Navan

85/100

Navan excels for organizations with 50-300 employees booking regular business travel who want to consolidate T&E spend. Finance teams benefit from automated reconciliation and built-in corporate cards, but very small teams (under 5 users) may find cheaper point solutions sufficient. Companies over 300 employees require Enterprise for full functionality.

Rippling

82/100

Rippling excels for companies with 50-2,000 employees that need to automate employee lifecycle management across HR, IT, and Finance. HR and IT teams benefit most from the unified data model and granular permissioning. Small businesses with simple needs often find the platform overly complex and expensive compared to standalone payroll providers.
