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

Plutio

  • Core plan at $19/month is limited to 9 active clients with no additional contributors
  • AI credits and workflow actions are capped by tier: 800 AI credits and 900 monthly workflow actions on Core versus 10,000 and 50,000 on Max
