Where each one falls short

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

Fiken

  • Bank integration available only as add-on (69 NOK/month)
  • Project accounting requires separate add-on (69 NOK/month)
  • Payroll and employee features cost extra (69 NOK/month)
  • Physical mail invoicing costs 25 NOK per invoice

Happay

  • The platform has changed owner twice since 2021, from founders to CRED to MakeMyTrip, and each transition has meant leadership churn and roadmap reprioritisation.
  • It is now owned by an online travel agency, so the incentive is to grow travel bookings, and expense-only customers are not the strategic centre of the product.
  • Card issuance depends on partner bank relationships, so limits, approval times and product features are constrained by a bank the customer does not choose.
  • Coverage is overwhelmingly India-specific, which makes it unsuitable as a group-wide platform for companies with foreign subsidiaries.
  • Integration depth outside common Indian ERP and accounting systems is thin, and connecting a global SAP instance usually needs bespoke work.
