The short version

  • Only RudderStack has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: RudderStack on the free plan data processing stops after a second consecutive overage rather than being billed, so exceeding 250,000 events twice breaks the pipeline; SAP Concur listed on UK G-Cloud 14 at £0.21 to £9.70 per unit for SAP Concur Travel & Expense Professional Edition, submitted directly by SAP Concur, with the unit and billing period not further defined on the listing
  • They diverge on capability: RudderStack covers Data collection, SAP Concur covers Expense management.

Where each one falls short

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

RudderStack

  • On the free plan data processing stops after a second consecutive overage rather than being billed, so exceeding 250,000 events twice breaks the pipeline
  • The free plan allows 250,000 events a month
  • Growth starts at $265 a month for 1 million events, with volume sold in tiers up to 25 million
  • Overage is charged as the gap to the next tier's price rather than per event, so a small excess costs a full tier step

SAP Concur

  • Listed on UK G-Cloud 14 at £0.21 to £9.70 per unit for SAP Concur Travel & Expense Professional Edition, submitted directly by SAP Concur, with the unit and billing period not further defined on the listing
