Winner: 1inch Card
1inch Card takes it 2–0. 1inch Card converts cheaper (0.0%); 1inch Card covers more regions.

On conversion cost 1inch Card is clearly ahead at 0.0%; CinCin takes 1–3%, which compounds fast if the card is your daily spender. 1inch Card only settles from stablecoins (USDC, USDT, DAI), while CinCin also accepts Crypto (auto-convert) — useful if you would rather not convert first. Both are usable across Global, so availability will not be the deciding factor there.
