A Brex alternative that works with the cards you already have

Brex is a capable corporate-card and spend platform, popular with startups and scaling enterprises. It pairs cards with expense management, approvals and reporting, and many teams value the integrated experience and the ecosystem around it. The point buyers raise when weighing Brex alternatives is similar to other card-led platforms: realizing the full benefit usually means adopting Brex cards and shifting parts of your banking and credit setup.

Expenditure is software-first and designed to sit on top of the cards and banks you already run. It reads receipts, categorizes to the right GL account, enforces policy, gives a real-time view of every dollar across cards, vendors and subscriptions, and proactively flags duplicate tools, unused seats and price creep. You get the modern AI categorization, real-time visibility and proactive savings without issuing new cards, on transparent per-seat pricing.
