Why choose Visma Netvisor

• Better fit for small business (8/10 vs 4/10)
• Includes General Ledger, which Brex lacks

Brex

Pros

• The Essentials tier is free and includes cards, bill pay, reimbursements, travel booking, API access and accounting integrations.
• Card limits are underwritten on cash balance and revenue rather than a founder's personal guarantee, which helps startups without a credit history.
• Direct ERP syncs cover NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage Intacct, Business Central and newer AI-native ERPs such as Rillet and Campfire, and a two-way Accounting API launched in January 2026.
• Brex holds SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II attestations, is PCI-DSS compliant and supports SAML or OIDC single sign-on.
• Brex releases updates often. The September 2026 release alone added more than 30 features, including passkeys, p-card policy rules and access to Brex data from ChatGPT, Claude and Slack.
• Pricing is published at 12 USD per user per month for Premium, and G2 reviewers rate the product highly, at about 4.8 out of 5.

Cons

• Brex has a history of abrupt account closures and eligibility changes, and it left the small-business market in 2022.
• Credit limits move with the company's cash balance, which some reviewers find unpredictable.
• Card purchases that need currency conversion carry an FX markup of up to 3 percent, built into the exchange rate.
• It is not a general ledger. Bookkeeping and financial statements still need a separate ERP or accounting system.
• Some support and setup experiences are poor, including a clunky HRIS integration setup reported on Gartner Peer Insights.
• The Capital One acquisition could slow feature shipping during integration, according to industry commentary.

Visma Netvisor

Pros

• Large Finnish accounting-office network of more than 800 partner firms, which makes outsourcing bookkeeping easy.
• Payroll, expense claims, inventory and Controller budgeting all sit in one system, sized to Finnish rules.
• Starter's flat fee covers 1,000 common transactions, which is predictable for companies with higher volumes.
• Free 30-day trial with no credit card, and it does not convert automatically to a paid plan.
• Data is hosted on AWS in Germany and Sweden, inside the EU and EEA.

Cons

• Package fees rise with the turnover band, and the official page does not show every band's price.
• Basic and Core charge per transaction, so monthly costs vary.
• The full API requires Professional or higher.
• Built for Finland, so it offers little for companies operating elsewhere.
• Visma's trust page shows no Netvisor-specific audit reports or certifications, only AWS's ISO 27001.
• Few independent user reviews were found on major review sites.
