The short version

Only Automate.io has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Automate.io no longer exists as a product. automate.io redirects to notion.com, which acquired the company and wound the integration service down; 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: Automate.io covers Multi-step automations, 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.

Automate.io

No longer exists as a product. automate.io redirects to notion.com, which acquired the company and wound the integration service down
Existing automations were not portable to Notion, so users had to rebuild elsewhere

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
