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

Skedda

  • Pricing is per space with a bundled minimum, so the entry Starter plan is $99 per month for 15 spaces whether or not you use them
  • All published plans are quoted billed annually, with no monthly rate shown
  • The rules and roles engine is basic on Starter and limited on Plus; the full engine requires Premier
  • The insights dashboard is limited on the Starter plan
  • Assigned spaces and unlimited custom fields require the Premier plan
  • A dedicated account manager, legal agreement flexibility and white glove implementation are Enterprise only, and Enterprise carries no published price
  • Every plan, including the cheapest, routes through Talk to Sales rather than self-serve checkout
