Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Adyen

  • There is a minimum monthly invoice, set by industry and business model and only disclosed through the sales team, so small volumes are not economic
  • Published fees are indicative rather than a rate card, with real pricing negotiated
  • Interchange++ means the card cost varies per transaction rather than being a single predictable percentage
  • Alternative payment methods carry their own rates on top, such as 3.3 percent plus $0.10 for American Express in North America

TravelPerk

  • Pricing not transparently disclosed; organisations must request quotes and calculators to understand costs
  • Travel supplier inventory limited to partnerships (178 countries); less coverage than global GDS systems (Galileo, Sabre, Amadeus)
  • Requires integration setup with ERP and accounting systems; no standalone use for non-integrated workflows
  • Geographic limitations: primarily serves US, Canada, and EU; emerging market coverage is limited
  • Cashback programmes (Perk Card, Lodge Card) require company adoption; employee reimbursement workflows less developed
