The short version

  • Only Moneybird has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Moneybird compact tier severely limits functionality with only 5 monthly transactions; Soldo cards are prepaid, so if the central wallet runs low the cards decline in front of a supplier, and treasury has to keep an idle float funded rather than using a credit line.

Where each one falls short

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

Moneybird

  • Compact tier severely limits functionality with only 5 monthly transactions
  • Bank connections limited to 5 on Start and Groei tiers until Compleet level
  • Multi-user support only available starting at Groei tier (29 EUR/month)

Soldo

  • Cards are prepaid, so if the central wallet runs low the cards decline in front of a supplier, and treasury has to keep an idle float funded rather than using a credit line.
  • The plan fee covers only three users, and per-user charges plus physical card fees mean the real monthly cost is several times the advertised headline for a team of twenty.
  • It does not extend credit, so it gives no working capital benefit and no card rewards of the kind US charge card issuers use to offset their cost.
  • Sole traders and some business types are not accepted, which catches out small consultancies expecting to sign up online.
  • Coverage is European; a company with US or Asian subsidiaries will need a second card programme and a second expense workflow for them.
