- They diverge on capability: Brex covers Corporate cards, EnKash covers Corporate card ecosystem.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

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
EnKash
- It is built specifically for Indian regulation and payment rails, so a multinational needs a separate platform for spend outside India, undermining any single-vendor global spend management strategy.
- Pricing is entirely unpublished, so a finance team cannot budget the platform before a sales conversation.
- Holding its own PPI licence reduces reliance on a bank partner but does not remove regulatory risk entirely, since RBI rules on prepaid instruments and card issuance in India have changed materially in recent years and can change again.
- As a full-stack ecosystem spanning cards, wallets and expense software, adoption benefits most companies that commit to most of the modules together, which raises switching cost once implemented.
- Independent published benchmarks on uptime, dispute resolution speed and support responsiveness are thin compared with more established global spend platforms.
