Stripe Fee Auditor
See your real Stripe fee rate in 30 seconds
Stripe says 2.9% + $0.30. I was actually paying 4.7%. The problem? Stripe's dashboard shows gross volume, not your real fee rate. International cards, FX, refunds, and small transactions quietly push it higher — but you never see it in one place. Stripe Fee Auditor fixes this: upload your Balance CSV and get your real effective rate, monthly trends, fee drivers, and savings opportunities. Without connecting your Stripe account. No OAuth. No signup. No raw CSV stored.

Hey Product Hunt I got tired of the Stripe 2.9% myth. Like most SaaS founders, I assumed my rate was ~2.9% + $0.30. Then I actually exported my Balance CSV and did the math. Between international cards, FX conversions, and that brutal $0.30 fixed fee on $5-10 micro-transactions, my real blended rate was hovering around 5%. Stripe's dashboard is gorgeous, but it's designed to make you feel good about gross volume. It doesn't exactly shout "hey, you're bleeding money on fees." I wanted to dig into this properly, but after seeing API key leak horror stories, there was no way I was connecting my live financial data to a third-party tool. So I built something dead simple: a CSV-only tool that runs in your browser. You drag and drop your Stripe Balance CSV, and it shows exactly where your fees are leaking. No OAuth, no API keys — your data never leaves your laptop. I cleaned it up and put it live at feeauditor.com. Free to use during beta, no signup. Curious — for those of you with international customers, what are you actually paying in effective rate? My gut says most indie hackers are in the 4-6% range and don't realize it.
