Lirium alternative that builds the stablecoin app for you
Lirium sells the crypto back end for an app you run. Unigox builds the app: a USDT and USDC wallet under your brand, paid in and out by local transfer. Banks adding crypto to their app should stay with Lirium.
When to stay with Lirium
Your customers want more than stablecoins
Through one set of order calls, Lirium trades and holds Bitcoin, Ether, Solana and other tokens beside USDT and USDC. It also offers tokenised US shares such as Apple, NVIDIA and Tesla xStocks.
You need peso rails in Argentina or Mexico
Lirium gives each customer a virtual CVU in Argentina or CLABE in Mexico and turns the incoming transfer into a peso stablecoin. Withdrawals go back to a CBU, alias or CLABE.
You want no fixed fees on top of the price
Lirium's COO has said it charges no integration, custody, maintenance or per-call fee. The wholesale price is bundled, and each client adds its own markup.
Lirium's crypto back end next to a ready Unigox app
| Topic | Lirium | Unigox |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | An API for trading, custody, crypto transfers, fiat on and off-ramps and investment products, built into the app you already run. | The app itself, not an API: your brand in the App Store and Google Play, a USDT and USDC wallet, local payments and identity checks for each customer. |
| Who builds the app | Your engineers, against a REST API signed with your RSA key and JWTs, after testing in a sandbox. Funds that trade by hand get a web dashboard. | Unigox builds it and prepares its App Store and Google Play submissions in your own developer account, then review it with you before launch. |
| Assets | Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, USDT, USDC, other tokens and tokenised US shares; on-chain sends run on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana and Tron. | USDT and USDC, held in a Unigox Wallet. |
| Local money in and out | Virtual CVU accounts in Argentina and CLABE accounts in Mexico, credited as a peso stablecoin. Its docs name European bank rails but list only ARS and MXN methods. | Customers buy and sell by bank transfer or mobile money with a P2P merchant or a payment business. Escrow holds the crypto until the payment is confirmed. Unigox agrees the launch markets with you. |
| Time to launch | Its docs say most integrations reach a first transaction in under a day. Lirium puts production at 3 to 6 months, with about 3 weeks of API work. | Under one month for the agreed scope; an extra store review round can add time. |
| Pricing | No public price list. Lirium's COO describes no integration, custody or maintenance fee, and a bundled wholesale price that you mark up. | From $25,000 setup, a $7,500 monthly minimum and a 20% revenue share for the Full Bundle, on a 12-month first term, then month to month. |
| Regulation | Lirium AG of Vaduz is registered with Liechtenstein's FMA under the TVTG as a TT depositary and a TT price service provider. Its TT exchange service provider registration has expired under the MiCA transitional rules. ESMA's MiCA register has no Lirium entry. | Unigox works through two companies: UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Canada handles the local-money side and is registered with FINTRAC as a money services business and with the Bank of Canada as a payment service provider; UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Panama handles the crypto side, including wallets and escrow. |
UnigoxFrom a Lirium integration to an app we build for you
Book a planning call
Say who the app is for, which countries it opens in and whether USDT and USDC cover what your customers do on Lirium. We confirm markets, features and price before you sign.
Pass company verification
Send your company's registration, owners, source of funds and intended use. Unigox runs its own KYB; the due diligence Lirium did on your firm does not transfer.

Hand over brand materials and your store developer account; we build the app and go through it with you. Customers open new accounts with email and pass a fresh identity check; balances in Lirium custody stay there until your current app pays them out.
Questions about Lirium alternatives
Is there a Lirium alternative for a brand with no app?
Unigox NeoBank-as-a-Service. Lirium expects your team to build its API into an app you already run. Unigox supplies the app itself under your brand, with a USDT and USDC wallet, local bank transfer and mobile money payments and customer checks.
See NeoBank-as-a-ServiceWho does Lirium sell its crypto API to?
Lirium sells crypto-as-a-service to banks, brokers, neobanks and wallets in Latin America and Europe. One API covers crypto trading, custody, transfers, peso on and off-ramps in Argentina and Mexico, and tokenised US shares; clients build it into their own apps.
How does Lirium charge compared with Unigox?
Lirium publishes no price list. You agree a wholesale price with it and set your own markup; the fee you charge customers on buy and sell orders is configured on request. Unigox NeoBank-as-a-Service publishes its starting price: $25,000 setup, a $7,500 monthly minimum and a 20% revenue share.
Can Unigox add local payouts to our Lirium-based app?
Yes, with the Payments API, and no new app. Your server takes a quote and funds the payout from USDT or USDC in your partner wallet. A payment business or P2P merchant pays the customer's bank or mobile money account. Trading and custody can stay on Lirium.
