A direct comparison of platform and transaction costs.

The Hidden Costs of Cashfree
Stop letting Cashfree erode your profits. Cashfree's standard international card rate is ~4.9% + GST. International payouts require additional FIRA/eBRC compliance that solo creators find complex. With Playto Pay, you avoid these excessive surcharges and complex compliance headaches. Playto handles international compliance automatically. Creators get paid in INR without dealing with export documentation — something Cashfree leaves to you.
Zero Setup Hassles
Forget about LLC formations or complex API integrations. Playto Pay works out of the box, allowing you to generate payment links or embed checkout pages in minutes, so you can focus on your craft, not your accounting.
