What Paddle does that Lemon Squeezy does not

Paddle passes clear product positioning, llms.txt published, mcp discoverable, structured api reference, cli available, mcp integration available, and Lemon Squeezy fails them. That is the whole of the gap between the two scores, so if none of those matter to your agent the ranking above overstates the difference.

Why people look for an alternative

Lemon Squeezy fails clear product positioning, llms.txt published, llms-full.txt / full agent docs, mcp discoverable, structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, agent-compatible signup flow, programmatic credential creation, cli available, mcp integration available, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified. Each one is a place an unattended run stops, which is usually what sends someone looking in the first place.
