Fyle
- Billed per active user, defined as anyone who creates an expense or has a connected card with transactions in the month, so headcount does not predict the bill
- The Growth plan carries a 5 user minimum and the Business plan a 10 user minimum, so the entry cost is set by the floor rather than the team
- API access and the Sage Intacct and NetSuite integrations require a paid tier
- ACH reimbursements and project expense tracking sit above the entry plan
- Both published plans are billed annually
- Enterprise pricing is custom and aimed at organisations with 250 or more employees
Fiken
- Core functions beyond basic bookkeeping are unbundled add-ons billed separately, including bank connection, API access and payroll at 69-99 kr/month each on top of the 219 kr/month base plan (NOK)
- Tax filing is a separate annual add-on costing 1,290 kr for sole proprietors or 1,590 kr for AS companies, not included in the monthly subscription (NOK)
