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; TurboTax do It Yourself federal filing ranges $0 to $149 with state returns billed separately at up to $139, so price rises sharply once a return needs more than the free simple-return tier
