## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-23 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My shortlist, in the order I'd actually recommend them
> 
> **1. Navan** - My default recommendation for most small businesses. Travel booking is free for companies up to ~200-300 employees (they make money on supplier commissions), expense management is free for the first 5 users then ~$15/user/month. Good inventory, real policy controls, and a genuinely usable mobile app. Start here unless you have a specific reason not to. [engine.com/blog/navan-pricing](https://engine.com/blog/navan-pricing)
> 
> **2. TravelPerk** - The better pick if booking flexibility and inventory breadth matter more than expense features. Strongest coverage of trains and European carriers, 24/7 human support with fast response targets, and FlexiPerk (pay a premium to cancel anything up to 2 hours out) is genuinely useful if your plans change a lot. Free tier plus ~5% per booking. [travelperk.com/travelperk-vs-navan](https://travelperk.com/travelperk-vs-navan)
> 
> **3. Ramp Travel** - Only if you're already using Ramp for cards and expenses. It's free, built on a Priceline partnership, and the card-to-receipt reconciliation is the best part. Inventory and self-service change options are thinner than Navan's or Trav
