PayPal Payment Button vs Square

Square edges out PayPal Payment Button on rating (5.0★ vs 4.7★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.

Pricing entry tiers: PayPal Payment Button at Free plan available, Square at Free plan available. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.

PayPal Payment Button has the larger user base (114 reviews vs 18), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Square's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.

Recommended by size: small/early-stage site owners who need fast install and low risk should default to Square; mid-market and enterprise site owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — PayPal Payment Button's 114-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Square's broader-but-shallower coverage.
