The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Moss pricing is not published anywhere, so the only way to compare Moss with Pleo or Payhawk is to run parallel sales processes and reveal your spend volume to all of them.
  • They diverge on capability: Center covers Center corporate card, Moss covers Corporate credit cards.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

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.

Moss

  • Pricing is not published anywhere, so the only way to compare Moss with Pleo or Payhawk is to run parallel sales processes and reveal your spend volume to all of them.
  • Card limits are underwritten, so early stage companies and businesses with thin filed accounts are routinely offered limits well below what they need and the limit can be reduced on review.
  • Coverage is European and weighted to DACH, so any group with United States or Asian entities has to run a second card programme and reconcile two systems.
  • Invoice management is capable but not a full procurement or purchase order system, so businesses needing three way matching against goods receipts will find it thin.
  • As a non bank the credit product depends on partner banks and funding lines, which means the terms behind your limit are set by a party you do not contract with and can change without you being the cause.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Center: Do we have to use the Center card?

Effectively yes for the core benefit. Center can ingest other card feeds, but real-time capture, controls and the pricing model all assume its own card.

Moss: Does Moss issue credit or prepaid cards?

Credit in its core German offer, settled monthly against an underwritten limit, rather than requiring a pre funded balance.

Center: Who provides the travel booking?

Spotnana provides the underlying Travel-as-a-Service platform; Center provides the interface, policy layer and reporting.

Moss: Is DATEV export genuinely automatic?

Yes, bookings and receipt images export in DATEV format, which is the main reason German finance teams choose it over non German tools.

Center: Is there a per-user licence fee?

Center markets usage-based pricing with no licence, deployment or support fees; the economics rest on card interchange and booking fees.

Moss: Does Moss work outside Europe?

Not meaningfully. Coverage centres on Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, the UK and Spain, so global groups need a second provider.
