Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Adyen
- There is a minimum monthly invoice, set by industry and business model and only disclosed through the sales team, so small volumes are not economic
- Published fees are indicative rather than a rate card, with real pricing negotiated
- Interchange++ means the card cost varies per transaction rather than being a single predictable percentage
- Alternative payment methods carry their own rates on top, such as 3.3 percent plus $0.10 for American Express in North America
Velocity Global
- Velocity Global has rebranded to Pebl and velocityglobal.com redirects to hellopebl.com
- No pricing is published for the Employer of Record service; the site routes to a demo request with no published per-employee rate
- The offering is an Employer of Record arrangement, so the employee is legally employed by the provider rather than the client
