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

Guru

  • Job fees run 5-9% depending on membership tier, and lower rates require paid plans up to $49.95/month
  • Membership purchases are non-transferable and non-refundable, and expired members are downgraded to Basic
