Stripe Invoicing
Stripe Invoicing charges a percentage of each paid invoice instead of a subscription, and it is the only tool we checked that automatically validates EU VAT numbers and applies reverse charge, through the separate paid Stripe Tax product. It has no native Peppol support and says so in its own documentation.

Strengths / Weaknesses

- The EU VAT features cost extra, 0.5 percent per transaction or from 80 euros a month for Stripe Tax Complete
- Stripe Tax offers non-Union OSS registration, not Union OSS
- Percentage pricing gets expensive on large invoices

Verdict
Stripe is the only tool in this comparison that automates the pair that actually breaks intra-EU B2B invoicing: validating the customer's VAT number and then applying reverse charge. That capability sits in Stripe Tax, a separate paid product, so the real cost is 0.4 percent of paid invoices plus 0.5 percent per transaction, or from 80 euros a month for the Complete tier. And Stripe is admirably blunt that it has no native Peppol field, which makes it the wrong choice if a client insists on network delivery.
