Lemon Squeezy vs Zapable: what's actually different
Lemon Squeezy earns its keep as a merchant of record — it handles global sales tax and VAT compliance for you, which is genuinely valuable if you sell software or license keys worldwide. That service has a cost: 5% + 50¢ per transaction on top of being card-only, plus the payout schedule that comes with acting as the seller on record. For creators who don't need full tax handling, you're paying a premium for infrastructure aimed at SaaS businesses.
Zapable takes a leaner path: no per-sale platform percentage, instant Lightning settlement to your own wallet, and Bitcoin payments that can't be reversed. You give up Lemon Squeezy's automated tax-of-record handling, but for most digital-product creators that trade buys dramatically lower fees, faster access to your money, and payments no processor sits in the middle of.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Zapable is built for creators who want to maximize their earnings by eliminating high platform fees. While Lemon Squeezy takes 5% of every sale plus 50¢ per transaction, Zapable charges 0% platform fees. You only pay minimal Bitcoin network fees, often a fraction of a cent on Lightning, meaning you keep significantly more of every sale.
