Where each one falls short

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

Hnry

  • Service limited to self-employed sole traders in New Zealand only
  • 1% + GST fee with $1,500 annual maximum cap
  • Minimum $0.50 fee per transaction for payments under $50

Rydoo

  • A five-user minimum means very small teams pay for seats they do not have, which removes Rydoo from consideration for firms of two or three.
  • Pricing is per user rather than per active user, so organisations where most staff claim expenses twice a year still pay a full seat every month for them.
  • There is no card issuing, so real-time spend control and pre-authorisation are outside the product and remain with your bank.
  • Per diem and multi-entity handling sit on the higher tier, so the countries that most need Rydoo generally cannot buy the cheap plan.
  • Receipt extraction quality varies by language and receipt format, and finance teams still review a meaningful share of claims by hand.
