| Pricing | USD $12 per user/month (Grow) plus an unpublished platform fee based on team size · free tier: Explore — $0 per user/month: 20+ currencies to collect and hold, interbank FX access, free batch transfers to 120+ countries, unlimited multi-currency corporate cards, expense management and bill pay, invoicing, Xero/QuickBooks sync; limited to 10 free Spend users | 5% + 50¢ per transaction (no monthly fee) · free tier: Free to start with no trial, no contract and no monthly charge for ecommerce features; email marketing free up to 500 subscribers |
| Pricing model | Subscription plus per-transaction fees | Usage-based |
| Best for | Cross-border SMEs and scale-ups that both collect and pay out in major currencies, want account plus FX plus cards plus AP consolidated with one vendor, and can benefit from 0.5% interbank markup, free local transfers and yield on idle USD — ideally single-entity structures with 10 or fewer spend users on the free tier, or platforms needing payout and issuing APIs. | Solo founders and small software teams selling digital products or SaaS subscriptions at $20+ to a global audience, who would rather pay ~5-10% of gross than register for VAT and sales tax across dozens of jurisdictions. |
| Avoid if | Your cash flow cannot survive a multi-week compliance or credit-risk hold on incoming funds, your customers pay mostly with international cards (4.30% + $0.30), you need a firm published price before engaging sales, you run more than three legal entities with undisclosed per-entity fees, you send mainly exotic currencies via SWIFT, or you require FDIC-insured deposit protection on operating balances. | You sell physical goods or services, sell low-ticket items under about $10 where the 50¢ flat fee bites, have volume enough to negotiate interchange-plus directly, or cannot survive a multi-week payout freeze and a slow support queue. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
