Review Summary

Polar is one of the most simple payment solutions on the market that also acts as your MOR (collects all sales tax and VAT for you, and takes over the responsibility). If you're a startup doing $1K–400K/MRR, you should just use Polar, and focus on building your business.

Polar is one of the most developer-friendly of all the best payment processing software solutions on the market.
