The short version

  • Only Chanty has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Chanty free plan caps at 5 team members; Fyle billed per active user, defined as anyone who creates an expense or has a connected card with transactions in the month, so headcount does not predict the bill

Where each one falls short

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

Chanty

  • Free plan caps at 5 team members
  • Enterprise tier publishes no price and requires contacting sales
  • Monthly billing costs roughly 33% more per seat than annual billing on the Business plan, based on the vendor's own comparison of monthly versus annual per-user rates

Fyle

  • Billed per active user, defined as anyone who creates an expense or has a connected card with transactions in the month, so headcount does not predict the bill
  • The Growth plan carries a 5 user minimum and the Business plan a 10 user minimum, so the entry cost is set by the floor rather than the team
  • API access and the Sage Intacct and NetSuite integrations require a paid tier
  • ACH reimbursements and project expense tracking sit above the entry plan
  • Both published plans are billed annually
  • Enterprise pricing is custom and aimed at organisations with 250 or more employees
