In my experience, you couldn’t just setup an account and start selling, you had to contact their sales team and they let you know if they want your business.
Last I checked, Polar was using Stripe under the hood.
EDIT: Yup. Via their pricing page:
Polar is currently built on Stripe, and we cover their 2.9% + 30¢ fee from ours. However, they impose a few additional fees for certain transactions that we need to pass on.
Stripe (I work there) also offers a mor-like product called “managed payments”: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/managed-payments Feel free to check it out

Stripe has no real competitor.
It has lots of competitors. They bought out LemonSqueezy exactly because it was a competitor that quickly gained a lot of mindshare.
Polar.sh is another one.
The thing you're talking about with Paddle is just checking you're not selling offline, physical stuff.
