The Verdict
Lemon Squeezy is purpose-built for indie hackers and solo founders who want to skip the complexity of payment infrastructure. Unlike Stripe, which requires separate integrations for billing, tax, and invoicing, Lemon Squeezy bundles everything into one all-inclusive platform. It acts as your Merchant of Record, handling global tax compliance, VAT/GST calculations, and fraud detection automatically—so you can focus on building your product instead of wrangling compliance paperwork.\n\nThe platform excels at speed to revenue. You get built-in recurring billing, license key management for software products, email marketing tools, and abandoned cart recovery—all included in a simple 5% + 50¢ per transaction fee. No hidden tiers, no add-ons, no monthly minimums. For bootstrapped founders shipping fast, Lemon Squeezy eliminates 3-4 separate tool integrations.
