Which should you choose?

Mollie: European payment provider supporting cards, iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA and other local methods with simple pricing.

Razorpay: Payment gateway with UPI, cards, netbanking and wallets, plus payment links, pages, subscriptions and invoices.

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.
