Cons
The flat $0.50 per-transaction fee hurts margins on low-priced products

Pros
Native plugins for WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shopify, OpenCart, and Stripe cover the most common ecommerce and billing stacks
Automatic, real-time invoice signing and AEAT submission removes manual compliance work
REST API with webhooks and a sandbox environment supports custom integrations
No lock-in contracts, and data stays exportable for 30 days after cancellation
White-label option lets accountancies manage VeriFactu for multiple clients from one dashboard
Cons
Built specifically for Spain's VeriFactu/AEAT regulation, so it has no relevance for businesses outside Spain
Free and Starter tiers cap monthly invoice volume (10 and 100 invoices respectively), requiring an upgrade as volume grows
Priority support and SLA guarantees are reserved for the Business and Enterprise plans
