Which one is for you
Pick Jeeves if
- Fits if you want free virtual cards for up to 10 people and basic receipt capture
- Works for firms ready to pay Gold for card controls and bulk bill pay
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay on Basic, as card controls, reimbursements, bulk bill pay and ERP links all need Gold
- Pricey if you are small, as Gold has a 10-user minimum and starts at $120 a month
- Watch out: the Gold card says $6 per user and the comparison table says $10, so confirm before signing
- Watch out: API integrations are listed at $3,500 with no billing period
- Skip it if you want a bank, as Jeeves says it is not one and cards come from partner banks
Pick Navan if
- Fits if most of your spending is business travel
- Works for companies under 300 people who want travel booking for free
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if lots of people claim expenses, at $15 a month for each one past 5
- Skip it if you need supplier bills paid or invoices sent from the same tool
- Not for you if you're over 300 employees and want it free, as that means Enterprise by quote
- Watch out: linked American Express cards report once a day, not in real time like Visa and Mastercard
- Watch out: Navan Expense's billing term isn't stated, and there's no desktop app
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAJeevesFair | 2.8GPANavanGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DGold is $60 a month plus $6 per user with 10 users minimum, so at least $120 a month, well above the category's middle of $12 per seat. The comparison table shows $10 per user, which would make it $160. | CGraded against its expense-tool alternatives. If all ten people claim in a month, the 5 beyond the free 5 cost $15 each, so $75 a month, with travel booking free. That's dearer than Expensify or Zoho Expense for ten, and Ramp and Brex do expenses for nothing. |
| Free plan and trial | CBasic is free for up to 10 users with unlimited virtual cards, one card per user and receipt capture. You hit the limit fast, as controls, reimbursements and bill pay are not in it. | BNavan Business is free for up to 300 employees, with travel booking, policies and 24/7 travel agents, plus expenses for 5 users a month. A small team could live on it until a sixth person claims. |
| Features | CCards, expenses, supplier invoices, bulk bill pay, AI document handling and accounting integrations. Card controls, reimbursements and ERP links are Gold features. | CTravel and expenses are done fully: booking, policies, Navan cards, linked cards, receipt photos and reimbursements. It's a narrower job than the category's, though, with no supplier bill pay or invoicing listed. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Cards, accounting links and approvals to set up before it works. | A4.8 from 47,373 App Store ratings, the top band. Booking a trip and snapping the receipt happen in the same app. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb plus iPhone and Android apps, with three integrations on record. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Xero, Workday, Rippling, BambooHR, Okta and Slack. No desktop app is listed. |

- API integrations are listed at $3,500 on Gold with no billing period shown.

Navan

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
