Where each one falls short

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

Conta Azul

  • Entry Essencial plan is restricted to businesses earning up to R$81K annually and only 1 user access, so it does not scale with the company
  • Plan eligibility is tied to annual revenue bands (up to R$81K, R$81K-R$360K, R$360K-R$1.5M, R$1.5M+), not just feature needs, so a fast-growing business must upgrade plans as revenue crosses thresholds

Brex

  • The free Essentials tier is limited to two legal entities
  • Premium is $12 per user per month, so cost scales with headcount using the card
  • Enterprise and Smart Card pricing is not published
  • Eligibility criteria are not stated anywhere on the pricing page, which matters for a product that extends credit
