AgentaOS vs Payhip
Payhip charges 5%, 2% or 0% depending on the plan ($0, $29 or $99 a month), plus Stripe or PayPal fees on every sale. AgentaOS is one fee per sale, 4.5% + €0.50, with no Stripe or PayPal account needed, and it is the legal seller, so VAT, sales tax and invoices are ours. Payhip has the fuller storefront; AgentaOS pays out where Stripe and PayPal do not.

On Payhip’s free plan, a $50 card sale costs the 5% Payhip fee plus the card processor’s fee, about $4.25 in total. On AgentaOS the same sale costs 4.5% + €0.50, about €2.75, with tax handled as the seller. If you sell a lot, Payhip Pro at $99 a month removes the Payhip fee, so compare at your own volume.

Common questions
Is AgentaOS cheaper than Payhip?
It depends on your plan and volume. Payhip Free is 5% plus Stripe or PayPal fees, so roughly 8% + $0.30 on a card sale; AgentaOS is 4.5% + €0.50 all in. Payhip Pro is $99 a month with no Payhip fee, so at high volume Payhip Pro plus card fees can cost less.
Do I need Stripe or PayPal to use Payhip?
Payments on Payhip go through PayPal and Stripe, which charge their standard rates on top of Payhip's fee. If Stripe or PayPal cannot pay you out in your country, check that before you build your store. AgentaOS takes the card payment itself and pays out to your bank or wallet in 86 countries.
Does Payhip handle VAT?
Payhip says it collects, reports and remits digital EU and UK VAT and US and Canadian sales tax on your behalf. AgentaOS is the merchant of record, the legal seller on every sale, so all sales tax, VAT, invoices and chargebacks are ours.
What does AgentaOS add?
A hosted MCP server, CLI and SDK so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can set up products, checkout links and subscriptions; Pricing Intelligence, which scores your pricing and ranks the fixes; and payouts in countries Stripe and PayPal do not serve, such as Kosovo.
Can I move from Payhip to AgentaOS?
Yes. Create the same products in AgentaOS (or ask your AI agent to), swap the buy links on your site, and keep Payhip until your last subscription renews there.
See if AgentaOS fits your case
If you want a full storefront and Stripe or PayPal already works for you, Payhip is a strong choice. If you need one simple fee, a legal seller that handles all the tax, or payouts where Stripe and PayPal do not reach, start free.
