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

Crazy Egg

  • The Starter plan at $29 a month covers 5,000 pageviews and 50 snapshots, which a modest site exhausts quickly
  • All plans are billed annually rather than monthly
  • There is no free tier, only a trial
  • Reaching 500,000 pageviews means the Pro plan at $249 a month
