The verdict: Revolut for cost, Revolut for speed.
On the headline measure that matters most — how much your recipient actually receives — Revolut comes out ahead in our reference $1,000 USD → INR comparison, by ₹656 (0.79%). On larger transfers the gap widens proportionally, so the right choice for someone sending $200 a month and someone sending $20,000 once a quarter can be different — always compare for your specific amount.
