We Built a Dashboard for Merchants to Track and Optimize Payment Fees
Hello HN Viewers, So this all started when we got super frustrated trying to figure out payment fees. You know how it goes – you have got a bunch of payment providers, each with their own fee reports, and trying to make sense of all that mess is quite challenging and complex. We thought, why not just build something that pulls all those fee reports together, cleans them up, and makes them actually understandable? So we built a tool that pulls in fee reports from multiple providers, standardizes fee names, and makes it easier to understand all fee types. You can drill down to see the exact…

In plain words
This dashboard consolidates payment fee reports from multiple providers into a single, standardized view for merchants. It aggregates data, clarifies fee structures, and allows users to drill down into specific transaction costs and detect unexpected charges. The tool also simulates the impact of upcoming card fee changes, helping merchants understand their true payment processing costs across different payment types and identify opportunities to optimize fees.

We built PriceLevel to find out what companies pay for SaaS2024 · pricelevel.com · ▲532Hey HN! Christine and Steven here. As a PM and engineer, we’ve both evaluated and purchased a lot of software. One of the biggest frustrations was figuring out how much it would cost us without having to go through the sales process. When we did have a quote, we had no idea if we were getting a good deal or ripped off. We built a site where you can see what other companies are actually paying for SaaS and enterprise software. Buyers contribute prices via quotes, pricing proposals, and other documentation to ensure quality. We unlocked Talkdesk for Show HN users so that you can use the…
- IBI built a tool to manage and compare credit card rewards2025 · rewards.getonecard.io · ▲87
This is a free tool that helps you manage and visualize your credit card rewards across different categories. You can input the cards in your wallet and see how they complement each other, spot gaps in your setup, and also see the best card to use for a given merchant. I’m also a founder at OneCard, where we’re building a smart card that’ll eventually handle all of this automatically, routing each purchase to the best card in real-time. Would love feedback from the HN community!

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
