaaS selling internationally
