Which one is for you

Pick ablefy if

  • Fits if you sell to buyers in Europe and want invoices, VAT and collections inside the platform
  • Works for event organizers who also sell courses or downloads

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you sell a lot, because 2.7% + €0.50 a payment is added to the monthly plan and extras such as Klarna add more
  • Tight if you want courses, since members, courses and communities need the €59 plan and its price steps at 3,000 and 10,000 members
  • Watch out: the page does not say if €27 and €59 are monthly or annual prices, and the steps above 150 members are not shown
  • Skip it if you need a free plan, as there is only a 14-day trial

Pick Plug&Pay if

  • Fits if you sell in the Netherlands or Europe and already use Mollie or Stripe
  • Works for a small seller with up to 3 products who wants funnels and bumps

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you are on Lite, which has 3 products, 10 pages and 1 user
  • Pricey if you want upsells, subscriptions or your own domain, which start at €59 a month on Premium
  • Watch out: affiliate tools, the debtor system and the customer portal are Ultimate only, at €119
  • Watch out: it does not work without a Mollie or Stripe account, and yearly plans renew automatically

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
