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
Zenefits
- Product discontinued by parent company TriNet
- Remaining customers forced to migrate to more expensive TriNet products
