## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-15 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For a small business, the real split is **software-first platforms** (self-serve, cheap, fast to set up) versus **traditional agencies** (human agents, hand-holding, negotiated rates). Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Navan** - My default recommendation for most small companies. Navan Business is free for companies up to 300 employees with unlimited trips, and it's the strongest of the bunch at combining travel *and* expense in one place with a native corporate card, so trips reconcile themselves instead of becoming a receipt-chasing exercise. The catch: expense is free only for the first five monthly expensing users, then ~$15/user/month, which adds up fast at 50+ people. Takes more configuration than the alternatives.

> 
> **2. Perk (formerly TravelPerk)** - The pick if you want flat, predictable pricing and fast setup. Free Starter plan, $99/mo Premium, $299/mo Pro, plus a per-booking fee (5% on Starter, 3% on paid, capped at $30). At 50 travelers that flat $99 beats Navan's per-user math badly.

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
