- Podia's Mover price is billed yearly; its higher plans take no fee.

Questions
Is card processing included?
No. Stripe or PayPal charge the same card fee wherever you sell with your own account, so it's left out to keep the comparison fair. Where a platform takes payments itself, its own note says so.
Where do the prices come from?
From each platform's own pricing page, with the date we checked it under the results. Plans change, so check before you decide.
