The short version

  • Each has a real cost: EnKash it is built specifically for Indian regulation and payment rails, so a multinational needs a separate platform for spend outside India, undermining any single-vendor global spend management strategy.; PayFit coverage is limited to a handful of European countries and the company withdrew from Germany in 2023, so any buyer with expansion plans should assume the country they need next will not be supported.
  • They diverge on capability: EnKash covers Corporate card ecosystem, PayFit covers Native payroll engine.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

EnKash

  • It is built specifically for Indian regulation and payment rails, so a multinational needs a separate platform for spend outside India, undermining any single-vendor global spend management strategy.
  • Pricing is entirely unpublished, so a finance team cannot budget the platform before a sales conversation.
  • Holding its own PPI licence reduces reliance on a bank partner but does not remove regulatory risk entirely, since RBI rules on prepaid instruments and card issuance in India have changed materially in recent years and can change again.
  • As a full-stack ecosystem spanning cards, wallets and expense software, adoption benefits most companies that commit to most of the modules together, which raises switching cost once implemented.
  • Independent published benchmarks on uptime, dispute resolution speed and support responsiveness are thin compared with more established global spend platforms.

PayFit

  • Coverage is limited to a handful of European countries and the company withdrew from Germany in 2023, so any buyer with expansion plans should assume the country they need next will not be supported.
  • There is no employer of record capability, so hiring one person in an unsupported country means adding a separate vendor and a separate employment model.
  • The HR modules cover time off, expenses and records but do not replace an HRIS, and companies with performance, learning or ATS requirements will run PayFit alongside another system.
  • Pricing is quoted per country as a platform fee plus a per employee charge, which makes cross-border cost comparison awkward and means a small subsidiary can carry a disproportionate fixed cost.
  • The product is built for small and mid-sized employers, and companies past a few hundred employees report hitting limits in complex collective agreement handling and in bulk data correction workflows.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

EnKash: Does EnKash operate outside India?

No, it is built for the Indian regulatory and payment rail environment specifically.

PayFit: Which countries does PayFit actually calculate payroll in?

It runs its own payroll engine for the countries it sells in, currently France, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom, and it closed its German operation in 2023.

EnKash: What is a PPI licence and why does it matter?

It is a Reserve Bank of India licence to issue prepaid payment instruments; EnKash holding its own, obtained April 2025, means it depends less on a partner bank for card issuance.

PayFit: Is it native payroll or aggregation through a local partner?

Native. Country rules are written and maintained in the company own domain-specific language, so calculation and filing are PayFit responsibilities rather than a partner obligation.

EnKash: Is pricing published?

No, EnKash requires a sales conversation for pricing based on card volume and modules used.

PayFit: Can PayFit employ staff on my behalf?

No. It is payroll software for entities you already have. Employment in a country without your own entity needs an employer of record.

PayFit: Does it handle collective bargaining agreements?

Common French and Spanish agreements are supported, but unusual or heavily negotiated agreements can require manual handling.
