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.; Tokeet the published entry price covers ten rentals, so a host with one or two properties pays a manager-sized fee and Tokeet is not economic below roughly five units.
  • They diverge on capability: Center covers Center corporate card, Tokeet covers Reservation manager.
  • 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.

Tokeet

  • The published entry price covers ten rentals, so a host with one or two properties pays a manager-sized fee and Tokeet is not economic below roughly five units.
  • The suite is assembled from separately built applications, so navigation, terminology and data handling differ between Automata, Rategenie and the core product and staff need training on each.
  • Add-on apps mean the base subscription understates running cost, and a realistic quote requires listing which apps you will enable before comparing against an all-in competitor.
  • Support is largely ticket and knowledge base driven with limited hands-on onboarding at the entry tier, which is a problem given how much configuration the automation layer needs.
  • Accounting is limited to cost tracking and owner statements rather than full trust accounting, so managers in jurisdictions requiring segregated client funds still need external bookkeeping.

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.

Tokeet: What does the entry price cover?

Ten rentals, at roughly $134.90 per month billed monthly. Pricing scales upward by rental count from there.

Center: Who provides the travel booking?

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

Tokeet: Are the extra apps included?

Availability varies by promotion. Treat Automata, Rategenie and Signature as separately configured components and confirm what is bundled in writing before signing.

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.

Tokeet: Is there a free option?

There is a free tier and a 15 day trial, but the useful configuration for a manager sits on the paid plans.

Tokeet: Does it do trust accounting?

No. It offers owner statements and cost tracking, not segregated client fund accounting.
