Head to head

The differences, one by one.

Both are Merchant of Record, both issue self-billing invoices and both can take on DAC7 reporting. The gaps show up on reach, rails and economics.

01The reach
Gigapay65+ countries, 80+ for streaming and eSports, mostly through European, UK and US rails. Outside that list you need a second provider.
Talentir180+ countries. One vendor for the whole roster.
02The rails
GigapayBank transfer (SEPA Instant, Faster Payments, ACH), Swish in Sweden, invoice and an Earlypay advance. PayPal only for legacy accounts, no crypto listed.
TalentirBank, PayPal, Venmo and crypto from one Talentir account, so creators in high-inflation or thin-banking markets have an option that fits.
03The recipient
GigapayCreators create a Gigapay account to claim a payout. On older plans a fee can apply when they claim; Gigapay says clients cover fees on new plans.
TalentirPayees onboard from a payout link, pick a method and currency and get paid.
04The speed
GigapayInstant when the campaign is pre-funded and a real-time rail exists, otherwise same-day. Gigapay support says delivery can take up to 3 days.
TalentirMost payees are paid in seconds, in the method they choose.
05The price
Gigapay€279/month plus a 4.9% fixed fee per payout; Enterprise on custom pricing.
Talentir3% per payout, falling to about 0.9% at volume, with no monthly fee.
06The economics
GigapayA monthly fee plus a per-payout percentage. Platforms can add their own margin and agencies can share costs with creators. Earlypay is Gigapay's own advance, and no yield or FX share is published.
TalentirEarly-payout fees you keep, a share of payout fees as an affiliate, yield and recovered FX turn payouts into a revenue line.

Pricing

One all-in rate vs a monthly fee plus a percentage.

The structural difference is direction: a cost that scales with volume, or a rate that falls as you grow.

Gigapay

Gigapay's model

A Pro plan at €279/month plus a 4.9% fixed fee per payout, with an Enterprise plan on custom pricing for companies moving €1.8M+ annually and volume-based rate reduction (gigapay.com/pricing, verified 2026). So there is a base subscription before the first payout, then a percentage on top.

Talentir

Talentir's model

One all-in rate on payout volume, from 3% per payout moving toward about 0.9% at volume. No monthly fee, no minimum, no FX markup and no modules to license. Method fees, for example for PayPal, are shown up front, and you can cover them for your payees. A single volume rate that falls as you grow, plus early-payout fees, affiliate revenue, yield and recovered FX that flow back to you.

The honest read

Where Gigapay falls short.

No crypto, PayPal only for legacy accounts, and instant depends on pre-funding. Gigapay's support pages say delivery can take up to 3 days.

Recipients need an account. Creators create a Gigapay account to get paid. Gigapay's support pages say a fee can apply when they claim, and Gigapay says clients cover fees on new plans (September 2026).

FAQ

Talentir vs Gigapay, answered.

Yes. Gigapay acts as Merchant of Record as the contractual payer and generates self-billing invoices automatically. Talentir also acts as Merchant of Record on the payout side, issuing an EU-compliant self-billing invoice per payout with VAT handled, and DAC7 reporting is available as an opt-in service you can activate. Neither is unique on this; reach, rails and economics decide it.
