Stripe vs Paddle for Claude Code
Verdict
Stripe has the stronger integration: an official Anthropic-marketplace plugin with an MCP server and 10 skills (5/5). Paddle offers an official remote MCP server (sandbox and live) and a dedicated Claude Code guide, but we could not verify a plugin (4/5). Both let Claude Code work against real billing data; Stripe adds bundled coding guidance.
