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

Quo

  • Unlimited calling to US and Canadian numbers is subject to a Fair Usage Policy rather than being truly unlimited
  • Starter tier's $15/user annual rate requires prepaying annually; monthly billing costs $19/user, about 27% more
  • The Sona AI agent automation credits are capped at 1,000 free per plan before additional usage is billed
