Lemon Squeezy
Merchant of record for digital products and SaaS subscriptions.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep it — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the finance job, so this one is still worth keeping open.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- AI builders generate checkout pages but not tax compliance. OpenAI, January 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? paid only
- 3 replacements listed, all paid.
- What the call is worth nothing to cancel
- No paid entry tier tracked, so there is no subscription to cancel.

The backstory
Lemon Squeezy became the indie default because it takes on being seller of record: it collects and remits sales tax and VAT everywhere, so a solo founder does not register in forty jurisdictions. Generating a checkout page is a prompt; being legally liable for the tax is not.
