How to compare the costs

Example: 10 direct sales at US$10 produce US$100 gross. The platform component is 10% × US$100 + 10 × US$0.50 = US$15. This is not the total deduction; check applicable processing, tax, and payout charges.

Use matching order counts, gross sales, currencies, billing periods, and payout frequency. Total cost = subscription + platform fees + processing + payouts + applicable taxes/conversion. The s.id calculator estimates components based on your plan; check the final transaction breakdown.

What You Should Consider

For low-priced products, account for the fixed charge as well as the percentage.

If you need recurring memberships now, check the s.id feature status before moving customers.

The s.id PDF watermark depends on your plan and helps identify copies; it does not guarantee protection against resharing. Recurring memberships are coming soon; check the feature catalog before choosing a plan.
