Which should you choose?

PayTabs: Payment gateway for MENA businesses with cards, mada, Apple Pay, payment links and invoicing.

PhonePe Payment Gateway: Payment gateway from PhonePe with UPI-first checkout plus cards and netbanking.

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.
