The short version
- Only Billit has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Billit annual billing required to get approximately 15% discount (one free month included); Medius Expense the Expensya name is being retired, so contracts, logins and support articles change identity mid-relationship and internal documentation has to be rewritten.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Billit
- Annual billing required to get approximately 15% discount (one free month included)
- Additional user seats cost €5 per user per month on top of plan price
- Overage pricing per document decreases with tier, penalizing rapid growth within a tier
Medius Expense
- The Expensya name is being retired, so contracts, logins and support articles change identity mid-relationship and internal documentation has to be rewritten.
- It is now a module inside an accounts payable suite, so expense-specific roadmap items compete with supplier invoice work for engineering time.
- Pricing is not published and is discounted against bundling with Medius AP, which makes standalone expense quotes less competitive than they look.
- Strength is concentrated in Europe and the Maghreb; North American and Asian tax and mileage handling are thinner than the European coverage.
- It does not issue cards, so real-time spend controls are absent and it relies on card feed reconciliation after the fact.
