Where each one falls short

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

Corporate Traveller

  • Service quality depends heavily on the individual consultant assigned, and a consultant leaving is a real disruption because the relationship rather than the software carries the institutional knowledge.
  • Agency revenue includes supplier commissions and overrides that are not disclosed to the client, so the cheapest option for you and the most profitable option for the agency are not always the same booking.
  • Melon is competent but narrower than TravelPerk or Navan on self-service features, and companies that genuinely want no human involvement will resent paying for one.
  • Consultant-assisted bookings carry meaningfully higher fees than online ones, and the fee mix is where an apparently cheap contract turns expensive.
  • It operates through separate country entities with different content, contracts and service hours, so a multi-country roll-out is several negotiations rather than one.

GlossGenius

  • Card payments are charged at a flat 2.6 percent, and instant payouts cost a further 1.8 percent
  • Forms and waivers, waitlists and Google booking need the Gold plan at $56 a month
  • Team analytics, custom commissions and unlimited team members require Platinum at $168 a month
  • The medspa plans start where the beauty Platinum plan does, at $168 a month, rising to $298 for the full clinical suite
  • Payroll is a separate add-on at $40 a month plus $6 per staff member
