Payhawk report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 12, 2026
Best for cards, expenses and payables for EU companies
Payhawk combines corporate cards, automatic expense creation, payables, procurement and accounting automation. No prices are published, the big ERPs and budgeting are paid add-ons, and currency conversion carries a mark-up.
Who Payhawk is for
- Fits if you want cards, expenses and payables on one platform
- Works for firms on the accounting systems it lists
Who Payhawk is not for
- Pricey if you can't see a price, as the page leads to a demo
- Watch out: NetSuite, Dynamics 365, SAP S/4HANA and advanced HR links are add-ons
- Watch out: currency conversion carries a 0.3% mark-up on EUR, GBP, USD and CHF and 0.7% on DKK and PLN
- Tight if you need budgets or travel, as both are paid add-ons
- Skip it if you use Android, as only a web and iOS listing is on record

Keep Payhawk, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Payhawk you would be making cards issued through a bank. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 26 of the 51 other spend and bill pay tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Expense tracking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Cards issued through a bank.
- Money moved between bank accounts, which takes a licensed payments partner.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Payhawk’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
