Where each one falls short

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

Anthropic API

  • AWS Marketplace lists Claude Opus 4.8 (Amazon Bedrock Edition), published by seller Anthropic, at $5.00 per million input tokens and $25.00 per million output tokens for standard usage, or $2.50 and $12.50 per million tokens respectively for batch processing
  • AWS Marketplace's Anthropic listing shows cache write tokens billed separately at $6.25 per million tokens for the standard 5-minute cache, rising to $10.00 per million tokens for a 1-hour cache TTL

Fyle

  • Billed per active user, defined as anyone who creates an expense or has a connected card with transactions in the month, so headcount does not predict the bill
  • The Growth plan carries a 5 user minimum and the Business plan a 10 user minimum, so the entry cost is set by the floor rather than the team
  • API access and the Sage Intacct and NetSuite integrations require a paid tier
  • ACH reimbursements and project expense tracking sit above the entry plan
  • Both published plans are billed annually
  • Enterprise pricing is custom and aimed at organisations with 250 or more employees
