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
Velocity Global
- Velocity Global has rebranded to Pebl and velocityglobal.com redirects to hellopebl.com
- No pricing is published for the Employer of Record service; the site routes to a demo request with no published per-employee rate
- The offering is an Employer of Record arrangement, so the employee is legally employed by the provider rather than the client
