Which plan to pickStart is enough if your team mainly vouches and ticks figures. Accelerate is where the AI agents come in, which is what most teams buying now want. Ask about seat minimums before you commit.Start on Free. It already covers cards, receipts, bill pay and accounting sync for most small teams. Take the 30-day Plus trial when you need approval chains, policy checks or NetSuite, and get the platform fee for your team size in writing first.Run the 7-day trial on contracts you actually negotiate, then ask for a quote. Get the per-seat price and any minimum term in writing, as third-party reports put prices anywhere from under US$200 to around US$350 per user a month.
