Tilled review and pricing

Modern PayFac-as-a-service with white-labeled merchant onboarding for SaaS platforms.

By Tilled · Founded 2019 · Boulder, CO · private

Tilled launched 2019 (founder Caleb Avery) and closed a $35M Series A May 2022 led by G Squared. The product is positioned as modern PayFac-as-a-service that targets vertical SaaS platforms looking for an alternative to Stripe Connect and a direct competitor to Finix. Wins on modern API, on white-labeled merchant onboarding workflows, and on competitive PayFac-as-a-service economics at vertical-SaaS scale. Loses on capital base versus Finix, on a smaller installed base than Stripe Connect, and on the question of how a $35M Series A scales against multi-billion-funded competitors.

Best for

US vertical SaaS platforms (50-1,000 employees) wanting modern PayFac-as-a-service with white-labeled merchant onboarding.

Worst for

Global platforms with EU/APAC volume (Adyen or Stripe Connect better); platforms below $25M GMV (Stripe Connect economics still favor); enterprise platforms with $500M+ GMV (Finix or Worldpay better infrastructure depth).
