Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Center

  • The product is built around its own card, so employees still using a legacy bank corporate card get the ordinary receipt-chasing experience and the real-time promise does not apply to them.
  • Travel booking depends on Spotnana, meaning content, service levels and roadmap for a core part of the product sit with a third party Center does not control.
  • It is a United States product, and multi-entity companies with European or Asian subsidiaries will need a separate card and expense stack for those entities.
  • Interchange on card spend is a significant part of how the vendor earns, which is why the software price looks low; a company that keeps most spend on an existing card programme is a poor fit commercially.
  • It is a smaller supplier than Brex, Ramp or SAP Concur, so integration coverage outside the main US accounting systems is thinner and custom connectors are often the answer.

Divvy

  • Divvy is now sold as BILL Spend & Expense and getdivvy.com redirects to bill.com
  • No standalone pricing is published for the spend and expense product; the site routes to a trial signup and sales contact
  • Signup is gated behind selecting a business type and accounting software rather than being open self-serve

BILL's Spend & Expense plan has a free tier with no per-user subscription fee, including corporate cards, budget management, and AI receipt capture. You only pay transaction fees for ACH ($0.59), checks ($1.99), or instant payments (1%).
