Orla vs Tipalti
a mandate, not a payment run

Tipalti pays suppliers in 200 countries from a balance you fund first, in runs a person approves and releases. Orla pays inside one mandate you sign, straight from the accounts you already have, with brakes above it.

Orla pays straight from your own Airwallex, PayPal or the account inside Orla, and prepares the payment in your own Revolut Business. Nothing is moved in ahead of time.
No run to release
A bill inside its budget pays by itself on its date. Past the budget, or to a new payee, it waits for a person.
Brakes above the rule
Changed bank details, an amount four times the usual and loosening a limit all stop for a person, whatever the mandate says.

On autopilot

What goes by itself
and what still waits for you

Goes by itself

  • A bill or a payout inside its budget in the mandate
  • From Airwallex, PayPal or the account inside Orla
  • An agent's card or API spend inside its cap

Waits for you

  • A new payee, and bank details that changed
  • Anything past a budget or a limit
  • Every payment from Mercury, Slash, a Safe or a wallet you sign

The brakes above both

  • $2,000 a payment and $10,000 a day until you change them
  • Loosening a limit waits 24 to 72 hours
  • One pause stops every payment at once

Every brake on Safety

Side by side

The price

At your team's size
before a single payment fee

Tipalti Accounts Payablea starting price, for the company$99
Orla Prothe plan holds them$69

a month, before any payment fee; Tipalti adds a fee on each invoice and payment, quoted on request

Tipalti does not count users; its price starts at $99 a month and grows with the invoices and payments it runs. Orla's grows with the people who work in it, and someone who only signs past a budget needs no seat.

Fair is fair

Where Tipalti is stronger
and when to pick it

  • Reach: suppliers in over 200 countries, paid in their currency by the method they choose. Orla reaches what your accounts reach.
  • Supplier onboarding: a portal in 27 languages that collects bank details and W-9 or W-8 forms. Orla sends the payee a one-time link to type their own details, and files no tax forms.
  • Controls a mid market AP team expects: two and three way PO matching, multi entity, an ERP sync.
  • Mass payouts to thousands of creators, affiliates or sellers at once.
Pick Tipalti if
you pay hundreds of suppliers or payees across many countries, need tax forms collected, and have an AP team to release the runs.
Pick Orla if
you are a small team that wants routine bills paid by themselves from the accounts it already has, without funding a balance first.
Use both if
Tipalti runs your global payouts and Orla pays the rest from your own accounts, with both in the same books.

Questions

Orla and Tipalti
the short answers

Does Tipalti pay bills by itself?

It pays scheduled runs by the due date once the bills are approved and, where a final approval is on, the run is released. Orla pays a bill inside its budget by itself, with no run to release.

Do I have to move money into Orla first?

No. Orla pays from your own bank, PayPal or the account inside Orla. With Tipalti you fund a Tipalti balance first, and an ACH debit takes 4 business days.

Is Orla cheaper than Tipalti?

For a small team, usually: Tipalti starts at $99 a month plus a fee on each invoice and payment, Orla Pro is $69 for five people plus 0.25% of what the autopilot moves, at most $25 a payment.

Can Orla pay a supplier in any country?

As far as your accounts reach, and in USDC anywhere. Tipalti's own network reaches over 200 countries; if that is the job, it is the deeper tool.
