  • Each has a real cost: FloQast no pricing is published, and the vendor states packages scale with business outcomes rather than seat count, which gives a buyer no unit to estimate against; Adyen there is a minimum monthly invoice, set by industry and business model and only disclosed through the sales team, so small volumes are not economic
  • They diverge on capability: FloQast covers Close management, Adyen covers Payment processing.

Where each one falls short

FloQast

  • No pricing is published, and the vendor states packages scale with business outcomes rather than seat count, which gives a buyer no unit to estimate against
  • The product is split into five separately packaged solution categories
  • Every route to a figure runs through a personalised demo

Adyen

  • There is a minimum monthly invoice, set by industry and business model and only disclosed through the sales team, so small volumes are not economic
  • Published fees are indicative rather than a rate card, with real pricing negotiated
  • Interchange++ means the card cost varies per transaction rather than being a single predictable percentage
  • Alternative payment methods carry their own rates on top, such as 3.3 percent plus $0.10 for American Express in North America
