Where each one falls short

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

Egencia

Pricing is per transaction and offline touches cost several times an online booking, so a programme with many complex multi-leg itineraries pays far more than the headline online fee suggests.
It is now a service tier inside Amex GBT rather than an independent supplier, so a competitive process that shortlists both Egencia and Amex GBT is not really two bids.
Regional content and service quality are uneven, and companies with travellers in smaller markets often find local fares and hotels missing from the tool and end up going offline.
Implementation to load negotiated rates and configure policy typically runs months, and rate loading errors surface as travellers seeing the wrong prices rather than as a clean failure.
Because the platform underwent a relaunch on new architecture, customers migrating from the older Egencia stack have faced feature parity gaps and retraining during the transition.

Spotnana

It is infrastructure, not a branded product a company books through directly, so an employer cannot simply sign up and start booking travel; they must go through a partner that has built on Spotnana.
Pricing is entirely undisclosed and structured partner by partner, so there is no way to benchmark cost without already being in a sales process.
A company evaluating a partner's travel feature is really evaluating Spotnana one layer removed, and problems in Spotnana's content or uptime become the partner's problem to explain, with limited transparency into where a fault originated.
As a comparatively young infrastructure provider next to Sabre, Amadeus and Travelport, its content depth and edge-case servicing in some markets and with some carriers still lag the incumbent GDS networks.
Because multiple competing brands (TMCs, card issuers, expense tools) run on the same underlying platform, a company cannot assume switching partner brand meaningfully changes its underlying travel content or reliability.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Egencia: Is Egencia still sold under its own name?

Yes. Amex GBT bought it in 2021 and kept the brand, relaunching it in 2026 with a conversational AI assistant and a Concur Expense integration.

Spotnana: Can our company buy Spotnana directly?

Generally no. It sells to travel management companies, card issuers and fintechs who then offer travel booking to end customers under their own brand.

Egencia: How is it different from Amex GBT itself?

Egencia is the more self-service, lower-touch tier of the same company, aimed at mid-market programmes; Amex GBT proper is the high-touch enterprise service.

Spotnana: Which products run on Spotnana?

Center's travel booking and Expensify's travel offering are both built on Spotnana, among other TMC and fintech partners.

Egencia: Does it replace an expense system?

No. It books travel and feeds data to expense tools such as SAP Concur; you still need an expense product.

Spotnana: Does it publish pricing?

No, pricing is negotiated per partner and not published.
