The short version

  • Only Assistant.to has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Assistant.to no longer an independent product. assistant.to redirects to Cirrus Insight, which absorbed it; 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
  • They diverge on capability: Assistant.to covers In-email scheduling, Fyle covers Real-time card tracking.

Where each one falls short

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

Assistant.to

  • No longer an independent product. assistant.to redirects to Cirrus Insight, which absorbed it
  • Its scheduling now sits inside a wider Salesforce-focused sales tool rather than being a standalone add-in

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
