Which plan to pickThere is one route in: book a demo and get a quote. Ask for a pilot with a small group on real matters, and get the per-seat price, minimum seats and renewal terms in writing before you commit.Price depends on invoice volume and the modules you add. Start with invoice processing and approvals, and add payments or cards only once the core is working.
