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.; Revinate pricing is not published and is quoted per property scaled by room count with a monthly floor, so small properties often find the minimum higher than the campaign revenue they can realistically generate.
They diverge on capability: Center covers Center corporate card, Revinate covers Guest profile resolution.

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.

Revinate

Pricing is not published and is quoted per property scaled by room count with a monthly floor, so small properties often find the minimum higher than the campaign revenue they can realistically generate.
Value depends on database size and quality; a hotel with a few thousand contacts and mostly OTA business will not recover the licence cost through email revenue.
The platform is sold as several products including marketing, messaging and reservation sales, so the quoted figure often covers less than a buyer assumes and the full stack costs considerably more.
Profile resolution quality depends on how the PMS was operated, and a property with poor data capture at check-in gets a cleaner database that is still missing email addresses for most guests.
It is hotel-specific, so a group with mixed accommodation including serviced apartments or vacation rentals will find parts of the model and integrations do not fit those units.

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.

Revinate: What does Revinate cost?

It is not published. Expect a per property monthly figure scaled by room count with a minimum, and confirm which products are inside that number.

Center: Who provides the travel booking?

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

Revinate: Does it replace my email tool?

Yes for guest marketing, because it is built on merged PMS profiles rather than a contact list you upload.

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.

Revinate: Will it work with a small database?

Poorly. The economics depend on having enough guest records with usable email addresses to generate attributable revenue.

Revinate: Is Ivy included?

Not necessarily. Messaging is priced separately from the marketing platform; confirm in writing.
