Airbase pricing
Airbase publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 30 August 2026, Airbase pricing is $29/month across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Airbase plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Premium | $10/month | 3 | +$10/month, 3 more features |
| Enterprise | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Airbase in for a company that has outgrown one shared company card and needs per person and per subscription cards with real limits, a finance team where supplier invoices arrive in an inbox and approval is whoever replies, with no record afterwards, a controller trying to close the month without rebuilding card and expense coding from statements every time, an organisation that wants spend approved before it is committed rather than discovered when the invoice arrives. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Airbase are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Airbase
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Airbase against the tools that do have one before committing.
Airbase runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Airbase Inc of San Francisco, CA. The full record is on the Airbase review, and the rest of the category is under best accounting tools.

- What is the difference between Standard and Premium on Airbase?
- Premium costs $10/month against Free, and adds advanced approvals, netsuite sync, procurement.

- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is custom workflows, api access, dedicated support. It costs On request against $10/month for Premium.
