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.

Rezdy

  • Rezdy, Checkfront and Regiondo have shared an owner since 2023, so an operator running a three-way comparison is choosing between products from one company with one roadmap.
  • Every tier carries a percentage booking fee on top of the subscription, so the cheapest plan is the most expensive per booking and the true cost rises with success rather than staying fixed.
  • The marketplace is the main reason to be there, and its reseller depth varies sharply by destination; in a market with few connected agents you are paying a distribution premium for nothing.
  • Setting up complex products with shared resources across sessions is fiddly, and operators regularly need vendor assistance rather than configuring it unaided.
  • Payment processing is layered on top of the booking fee, so the effective take on each reservation is materially higher than the advertised percentage suggests.

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.

Rezdy: Who owns Rezdy?

Expedition Software Holding, backed by Vertica Capital Partners, which also owns Checkfront and Regiondo following a 2023 rollup.

Center: Who provides the travel booking?

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

Rezdy: Does Rezdy charge on direct website bookings?

Yes. The booking fee applies to bookings processed through the platform, including those from your own site, on top of card processing.

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.

Rezdy: What is the marketplace worth?

It depends entirely on your destination. Where agent and concierge traffic is significant it is the main reason to buy Rezdy; where it is not, the value collapses.

Rezdy: How much does it really cost per booking?

Add the tier booking fee, roughly 1.75 to 2 per cent, to your card processing rate, then add the monthly subscription spread across your volume.
