A REFERENCE BEFORE YOU PAY
Check rates on ComparaPix
It brings together quotes from different apps for Pix payments. Check the list and its history at the source; the order can change throughout the day.
- If you use pesos
- Compare ARS per real: fewer pesos for the same BRL means a lower quoted rate, before additional charges.
- If you use USD or USDT
- Check the debit currency and your cost of obtaining that balance. USD and USDT do not necessarily have the same cost.
- Before confirming
- Review the final quote in your wallet, fees and any cashback conditions. The comparator reference may differ from your final payment.

Compare the same purchase at the same time
Get a quote for the same BRL amount in each app. Include charges not already included and only confirmed discounts. The comparator uses ARS: if an app debits USD or crypto, enter the equivalent based on your actual cost of obtaining that balance.
Do not automatically treat bank dollars, USDT, USDC and USDc as equivalent. If a deposit funds the whole trip, allocate its fee across that balance instead of counting the full deposit fee on every purchase.
belo and ARQ
belo supports Pix using pesos or supported cryptocurrencies, shows the rate before confirmation and lets you set currency priority. It advertises no Pix payment fee. The cost of obtaining the balance can still vary.
ARQ, formerly DolarApp, offers Pix using pesos or digital dollars. Check funding costs: its Standard fee schedule dated October 1, 2026 lists 3 USDc for deposits from USD or crypto accounts; local-currency transfers are free.
Prex and Cocos
Prex Argentina supports Pix and uses USD first, then pesos if needed. The BRL amount shown is an equivalent balance, not reais already purchased. Account for that priority when comparing the debit.
Current Cocos help distinguishes Pix from card payments: crypto is supported for cards, not QR/Pix. USD requires linking a BIND account. Check the selected payment method and balance before comparing a quote.
Ualá: check Pix separately
Ualá’s official Pix announcement includes a temporary suspension note, so availability must be checked in your account. Its international prepaid card is a separate option; documentation says it debits pesos. The comparator lists it as a card, not Pix.
In the city and at the circuit
These options compare merchant payments. Food and drinks inside the GP use the event’s Cashless system. A wallet supporting Pix does not establish that it can top up the event card.
Before confirming, check the amount, recipient and debit currency. If a payment is pending, check its status and receipt before trying again. The comparator does not make payments or connect to your accounts.
Optional: compare your own quotes
