Which should you choose?

Cashfree Payments: Payment gateway and payouts platform supporting UPI, cards and bank transfers.

Flutterwave: Pan-African payments company supporting cards, mobile money and bank transfers in many currencies.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
