Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Lili
Business banking that puts the tax money aside
Lili is a business checking account for people who are the whole company. What separates it from a plain bank is the tax bucket: a share of what lands is held back automatically, and transactions are sorted into the categories a tax return actually asks for. Dearer plans fold in invoicing, bill pay and a set of books, which is where it starts competing with the accounting tools rather than the banks. Anybody already paying a bookkeeper should check what they would stop paying for.
Our note
The tax bucket is the reason to be here and it is on Pro rather than on the free plan, so treat Core as a bank account and Pro as the actual product. Compare the Smart tier against what you currently pay for bookkeeping rather than against the other banks, because that is the spend it is trying to replace.

Payoneer
Get paid by a marketplace in another country
Payoneer gives you receiving accounts in currencies you do not bank in, which is how a creator paid by a marketplace, a network or a brand abroad gets the money without losing a chunk to their own bank. There is no monthly fee. The cost is per movement, and the rate depends entirely on how the payer sends it, so the same invoice can arrive free or at nearly four percent. Reading the fee table before choosing how to be paid is the whole trick.
