Wise is great for pure transfers — but has no UPI, no checkout pages, and no FIRA for Indian businesses. Playto Pay matches Wise at 1% flat on bank transfers and adds everything Wise doesn't.

WHY PLAYTO PAY IS DIFFERENT

Playto Pay matches Wise on cost and adds everything Wise was never built to handle:

✅ 1% flat on VBA transfers — same as Wise's best rate

✅ 4% flat on card payments — checkout pages Wise can't create

✅ Zero forex markup on all conversions — mid-market rate always

✅ UPI, RuPay, PhonePe, Paytm, Google Pay for your Indian audience

✅ FIRA documentation provided automatically — Wise doesn't offer this

✅ Checkout pages and payment links — sell products, not just receive invoices

✅ Recurring subscription billing with automatic INR conversion

REAL COST COMPARISON (per $5,000 transfer)

• Playto Pay (VBA) → 1% = $50 → you keep $4,950
• Wise → ~1.5% = ~$75 → you keep $4,925
• Skydo → ~1.5–2% = ~$75–100
• Payoneer → ~5.25% = ~$262
• PayPal → ~8.4–9% = ~$420–450
