## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My actual shortlist
> 
> **1. Navan** - my default recommendation. Travel booking is free for companies under ~300 employees, the inventory is deep (air/hotel/rail/car), policy and approvals are built in, and it's the strongest option if you want travel *and* expense/corporate cards in one system. Expense runs ~$15/user/mo beyond the first few seats. Best value-for-nothing in the category. ([navan.com](https://navan.com/resources/compare/navan-vs-travelperk))
> 
> **2. TravelPerk** - the best *pure* travel-management tool, and the one with the most genuine small-business traction (G2 shows a much higher share of SMB reviewers than Navan). Free starter tier, consumer-grade booking UX, 24/7 agent support, and FlexiPerk - pay a premium for any booking and get a partial refund on any cancellation, which is unusually valuable when a 4-person team's plans shift constantly. Strongest coverage in Europe/UK rail and hotels. ([travelperk.com](https://www.travelperk.com/travelperk-vs-navan), [g2.com](https://g2.com/compare/travelperk-vs-navan-formerly-tripactions))
> 
> **3. Ramp Travel** - if you already use Ramp for cards and expenses, don't buy a separate tool. Booking (Priceline inventory) is incl
