2025 comparison — automated expense management vs. full ERP management: which solution offers the best value for money?
Two approaches to business spending
Spendesk is a financial management solution that combines a business card, payment tracking, and expense automation. It is mainly aimed at accounting departments and finance departments. eBrigade, for its part, integrates the expense report function:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} into a complete ERP :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} to offer a global management of missions, personnel and invoicing.
Professional card or integrated ERP: a question of scope
Spendesk focuses on the expense and validation of payments. eBrigade goes further: each expense report can be linked to a mission, an employee or a project, which facilitates analytical and budgetary monitoring. An ideal approach for multi-site structures or federations.
Pricing: the business model makes the difference
Spendesk charges by the card and by the volume of transactions, which can quickly add up costs. eBrigade, on the other hand, keeps a single and transparent price: €35/month for 200 active users, all included.
This positioning makes eBrigade a low-cost expense report software that integrates all the essential management modules.
