Where each one falls short

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

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

Cegid

  • No pricing is published for any product line (Cegid Retail, Cegid HR, Cegid Notilus); every call to action leads to a Contact Us sales form rather than a figure or a self-serve checkout
  • The suite is split across separately branded products (Retail, HR, Notilus, Pulse) rather than a single unified plan, so buyers must evaluate each module's quote separately
