## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-12 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually rank these for a small business, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> **1. Navan (formerly TripActions) - my default recommendation**
> The "Navan Business" tier is free for small and mid-size companies, and it bundles travel booking *and* expense management in one place, which is the real win if you're a small team without a finance department. Corporate card, receipt capture, policy enforcement, and booking all live together instead of you reconciling three systems. Verified users ranked it #1 overall and #1 in the small-business segment in the 2026 G2 rankings. Start here unless you have a specific reason not to.
> 
> **2. Perk (formerly TravelPerk) - best if booking variety matters most**
> Widest inventory of the modern platforms (including rail and low-cost carriers that others miss), and genuinely the nicest booking UX. FlexiPerk lets you cancel almost anything for a partial refund, which is worth real money if your plans shift. Free tier covers your first five bookings a month, then it's a percentage per booking - note that pricing detail comes from Engine's comparison page, and Engine is a direct competitor, so confirm current terms with Perk directly.
> 
> **3.
