I use Airbases's physical card and PO process for work expenses as a user. I also use the app for on-the-go transaction management.

We originally were evaluating Stampli when looking for a corporate spend solution. We decided to go with Airbase for two reasons: 1) Pricing structure and 2) Employee Reimbursements. Airbase pricing was based on actual number of payments initiated, whereas Stampli was based on number of invoices read by their OCR software. For us, that meant that invoices received twice by vendors, or invoices that were not going to be paid via Stampli would all count towards our 'invoices processed' number, which we did not want to happen. Also, Stampli did not have the ability to process employee reimbursements, and Airbase included that functionality.

Much easier to use, the application in particular. Cost effective. One place for pretty much everything. Abacus had a better reimbursement process, but the other tools Airbase offered made it clear the direction we should go in.

Airbase is much more user-friendly than Expensify for the end user submitting reimbursements. When we selected Airbase, BILL did not have a virtual card program, which set Airbase apart from the rest.

I'm not a decision maker for choosing which vendor we use here. I believe Airbase was fairly new and my company was small as well, so they tend to like to partner with companies that have a lot of potential but the cost to use may be lower. We scale with you, I think, is the mindset.

This is based on my knowledge about these platforms as they were 4-5 years ago: Airbase is more user-friendly at all levels, but reporting needs some improvements. SAP Concur had great and complex reporting at that time, but it was not user-friendly, and it was the most expensive of all platforms that I have researched at that time. Microsoft Dynamics did not have the phone picture feature available at that time.

It has a better interface and better cashback, is easier to set up, and is just a much more complete product overall. Airbase is a start-up - they understand the challenges of start-ups, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. We migrated from bill.com to airbase and have never once thought about going back.

I have used various V Card and P Card solutions in the past, but I don't think any really compare to Airbase. It's really an all-in-one solution. There are a few more areas I think they should move into, but they've made significant progress there - such as procurement workflows. It's also very cost-effective for us, and all of our employees like the experience compared to others.

Accounting typically selects which software we use and being in FP&A I'm typically leverage the tool for approvals and to get more insights into vendors and spend. For my use case, I think all 3 are comparable and think Airbase stacks up well against the competition. I'm not sure how they compare on price.

Airbase is more robust, does more of our activities. With Expensify we would have to have continued to use other systems as well. We use Quickbooks for accounting but the invoice and billing process isn't robust enough for our needs, so that is why we use Airbase as well.

We chose Airbase for the virtual cards and cashback. Having complete control over our software spending via virtual cards was important to us for several reasons, including security, audit, budgetary, etc. We knew it had functions for expenses and bill payments, so we thought we would switch to them, but we were slow to do so. We would have switched sooner if we had known how good these functions were and that they were better than their counterparts.

After bidding out several vendors, we arrived at Airbase as our solution, as it seemed to be a better fit for our sized company that Paycom or Concur, which we deemed as more expensive and solutions for larger companies. Airbase was very fine tuned to our needs and made us feel important despite our size, which albeit a small consideration, is huge for us as a family-owned company.

Airbase had more robust payment options and a stronger mobile app than Spendesk. We like the digital credit cards offered that at the time Spendesk did not provide. Spendesk is a European company, so they are more established there than the United States. With Airbase being a US company, we felt like we may receive better support here in the States with them.
