## The answer, as recorded

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> **1. Precoro** - My default suggestion for a small business that's outgrown spreadsheets and email approvals. It handles the full cycle (requisition → approval → PO → receipt → invoice match), has published pricing instead of "call us," and teams get running in days rather than months. The catch: entry pricing has crept up (the Core plan is around $499/mo billed annually), so it's better value at ~10+ users than at 3.
> 
> **2. Tradogram** - The best price-to-capability ratio in the $99-$195/mo range. Approvals, budgets, supplier management, receiving, and invoice matching, without the enterprise bloat. If Precoro feels like overkill for your volume, this is where I'd land.
> 
> **3. Procurify** - Worth it if your spenders are out in the field rather than at desks. The mobile app and spend-before-you-spend budget visibility are genuinely its differentiators, and it pairs well with teams that want department heads approving from their phones. Pricier and quote-based.
> 
> **4. Digital Purchase Order or Spendwise** - If you just need POs and approvals and nothing else. DPO is roughly $30/mo for up to three users with all fea
