- They diverge on capability: Fyle covers Real-time card tracking, Workato covers Process orchestration.

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
Workato
- The pricing page names four product lines, Enterprise iPaaS, Agentic solutions, API Management and Data Orchestration, and publishes no figure for any of them, gating all of it behind Schedule a demo
