Each has a real cost: Dinero free tier only for turnover under 100,000 DKK annually; Spendbase charging a share of savings gives the vendor an interest in defining savings generously, and the customer cannot verify a counterfactual price it never saw.

Where each one falls short

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

Dinero

Free tier only for turnover under 100,000 DKK annually
Monthly billing costs 52 DKK more than annual on Starter+

Spendbase

Charging a share of savings gives the vendor an interest in defining savings generously, and the customer cannot verify a counterfactual price it never saw.
The savings share is reported at around 25 percent but is not published on the pricing page, so the actual commercial terms only appear in a contract.
Spendbase is both a banking provider and your software negotiator, so a company using both concentrates operating cash and vendor relationships in one small, young company.
Banking is delivered through partners rather than held directly, meaning deposit protection and service continuity depend on those partners rather than on Spendbase.
It is scoped for startups and small companies, so organisations needing approval workflows, purchase orders or ERP integration will find it thin against a real procurement platform.
