Lemon Card: BTC sold per transaction. Revolut: BTC sold per transaction. Sale timing determines your price exposure between loading and spending.
Which is cheaper overall?
Compare the full stack - top-up, FX, monthly, ATM - against your own spending mix in the fee calculator. Headline numbers alone flip with real usage.
