Can Billed handle multiple currencies?

Yes. Billed supports international payments through PayPal and Stripe, allowing you to invoice clients in multiple currencies.

Which is more affordable, Billed or Xero?

Billed is more affordable for most small businesses. Xero's plans can get expensive, especially if you need features like multi-currency or projects which are only on higher tiers.
