Considered Both Products
Melio
Chose Melio
1. One thing I like about Melio is the free version for small businesses or individuals or soleprenuels .
2. Melio offers free bank to bank payments on all plans, even the free version unlike other competitors.
3. You can pay vendors with credit cards even if they don't accept …
Chose Melio
I have used Bill, Mercury and Novo. They all meet my requirements' for my business and do similar services. However, I have been sticking with Melio over the other products as it meets all the needs for my business. Melio is a turn key solution for me. Melio is all I am using …
Chose Melio
Melio has much better customer service and lower fees than the competitors I've tried!
Chose Melio
Melio stacked up well against other solutions. The workflow and reporting were simple and the payment options were less expensive, without a monthly subscription. The ability to pay multiple invoicing in a few short clicks was appealing. The updated payment workflow was …
Chose Melio
I love Melio compared to bill.com, which seems to be full of fees and annoying ads that Melio does not have.
Chose Melio
Melio is 100% free if you just use ACH, and that by itself would be reason enough for me to stick with the platform, it boats a ton of other useful features that add to the experience.
Chose Melio
Melio tested to be much easier to use than BILL.
Additionally, Melio is free for bill payment; others charge quite a bit. Being able to recommend a free app to our clients makes standardizing on a single solution very easy for us.
Chose Melio
Less features than Ramp, but a solid option for free use for ACH. If you need International wires, fees may be higher than other options. However, you can issue paper checks, ACH, wires or use a linked credit card to pay bills.
Chose Melio
I prefer Melio due to its simplistic interface.
Chose Melio
I prefer Melio over Bill.com. I prefer Melio because it is easier to cancel or correct a payment on the platform. I like the way that Melio lets you track vendor requests for payment information. I like that it is easy to follow the payment all the way through the process to …
Chose Melio
It is pretty good, but clients call frustrated with it when they have to fix things. I cannot offer it to advanced clients, since the system is too simple.
Chose Melio
Bill.com is more expensive and more difficult to use than Melio. While it has a greater range of functionality and apparently has better integration into QuickBooks, we didn't need the greater functionality and I had just as much trouble integrating into Bill.com as I have with …
Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
We agreed to select Xoom as the main payment method since it had more flexible options. It gives the user a full guarantee of transacting safely and when there is a conflict the customer support team acts quickly. The charges for sending and receiving money are relatively low …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
We have not engaged in any other online payment service since we deployed Xoom. The performance and relations with the service provider have contributed to positive production. They do not share our company's financial information with any other institution. They regularly …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
I have found xoom to be most efficient in terms of real time processing. The money gets deposited faster than any other service providers I have used. The exchange amount is quite competitive when compared with others and its association with Paypal provides an added layer of …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
It was selected really because of the low expense.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
We use PayPal for everything else. We have tried Western Union but the fees are very high and less transparent.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
It is a safe and secure payment gateway that is available and accessible in almost every country in the world. Moreover, It is provided by a trusted company that is PayPal. You can accept/transfer money from any country directly into your bank account without any major glitches …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
In my personal opinion, Xoom is tailored for bigger money transfers compared to Revolut or TransferWise. Depending on the currency and country where we are focusing, the cost of transferring money could be smaller with Xoom (mainly in the US) or actually similar/worst. In terms …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
Xoom has similar features as Venmo and PayPal but it is more advanced and easier to use. There are more options and flexibility when it comes to Xoom compared to its competitors and it's backed by the reputation and name of PayPal which makes consumers trust it more.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
Xoom has worldwide coverage - most of the competition doesn't. Also, converting currency is painful in other apps. If only the markup fees were lower, Xoom would be a killer service!
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
Our team has preferred Xoom because it is an efficient and safe way to transfer funds. We are able to be as detailed as necessary with every transaction, which gives us the confidence of knowing where our money is going. We appreciate the ease of use and the free initial …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
For me, Xoom is the best tool to transfer and receive money because it's fast and secure and your recipients don't have to use Xoom. Besides, the transfer fees are generally good and I can pay my insurance bills.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
Similar to Venmo which is also a PayPal service, but not directly to a bank account.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
Xoom was able to send money to countries that Wise could not.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
Xoom is a PayPal administration, so you can have certainty that your beneficiaries in India will accept their cash. It is also mobile-friendly which makes it also user-friendly. And the customer support team is highly satisfactory.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
We also use a payment service called Stripe for credit card payments. The services are similar but offer different advantages. Overall the service stacks up well against them in the fact that we can integrate the payments easily, allow for payments by phone and most users are …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)

User Testimonials
MelioXoom, a PayPal Service (personal use only)
Likelihood to Recommend
Melio is particularly well suited for small businesses above $100K in revenue whose owners want to save time and simplify bill payments. It is helpful to bookkeepers so that they don't have to ask the owners, over and over again, "what was that check for?" and "can you send me the bill?"

Xoom is best suited to send and receive money between two people who live in different countries, not only that we can also send money to our friends, colleagues, family members directly in their bank accounts. They have a great currency exchange functionality that directly converts our received money into our local currency, and deposits it into our bank account within a few minutes. The only drawback is that not many people know about it, it needs good marketing so that more people can use this service, and from my experience, I can say it is very secure and a good competitor of Payoneer.

Pros
  • The simplicity it adds to business payments is a great deal. One feature we really value it the ability to pay vendors by check. Melio prints and mails checks for us which saves time and hassle.
  • Payment scheduling tool is another thing we enjoy. This tool lets us plan ahead and manage cash flow more effectively by setting payment dates in advance.
  • Another thing Melio does well is the tracking of payment.
  • There was a time a vendor claimed that they hadn't been paid, but with just a few clicks we could see the check has already been delivered.
  • This kind of transparency gives us confident and keep things professional.
  • The integration with other platform or accounts like QuickBooks is an experience I did love to keep.

  • Very fast transfer and very secure as being of PayPal.
  • Receiver don't need to download the app or use Xoom.
  • It supports bank and debit card to transfer funds and same with the receiver.

Cons
  • There should be an automatic link between vendors added with their Melio link and the same vendors that already exist in QuickBooks. As it is now, a new vendor is created when you do that and is not linked with the one that already is in QuickBooks.

Melio has been a very important tool in the advancement of our business. With great features, it has made payments to vendors seamless and hassle free.

The implementation was largely successful. Since this was a large shift from normal practices, we faced a few teething problems, but largely I'd say it went well.
