What is the "PADDLE.NET" Charge on My Statement?
If you see PADDLE.NET, PADDLE.COM, or PAD* on your bank statement, you likely purchased a digital product or software subscription.
Don't Panic: Paddle is not a scam. It is a legitimate payment processor used by companies like MacPaw (CleanMyMac), Framer, and thousands of independent app developers.
Why Is It Hard to Identify?
The problem is that Paddle acts as the "Merchant of Record." This means your bank statement shows "Paddle" instead of the name of the app you actually bought.
This often leads to confusion, especially if it's a recurring yearly charge you forgot about.
Common Software Using Paddle
- CleanMyMac / MacPaw tools
- Framer (Web design tool)
- AdGuard
- Various PDF editors and utilities
Do You Have Other Hidden Charges?
If you forgot about this Paddle charge, you likely have others. Most people have 3-5 "zombie subscriptions" draining their account.
