Check your target employer's rules before using live help.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.In the US, start on Growing unless you send fewer than 20 invoices a month.
