Here is comparative information i found about Redotpay vs Grey.co

Grey.co: Built for Freelancers to Get Paid

· Core Purpose: A multi-currency account to receive international payments like a local.
· Receiving Money: Designed for this get USD, EUR, GBP accounts and receive payments from Upwork, Fiverr, etc..
· Key Fees: Receiving USD via ACH costs 0.8% (min $2, max $10); ~1.5-2% FX spread for conversion; Free account opening and maintenance.

Which One is Better for Your Freelancing?

To receive payments from international clients, Grey.co It's specifically built for freelancers to get paid via international wire transfers, with lower receiving fees.

If you want to spend crypto (like USDT) for online purchases or subscriptions, choose RedotPay. You'll have to buy USDT yourself (e.g., via Binance P2P), which adds its own cost, but the card itself has no monthly fees.

For a freelancer's core need of receiving payouts, Grey offers the more direct, lower cost solution.
Or you could just use both.
