Where each one falls short

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

SamCart

  • Plans start at $79 per month, and features like subscription saver and A/B testing are reserved for the higher $199 per month Scale tier
