The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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; Stampli pricing is by quote only: the pricing page publishes no rate, no minimum and no cost driver, offering only a Request a Quote form
  • They diverge on capability: Fyle covers Real-time card tracking, Stampli covers AI invoice processing.

Where each one falls short

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

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

Stampli

  • Pricing is by quote only: the pricing page publishes no rate, no minimum and no cost driver, offering only a Request a Quote form
  • Payments and card products are sold alongside the core AP automation rather than being separately priced on the public site
