The short version
- Only Airwallex has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Airwallex international card payments carry a $0.30 fee per transaction on top of FX charges, separate from the free tier; Fyle billed per active user, defined as anyone who creates an expense or has a connected card with transactions in the month, so headcount does not predict the bill
