Brex

  • 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

Replika

  • The App Store listing confirms Replika (Luka, Inc.) is free to download with core messaging available at no cost, but premium features are gated behind in-app purchases with no price figures disclosed in the listing.
