## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> ## 1. TravelPerk (now branding as Perk) - best default for most small businesses
> Purpose-built for SMBs rather than an enterprise tool scaled down. Free Starter tier for teams under ~50 travelers, huge inventory (including Booking.com and low-cost carriers), and FlexiPerk, which lets you cancel any trip for ~80% back - genuinely useful when your plans are volatile. Weak spot: it's a travel platform, not an expense platform, so you'll still need Expensify/Ramp/Brex alongside it. G2 ~4.6/5.

> 
> ## 2. Navan (formerly TripActions) - best if you want travel + cards + expense in one
> No subscription fee for core booking and policy controls (they make money on supplier commissions), plus expense management free for the first five users. The real draw is that the Navan corporate card auto-reconciles trip spend, so nobody chases receipts. It's the better pick once travel spend gets meaningful - call it $150K+/year - or if you're sick of stitching together three vendors. ([navan.com](http
