Are there any alternatives to paypal, similar to pppay?

I don’t know many that are exactly like PayPal but there’s:

  • Skrill
  • Venmo (Run by PayPal)
  • Payoneer
  • CashApp
  • Zelle (only available through a bank account)
  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • Stripe
  • Amazon Pay
  • Shopify
  • WePay
  • Dwolla

I don’t think anyone has the ubiquity and robustness of paypal, though.

I know it's a hassle but if you REALLY want to send someone money privately with very few restrictions use Monero. I know it's not comparable to PayPal but I don't think it's a good model to try and replicate. A central point of failure or corruption. The only applicable replacement is when GNU Taler gets it's legs in the market which will take time.
