## The answer, as recorded

> ## Where I'd start
> 
> **1. Navan** - Best default for most small businesses. Travel booking is free (funded by supplier commissions), and Navan Business is free for companies up to ~300 employees with unlimited trips. Expense management is free for your first five expensing users, then $15/user/month. So a 10-person company with a couple of people filing expenses effectively pays nothing. It's one app for booking, cards, approvals, and reimbursement, which is the main reason adoption actually sticks at small companies - people don't want a second tool. Watch the math as you grow: at ~50 expensing users it's ~$750/month.

Free Starter tier with no platform fee, Premium at $99/month, Pro at $299/month, plus a per-booking fee (5% Starter, 3% paid tiers, min $2 / max $30). Deepest inventory of the bunch - flights, hotels, cars, trains, and short-term rentals in one place - and FlexiPerk/FlexiTravel gives you ~80% back on las
