The short version

  • Only Netvisor has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Kodo kodo is not a licensed issuer, so card limits, settlement cycles and eligibility come from a partner bank whose terms you do not directly control and which can change the programme.; Netvisor pricing is a base fee plus a charge per sales invoice, per purchase invoice, per payslip and per other transaction, so a company with high document volumes pays a bill that scales with trading activity and cannot be budgeted as a fixed monthly cost.
  • They diverge on capability: Kodo covers Corporate cards, Netvisor covers Finnish general ledger.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Kodo

  • Kodo is not a licensed issuer, so card limits, settlement cycles and eligibility come from a partner bank whose terms you do not directly control and which can change the programme.
  • Indian regulatory changes on prepaid instruments and card issuing partnerships have repeatedly disrupted fintech card programmes, so continuity risk is higher here than in equivalent European or United States products.
  • Pricing is not published, so comparing Kodo against Happay, Zoho Expense or a bank corporate card requires a full sales cycle and disclosure of your spend volumes.
  • Coverage is India only, so any group with overseas subsidiaries runs a second card and payables system and loses the consolidated view.
  • The intake to pay workflow is lighter than a dedicated procurement suite, with limited contract management and supplier onboarding, so regulated or heavily audited buyers will find gaps.

Netvisor

  • Pricing is a base fee plus a charge per sales invoice, per purchase invoice, per payslip and per other transaction, so a company with high document volumes pays a bill that scales with trading activity and cannot be budgeted as a fixed monthly cost.
  • It serves Finland, so the tax and payroll logic is useless to entities filing elsewhere, and a Nordic group ends up running a different system in each country even where they belong to the same corporate family.
  • The interface, help material and support operate in Finnish, so a foreign owned subsidiary needs a Finnish speaking bookkeeper or accounting firm to operate it and cannot supervise it directly from head office.
  • Finnish payroll requires collective agreement terms to be configured correctly, and getting holiday pay, supplements and shift rules right is specialist work usually done by a partner, so payroll implementation is a paid project rather than a setup wizard.
  • Because most deployments come through an accounting firm, the practical service you receive depends on that firm's competence with the product, and changing accountant can mean changing system or inheriting a configuration nobody documented.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Kodo: Who actually issues the cards?

A partner bank under a card network arrangement, not Kodo. Ask which bank, whether the product is credit or prepaid, and what happens to your limits if the partnership changes.

Netvisor: Is Netvisor usable outside Finland?

Not as a compliance system. The value is the Finnish tax, banking, e-invoicing and payroll logic. Companies filing elsewhere should look at the local product in the Visma range or another local vendor.

Kodo: Is pricing published?

No. Kodo quotes per customer, so benchmark against at least two Indian rivals before signing.

Netvisor: Why is the pricing structured per transaction?

It reflects a Finnish market convention where the accounting firm's fee also scales with document volume. It means a low volume company pays very little and a high volume one pays a great deal, so estimate your annual invoice and payslip counts before comparing headline prices.

Kodo: Does Kodo work outside India?

No meaningful coverage outside India for card issuing or payouts.

Netvisor: Can my accounting firm work in it with me?

Yes, that is the intended model. The practice and the client share one instance with different roles, so the firm does the bookkeeping while you approve purchase invoices and issue sales invoices.

Netvisor: Does it handle payroll for collective agreements?

It supports Finnish collective agreement based payroll, but configuring the specific agreement terms correctly is expert work normally done during a paid implementation. Do not assume payroll is switched on the same week as accounting.

Netvisor: What about the incomes register?

Reporting earnings to the national incomes register within the statutory deadline is built in, which is one of the main reasons Finnish employers use a local product rather than an international one.

Netvisor: Is it a full ERP?

It includes inventory and fixed assets alongside the ledger, which covers a good deal of a small distributor's needs, but it is a financial management system rather than a manufacturing or full supply chain ERP.
