How we grade them
| 1.6GPALibeoWeak | 2.2GPASpendeskFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published, so it can't be set against the category's $7.50, $12 and $20 figures. Middle by default. | CNo price is published, so it sits in the middle by our rule. Spendesk quotes a fixed monthly platform fee plus variable fees on card purchases, invoice payments and expense claims, so there's no monthly figure for a ten-person company. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial on record; the pricing page leads to a demo request. | FNothing free. There's no free plan or published free trial, only a demo and a product tour. |
| Features | CSupplier invoices and payments, approval flows and rights, payment cards, budgets, multi-entity management and e-invoicing. The listing shows it is built for French payables rather than expense reports. | BThe whole job: unlimited cards of four kinds, receipt rules and OCR, expense claims, live budgets, multi-entity reporting, an open API and an MCP connector, with accounts payable and procurement sold as add-ons. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Approval flows and accounting connections to set up first. | B4.7 from 637 App Store ratings, high but short of the 1,000 we want for the top band. Receipt reminders run themselves once the rules are set. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only on record, with four integrations. No mobile apps listed. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Xero, QuickBooks, DATEV, Slack and an open API. No desktop app is listed, and HR and ERP integrations are an add-on. |

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.
