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

SAP Concur

  • Listed on UK G-Cloud 14 at £0.21 to £9.70 per unit for SAP Concur Travel & Expense Professional Edition, submitted directly by SAP Concur, with the unit and billing period not further defined on the listing
