How should Indian freelancers compare international payment methods?

When Indian freelancers receive USD from overseas clients, most people compare only the visible fee.

But in practice, the real cost can also include:

• FX markup hidden in the exchange rate

• Bank or SWIFT charges

• Unclear landed INR

• FIRA/FIRC documentation friction

• Confusion at tax or CA time

That’s the problem we’re trying to solve with FaiirPe.

FaiirPe is built for Indian freelancers, contractors, and small agencies receiving international payments. The idea is simple:

• Flat $19 per invoice up to $10K

• Mid-market FX

• No hidden FaiirPe FX markup

• Free FIRA

• Landed-INR comparison before getting paid

We’re launching soon and would love feedback from the Product Hunt community.

A few questions for freelancers, founders, and agency owners:

1. When choosing a payment method, do you compare visible fees or actual landed INR?

2. How important is FIRA/FIRC documentation in your workflow?

3. Would a calculator that compares landed INR before invoicing help you decide?

4. What would make you trust a new payment product?

Brutal feedback welcome. We’re trying to make this genuinely useful before scaling it.
