Where each one falls short

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

Bling

  • Entry Cobalto plan at R$60/month caps marketplace and API orders at 200 per month, with only 60 MB of data storage and 1.2 GB of file storage
  • The top Elite tier is priced only by custom quote rather than a published figure, unlike the three tiers below it

Brex

  • The free Essentials tier is limited to two legal entities
  • Premium is $12 per user per month, so cost scales with headcount using the card
  • Enterprise and Smart Card pricing is not published
  • Eligibility criteria are not stated anywhere on the pricing page, which matters for a product that extends credit
