Review Polar?

Reviewers describe Polar as a practical, developer-friendly billing tool that is easy to set up and fast to ship with. Users and founders alike praise its clean API, webhooks, simple interface, and responsive support. Makers of products like Figr AI, AI Toolbox, and Resurf say it handles subscriptions, checkout, payments, and license delivery with less friction, while merchant-of-record support and tax handling are repeatedly cited as especially useful for solo developers selling globally.

I needed a merchant of record because I run VocaScript alone and didn't want to handle sales tax in every country myself, which ruled out plain Stripe. Then I compared the rest on fees and on how easy they'd be to build on. FastSpring and Lemon Squeezy came out expensive for a $10 plan, Creem had the lowest fee per sale and Dodo was still pretty new at the time. I went with Polar because the API is clean, it's open source, which I like for something my whole billing depends on, and I can take payouts when I want, which at the time and at my size made it the cheapest overall.
