The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Hnry service limited to self-employed sole traders in New Zealand only; Soldo cards are prepaid, so if the central wallet runs low the cards decline in front of a supplier, and treasury has to keep an idle float funded rather than using a credit line.

Where each one falls short

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

Hnry

  • Service limited to self-employed sole traders in New Zealand only
  • 1% + GST fee with $1,500 annual maximum cap
  • Minimum $0.50 fee per transaction for payments under $50

Soldo

  • Cards are prepaid, so if the central wallet runs low the cards decline in front of a supplier, and treasury has to keep an idle float funded rather than using a credit line.
  • The plan fee covers only three users, and per-user charges plus physical card fees mean the real monthly cost is several times the advertised headline for a team of twenty.
  • It does not extend credit, so it gives no working capital benefit and no card rewards of the kind US charge card issuers use to offset their cost.
  • Sole traders and some business types are not accepted, which catches out small consultancies expecting to sign up online.
  • Coverage is European; a company with US or Asian subsidiaries will need a second card programme and a second expense workflow for them.
