Brex vs. Emburse SpringAhead

A great corporate card for startups. Easy to use and set up, easy search and track spending. I would recommend it to tech companies looking for an interface and experience that vastly improves on existing banks. Also great to have a large line of credit compared to what's offered traditionally

It's definitely well suited for all organizations with knowledge workers who use computers to do their work and are able to log in and enter their time on a regular basis. I've always had access to it as part of my job and love using SpringAhead. It may be less appropriate in a role where the worker does not have regular access to a computer to enter their hours digitally.

• Rewards - The rewards were the main reason for us switching. Our previous card provider did not have a good rewards program.
• User Interface and experience - When a charge is recorded on the Brex card, users immediately receive a text notification asking them to send a picture of their receipt. Brex automatically attaches the receipts to the charge which has saved our users a significant amount of time.

• Their Quickbooks integration just updated and is now a nightmare.
• It would be nice if I got more fraud review activities for my employees.
• I want them to go back to their old export system into Quickbooks

• The reporting is not perfect. When I am trying to find history for one person it is very cumbersome to get the info you need.
• At the current use there is no integration with an expense tracking tool. We had a separate app to track expenses vs. time.
• Only resources on the project can view time. External customers could not log in to see users' time against the project. Instead they waited for invoices or status reports.

Prompt and always extremely fast to respond. I also think the intuitiveness of their solution negates the need for much support

We use and thoroughly enjoy both. One we use as our main bank and Brex as our credit card provider. I'd say they serve different purposes (with Brex we get points), whereas Mercury we mostly use for wire transfers. We did initially start using Mercury because we needed a checking account, but Brex has been nice because of the rewards and the way it works to track expenses and cards.

We selected SpringAhead because of price and usability. This tool is easy to set up and configure. It is a cloud application allowing access from anywhere. There were no training requirements. When you have a small use case this tool is the way to go. We moved off SpringAhead to get more functionality and it has required a lot more training and effort to maintain and utilize

• No fee wire transfer.
• Net 60 credit card terms is good for our cashflow.
• Fast and easy employee credit cards saves us time.

• They fit the purpose of time keeping and expense reports but it could always be a whole lot better
