The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Cin7 sales orders are capped annually rather than monthly, at 6,000 on Standard, 24,000 on Pro and 120,000 on Advanced; 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
  • They diverge on capability: Cin7 covers Inventory management, Fyle covers Real-time card tracking.

Where each one falls short

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

Cin7

  • Sales orders are capped annually rather than monthly, at 6,000 on Standard, 24,000 on Pro and 120,000 on Advanced
  • Ecommerce and app integrations are rationed by plan, at 2, 4 and 6
  • User seats are capped at 5, 10 and 15 by plan
  • The entry Standard plan is $349 a month and Advanced is $1,199
  • Additional users, integrations and order volume are all chargeable extras on top of the plan

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
