What’s the easiest no-code tool for handling subscriptions + payments?
by•
Hey Makers 👋
I’m exploring options for managing subscriptions, payments, and authentication in a super simple way. Ideally, something that’s:
1. No-code / low-code friendly
2. Easy to integrate without a ton of setup
3. Handles the boring stuff like billing, invoicing, cancellations, and user access automatically
I’ve looked at a few tools, but many feel too heavy for a small MVP. Curious to know:
• What are you using right now?
• Any lightweight tools that worked really well for your early-stage product?
• Bonus if it has a generous free tier or is affordable for indie founders. 🙏
Would love to hear what’s working for this community before I commit to something!

Hey! I've been working on exactly this problem as an open-source project:

It’s kind of like an open-source Stripe Checkout, but without webhooks, coding, or extra setup. It’s still early days, but I’d love if you took a peek and shared any thoughts or feedback. Just curious what you think!
@cyberiaa Very impressive! Do you have a quick getting-started guide for me to test this?

Lots of good options here!
For a pure no-code setup, try Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, or Gumroad. Each of these handles subscriptions, payments, and invoicing with very little effort. If you’re open to a little low-code, Memberstack and Supabase are very indie-friendly and flexible. For most early-stage products, these will get you live fast without coding headaches and... yeah its just good to ship soon and refine later.

If I were you, I’d try out Memberstack or Supabase first, both have good free tiers and get you something working quickly.
For my MVP stage I went with Lemon Squeezy — super lightweight compared to Stripe’s full setup, handles auth + billing out of the box, and the free tier is indie-friendly. If you’re okay with a bit of setup, Supabase + Stripe is also solid (auth + payments together). Curious what others here have found, always looking for simpler stacks myself 👀
We use Stripe but try as well Paddle, Lemon Squeezy.
I would go for stripe although I have not explored other options but it just has been the one payment processor I have been using for years.
My vote is for Stripe. Offers full stack capabilities, well documented, secure, and scalable. Also has a flexible UI/UX with some prebuilt flows which makes it easy to integrate.
