NoCode.shop saves you €600–780/year — and more at scale.
Lemon Squeezy is free to start, but the percentage-based fee grows with your revenue. For European sellers, the non-US surcharge brings it to 6.5% + $0.50 per transaction. Comparison on €2,000/month (40 transactions):
You save €600–780/year at €2,000/month. At €5,000/month, the gap widens to ~€2,424/year. The more you grow, the more you save with a flat-fee model.
Why NoCode.shop wins for subscription businesses.
A Real Website, Not Just a Checkout Page
NoCode.shop gives you a complete drag-and-drop website builder — landing pages, sales pages, blog, all under your custom domain. Lemon Squeezy provides product pages and a storefront, but it’s not a website builder. You’ll need a separate tool alongside it.
Full White Label — Your Brand at Every Touchpoint
With NoCode.shop, every interaction — checkout, customer portal, emails, invoices — carries your brand only. Lemon Squeezy lets you customize checkout colors and add your logo, but their branding remains visible.
SEPA Direct Debit for European Subscribers
NoCode.shop supports SEPA direct debit natively via GoCardless — the preferred payment method for many European B2B buyers. Lower fees, no card expiration issues, higher retention rates. Lemon Squeezy accepts cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay — but no SEPA.
EUR-Native Billing and Payouts
NoCode.shop processes and pays out in EUR. Your prices, invoices, and bank deposits are all in EUR. Lemon Squeezy supports 95+ display currencies but all payouts are in USD. Every payout gets converted, adding 1–3% in hidden costs.
Lower Cost at Scale — Flat Beats Percentage
At €2,000/month, Lemon Squeezy is only moderately more expensive. But at €5,000/month, you’re paying over €4,400/year to Lemon Squeezy vs ~€2,000 with NoCode.shop. The crossover point is around €1,000/month in revenue.
An Active, Evolving Platform
Since Stripe acquired Lemon Squeezy in mid-2024, users have reported slower development and reduced support responsiveness. NoCode.shop is an independently operated platform with active development and direct support. Platform stability matters.
Who is Lemon Squeezy for?
Lemon Squeezy is a strong choice if you’re a SaaS developer or digital creator selling globally and you want a zero-upfront-cost payment solution with built-in tax compliance. Its Merchant of Record model eliminates the complexity of global VAT/sales tax. The built-in license key management is excellent for software products.
NoCode.shop is the better fit if you’re building a subscription-based business in Europe — memberships, courses, recurring services — and you want a professional website, white-label branding, SEPA support, and EUR-native billing in a single platform. Especially if you’ve outgrown the "just a checkout" model.
Frequently asked questions
Lemon Squeezy has no monthly fee, but charges 5% + $0.50 per transaction (6.5% + $0.50 for non-US transactions). On €2,000/month in European revenue, that’s ~€163–178/month in total fees. "Free" doesn’t mean cheap once you’re generating meaningful revenue.
Yes. You can export your customer and product data and set up your storefront on NoCode.shop. Since NoCode.shop connects with Stripe directly, you’ll need to create new subscription plans. Note that Lemon Squeezy is the Merchant of Record for your existing transactions, so historical billing data stays with them.
Lemon Squeezy provides product pages and a basic storefront, but it is not a website builder. You cannot create custom landing pages, blog posts, or a full marketing site within Lemon Squeezy. NoCode.shop includes a full drag-and-drop website builder natively.
It’s real and significant. Lemon Squeezy handles global tax collection and remittance. NoCode.shop gives you automated invoicing with VAT support, but you manage your own tax compliance. For European sellers already registered for intra-EU VAT, this is usually straightforward.
No. Lemon Squeezy accepts credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. SEPA direct debit is not available. For European subscription businesses where SEPA is preferred, NoCode.shop supports it natively via GoCardless.
