Rappel vs A2X
A2X is good software. But if you're running dual-processor stores, need verified fee data, or want flat pricing — Rappel is the better choice.
Why teams switch
What A2X can't do
No per-order pricing
A2X charges you based on how many orders you process. At 3,000 orders/month, their Starter plan is $49/mo — and it keeps climbing. Rappel is flat. Your bill doesn't grow with your sales.
Verified fees, not estimates
A2X calculates fees using published rate cards. Rappel pulls exact fee data directly from Stripe's balance_transaction API — the same source your bank uses. No rounding, no approximations.
Dual-processor reconciliation
If you run Shopify Payments online and Stripe Terminal in-store, you get two separate payout streams. A2X can't reconcile them automatically. Rappel handles this with clearing accounts out of the box.
Built for accountants
A2X charges accountants separately for each client workspace. Rappel gives accountants one plan with access to all their clients — client discovery, unified reconciliation queue, and consolidated reporting.
