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

Conta

  • Project management, KID numbers on invoices and unlimited e-invoicing are reserved for the higher Smart plan at 339 NOK/month, not included in the 209 NOK/month Standard plan
  • Payroll and annual settlement services are not included in either plan and must be purchased as separate add-ons
