PayClarify
Free payment processor comparison tool for small businesses
Hey IH! 👋
I just launched PayClarify — a free tool that helps small business owners compare payment processors and stop overpaying on fees.
The problem I kept seeing:
Most small business owners have no idea if they're getting a good deal on payment processing. The industry is intentionally confusing — processors benefit from complexity. A business doing $20k/month can easily overpay $1,500–4,000/year just by being on the wrong processor.
What I built:
- A fee calculator that shows exactly what Stripe, Square, Helcim, PayPal, and Clover would charge based on your monthly volume
- A comparison table with verified 2026 fees
- 20+ in-depth articles covering everything from interchange-plus pricing to processor reviews
Week 1 numbers:
- 20 articles published
- 16 Google impressions (tiny but climbing fast)
- Launched on Product Hunt this Tuesday
- AdSense application pending approval
The monetization plan:
1. AdSense (applied, pending approval)
2. Affiliate partnerships with processors once traffic grows
3. Potentially a premium "find my best processor" tool
Would love feedback from anyone who runs a small business — do you actually know what you're paying in processing fees? Most people I ask have no idea.
