The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Veem per-transaction fees can be higher than dedicated wire transfer services for large volumes; Very Good Security vGS sits in the live path of every request carrying sensitive data, so its latency and availability become yours, and an outage in the proxy is a payment outage no matter how healthy your own systems are.
  • They diverge on capability: Veem covers International payments, Very Good Security covers Aliasing proxy.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

  • International vendor paymentsnot Very Good Security
  • Cross-border transactionsnot Very Good Security

Very Good Security

  • A marketplace facing its first PCI DSS Level 1 assessment that wants to keep card data off its own estate rather than harden a dozen servicesnot Veem
  • A merchant negotiating with a second acquirer that needs card credentials portable so the negotiation is real rather than theoreticalnot Veem

  • A card issuer that must display a full PAN in its own mobile app without the app or its backend touching cardholder datanot Veem

Where each one falls short

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

Veem

  • Per-transaction fees can be higher than dedicated wire transfer services for large volumes
  • No free tier - even basic sending incurs transaction fees
  • Premium plan pricing at $14.99/month may not offset savings on transaction fees
  • Limited banking partnerships compared to larger financial platforms

Very Good Security

  • VGS sits in the live path of every request carrying sensitive data, so its latency and availability become yours, and an outage in the proxy is a payment outage no matter how healthy your own systems are.
  • Token portability is the whole selling point yet leaving VGS means migrating tokens back out, a project the vendor has no incentive to streamline, so the lock-in you removed from your acquirer partly moves to VGS.
  • Entry pricing at around one thousand US dollars a month is real money for a pre-revenue fintech, and it buys volume-limited throughput, so cost scales with exactly the growth that made you buy it.
  • Scope reduction is not scope elimination: your QSA still assesses how you integrate, and teams regularly discover that a support tool or an internal admin screen pulled plaintext back in and dragged systems into scope again.
  • Proxy-based interception constrains how you design request flows, and non-standard payloads, streaming uploads or binary formats often need custom routing rules that make debugging production issues noticeably harder.
