Why Founders Are Leaving Globalfy
Real issues reported by Globalfy customers
No Bank Account Despite Similar Price
Globalfy charges $588/year, nearly the same as StartGlobal, but does not include bank account setup. Bank account services were described as "under complete restructuring" by Globalfy themselves.
Annual Subscription Adds Up
The $588 price is not a one-time fee. It renews every year. After 3 years, you have paid $1,764+ for Globalfy vs $599 total with StartGlobal.
Tax Filing Requires Expensive Upgrade
To get tax filing with Globalfy, you must upgrade to the Essential plan at $1,308/year. The Scale plan with bookkeeping costs $5,028/year.
Accounts Closed Without Notice
Some customers report having their accounts closed without notification. This can disrupt your business operations and compliance status.
