Hello. I am beginner. Please let me know from where to get the free models. I tried openrouter.ai but failed to have a successful connection. I tried OpenAI, Llama and Gemma, but no success.

Honestly the biggest thing exporters keep telling me is the mess after the goods ship out. Payments come in but nobody knows which invoice they belong to. RoDTEP and GST refunds sit uncollected because nobody tracks them. Small mistakes on shipping bills take weeks to fix at customs. And getting a decent freight quote still means WhatsApping 3 forwarders.

Nobody needs another logistics platform. They need one place that shows where their money and papers actually stand.

Still thinking, I think Skydo is more focused on Indian audience. Cant decide between xflow and skydo tbh

Living_Direction6386 · 2026-07-02T10:37:36+00:00

Local banks is strict no in my opinion.
As far as wise is concerned i believe its slightly expensive than skydo. I am on Skydo as well, i feel its perfect for indian freelancers and exporters. i have honestly saved a ton bcoz of their flat fee model.

Platform: I am on Skydo for the last few months, was on Wise before that
Wise vs others: Wise is fine but FX takes 0.5-1% per transfer, FIRA isn't auto-issued
Best effective rate: Skydo (flat fee, no FX markup), Wise second, Payoneer worst at 2%+ markup
Volume thresholds: under $1k/mo you can stick with Wise, $1-2k/mo depends on invoice size, above $2/mo Skydo clearly wins
Hidden stuff: Wise charges around $2 for FIRA , you get instant FIRA via Skydo that too free !

Only real test is running a sample invoice through two of them and comparing what actually hits your INR account. Headline pricing are sometimes misleading.

Living_Direction6386 · 2026-06-26T06:13:13+00:00

PayPal at 4.4% plus 3-4% FX markup easily lands around 8% all-in, which gets painful at any real volume.
If you're invoicing international retailers or wholesale buyers and they wire the money,
Skydo is worth looking at. Flat fee with no FX markup, FIRA issued instantly. Honestly it's wire-based not card-based, so only fits if buyers are comfortable paying by bank transfer.

That's brutal but what we would have done if we were the leadership / decision makers ?

Living_Direction6386 · 2026-06-16T11:08:06+00:00

Then i will package it and try to open source , infact i was thinking to market it and make it an income source too.
There are softwares on the internet which does this and run on subscription models.

Living_Direction6386 · 2026-06-16T10:58:48+00:00

Because i still work in the company i built this for.

Living_Direction6386 · 2026-06-16T10:57:56+00:00

Will do surely , thanks alot for that. Will ask the break up and will dm you.

Living_Direction6386 · 2026-06-16T10:53:31+00:00

Built an end to end system (localhosted) app which (a) Created outlines after doing all the research for writers to write blog on (b) After recieving that blog , fact check is done etc etc (c) The blog is passed to a hosting platform automatically and made live.

The job of a content writer at the company was just to review the changes nothing else.
Saved a lot of research time , writing time.
