Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. Navan (formerly TripActions)** - My default recommendation for most small businesses. Travel booking, corporate cards, and expense management in one platform, and the travel product is **free for companies up to ~300 employees** because it's funded by supplier commissions. Expense is free for the first 5 users, then ~$15/user/month. The main knock in reviews is support responsiveness - you're often in chat/AI queues rather than talking to a dedicated agent. ([navan.com](https://navan.com/blog/best-corporate-travel-agencies), [ecommerceparadise.com](https://ecommerceparadise.com/navan-pricing/))\n\n**2. Perk (formerly TravelPerk)** - The best fit if you travel *infrequently* and don't want a subscription. Pricing is per-booking rather than per-seat: Starter is $0/month with ~5% per transaction capped at $30/booking; Premium $99/mo + 3%; Pro $299/mo + 3%.
