Mollie vs Adapty

Mollie vs Adapty: at a glance
What is Mollie?
Mollie's Payments API now supports embedded saved cards — a real concession to merchants who own their checkout.
Mollie just enabled saving cards during checkout directly via the Payments API, letting merchants build fully embedded 1-click flows without redirecting to Mollie's hosted page. Alongside it: partial credit notes for specific invoice items, a new Methods Component beta for custom low-code checkouts, expanded webhook reference with permission requirements, and integration updates (Prestashop 6.4.3, VirtueMart for Joomla). Several smaller dashboard ergonomics ship in the same window.
What is Adapty?
Adapty lets one paywall flow personalise itself with the app's own user data
Adapty has finished moving customers onto one builder: the old Paywall and Onboarding Builders were deprecated on October 1 and Paywalls now live inside Flows & Paywalls. Since then it added a yearly plan sold as 12 monthly payments on native iOS, and the November 9 roundup brings custom tags, where the app passes a value through the SDK and any text in a flow can display it, alongside flow funnels and screen animations.

Mollie's Payments API now supports embedded saved cards — a real concession to merchants who own their checkout.
◆ Current state
Mollie just enabled saving cards during checkout directly via the Payments API, letting merchants build fully embedded 1-click flows without redirecting to Mollie's hosted page. Alongside it: partial credit notes for specific invoice items, a new Methods Component beta for custom low-code checkouts, expanded webhook reference with permission requirements, and integration updates (Prestashop 6.4.3, VirtueMart for Joomla). Several smaller dashboard ergonomics ship in the same window.
◆ Where it's heading
Mollie is repositioning from a hosted-checkout payments processor toward a more developer-platform shape — saved cards in the Payments API, the Methods Component low-code SDK, and the Unmatched credit transfers API all point the same direction. The webhook reference work and Token ID search in logs suggest the team is building for serious integrators who run Mollie alongside other payment rails.
◆ Prediction
Expect more checkout primitives to migrate from hosted-only to API-accessible (likely subscriptions and recurring billing next), and the Methods Component beta to graduate with deeper customization. Continued European e-commerce platform integrations remain on the conveyor belt.

Adapty lets one paywall flow personalise itself with the app's own user data
◆ Current state
Adapty has finished moving customers onto one builder: the old Paywall and Onboarding Builders were deprecated on October 1 and Paywalls now live inside Flows & Paywalls. Since then it added a yearly plan sold as 12 monthly payments on native iOS, and the November 9 roundup brings custom tags, where the app passes a value through the SDK and any text in a flow can display it, alongside flow funnels and screen animations.
◆ Where it's heading
With the migration done, the work has moved to making each flow do more: personalised copy, funnel analytics on flows, and animation. Adapty is turning the paywall builder into a general onboarding and conversion surface, with agent-built flows from August and pricing experiments like the 12-payment yearly plan layered on top.
◆ Prediction
Expect more SDK-fed personalisation and per-screen analytics inside flows, and the 12-payment yearly plan to extend beyond native iOS; the entries give no timeline for either.
