Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Focus Softnet
- No specific pricing plans, tiers, or costs are published on the website
- Requires direct contact and free demo request to obtain pricing information
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.
