   The evidence pack covers currency codes, checkout, invoicing, subscriptions, payouts, disputes, and AI/agent tooling, but contains no mention of automated sales tax, VAT, or GST calculation/collection engines or tax-rate rules per jurisdiction. This is a fair capability to expect from a payments platform serving finance-ops, but no evidence shows PayPal delivers it.

   Mollie—none0/10

   Mollie is a payment processing platform (checkout, payments, subscriptions, payouts, connect/marketplace splits) with no evidence of tax/VAT/GST calculation, rate lookup, or automated tax collection features anywhere in the evidence pack.

   PayPal documents strong API/UI parity for core merchant flows (checkout, subscriptions, invoicing, payouts, disputes via API vs. Resolution Center, webhooks, platform onboarding) and even an MCP/agent-toolkit layer for natural-language access to many of these (create_order, create_invoice, list_disputes, get_merchant_insights, etc.). However, several consumer-facing PayPal.com UI features (Pay in 4, Savings account APY, debit card cashback, 'pool money' group gifts, Fastlane autofill) have no documented API equivalent, and agentic commerce tools are explicitly gated/limited (e.g., commerce tools 'for gift cards only for now', Store Sync restricted to US physical goods in USD). missing for 10: API parity for consumer money-app features (Pay in 4, Savings, cashback, group pooling), unrestricted access to agentic commerce tools without approval gating.

   Mollie's API surface is extensive and mirrors most Dashboard functionality: payments, refunds (explicitly noted as available both via API and manually in the 'Mollie Web app'), subscriptions, balances, settlement reports, chargebacks, webhooks, and Connect split-payments/application-fees are all API-accessible. However, no evidence explicitly asserts full 1:1 API/UI parity across every dashboard feature (e.g., account settings, onboarding flows, reporting UI extras), and the MCP server itself only proxies a subset of APIs (missing Refunds, Chargebacks, Orders), leaving some UI-only gaps unconfirmed either way.
