Comparison

Hanko vs Request Finance: which is better for getting paid?

Request Finance is built for crypto accounts-payable and treasury operations. Hanko is built for pitching, contracting and billing clients — with crypto as one payment option among several.

Request Finance is a crypto-native invoicing and mass-payout tool aimed at DAOs and Web3 companies managing accounts payable across many chains and tokens, with deep accounting-system integrations. It doesn't offer proposals, e-signed agreements, or a client-facing portal — it's an operations tool, not a client-acquisition-to-payment workspace. Hanko covers the full proposal-to-payment relationship and treats stablecoin payments as one option alongside fiat, not the entire product.

Two different jobs

Request Finance solves accounts payable and treasury operations for organizations already holding and moving crypto at scale — approvals, mass payouts, accounting-system sync. Hanko solves winning and billing a client from the first pitch onward. A DAO paying 40 contributors a month in stablecoins across several chains has a different problem than an agency trying to get a proposal signed and the first invoice paid.

What Request Finance covers that Hanko doesn't

Request Finance's core strength is breadth and depth on the crypto operations side: support for a wide range of tokens and chains, fiat off-ramp corridors, and direct integrations with accounting systems like QuickBooks, Xero, SAP and NetSuite that a finance team already relies on. Hanko doesn't currently integrate with those accounting platforms.

  • Broad token/chain support for crypto-native treasury operations
  • Accounting-system integrations (QuickBooks, Xero, SAP, NetSuite)
  • Built for mass payouts at DAO/Web3-company scale

What Hanko covers that Request Finance doesn't

Request Finance has no proposal, e-signature, or client-portal layer — it starts once there's already an invoice or a payables record to process. Hanko starts earlier, at the pitch, and carries the same client record through the signed agreement, the invoice, and an ongoing portal the client can log into.

Pricing

Request Finance offers a free plan for individual freelancers and contractors issuing invoices, with paid Basic, Pro and Premium tiers for businesses — published third-party estimates of the paid tiers vary significantly, so check request.finance/pricing directly for current numbers rather than relying on aggregated figures. Hanko's Starter plan is $19/month, with proposals, agreements and invoicing included from that tier.

Choose Hanko if

  • You need to pitch and get a proposal signed before you're billing anything
  • You want a client-facing portal, not just an invoicing/payables tool
  • Your business runs mixed fiat and crypto client payments, not crypto-only treasury

Choose Request Finance if

  • You're a DAO or Web3 company managing accounts payable across many chains and tokens
  • You need direct integration with QuickBooks, Xero, SAP or NetSuite
  • Your primary need is mass contributor/contractor payouts, not client acquisition

Final verdict

Choose Request Finance if you're running crypto-native accounts payable or treasury operations at scale and need deep accounting integrations. Choose Hanko if you need to pitch, sign, and bill a client — with crypto as one payment option, not the whole product.
