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

SYSPRO

  • SYSPRO publishes no pricing: the pricing page shows no rate, no tier, no minimum and no named cost driver, and directs visitors to request a demo
