Frequently Asked Questions

How does Travel Code compare with SAP Concur?

Travel Code is positioned for mid-market companies that want corporate travel booking, policy, approvals, expense, cards, and reconciliation with public flat-rate travel plans. SAP Concur is the stronger comparison for large enterprises with complex global travel programs, mature procurement processes, and many negotiated supplier contracts. Travel Code itself says Concur or BCD may be a better fit above 5,000 employees with many negotiated supplier contracts.

How does Travel Code compare with Navan?

Travel Code and Navan both sit in the travel, expense, and corporate card category. Travel Code is the better fit to evaluate when a buyer wants public flat travel-plan pricing, disclosed flight and rail service fees, unlimited travelers, SCIM, SSO, policy workflows, and direct travel inventory messaging. Navan is the broader established comparison for companies that want a larger all-in-one travel, expense, and card platform.

How does Travel Code compare with TravelPerk?

Travel Code and TravelPerk both address business travel booking, policy, approvals, traveler support, and travel operations. Travel Code’s differentiators in the approved feature research are public flat-rate travel plans, unlimited travelers, expense and card options, SSO and SCIM on Pro, and disclosed service fees for flight and rail bookings. TravelPerk is the stronger alternative to check when a buyer wants a widely known travel-management platform with a larger market footprint.

Is Travel Code better for spend management or expense management?

Travel Code fits spend management better than narrow expense management because it controls travel spend before and during booking, not just after employees submit receipts. The platform covers travel booking, policy controls, approvals, cards, legal entities, service-fee visibility, reconciliation, and reporting. Its separate expense and corporate card product can support expense workflows, but the broader buyer problem is travel spend control.

Does Travel Code support corporate cards?

Yes, Travel Code offers corporate cards as part of its separate expense management and corporate cards product. The approved feature research lists a Free expense tier for up to 20 users and a Scale tier at $12.99 per active user per month, with an optional credit line on Scale. Travel Code also states that its Visa Commercial Card is issued by Coastal Community Bank pursuant to a Visa license.

Does Travel Code help with travel policy approvals?

Yes, Travel Code includes travel policy templates on Starter, AI Policy Builder and customizable approval workflows on Premium, and unlimited advanced travel policies on Pro. The pricing table distinguishes single-tier, multi-tier, and dual approval workflows. This makes Travel Code more useful for companies that need booking controls before travel spend happens.

Does Travel Code charge booking fees?

Yes, Travel Code’s approved feature research found a transparent floating service fee on airline ticket and rail bookings. The fee is disclosed at checkout and shown on confirmations and monthly statements. The pricing page says there is no service fee on hotels, cars, transfers, group bookings under 10 travelers, or ancillary services.

Can Travel Code support multiple legal entities?

Yes, Travel Code supports multiple legal entities, but the limits depend on plan. Starter includes up to 2 legal entities, Premium includes up to 5, and Pro includes unlimited legal entities. This matters for finance teams that need travel spend, accounting fields, statements, and reconciliation separated across subsidiaries or operating entities.

Does Travel Code support SSO and SCIM?

Yes, Travel Code documents SSO and SCIM support on its higher plan. The approved feature research found SAML 2.0, OIDC, SCIM 2.0, Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, JumpCloud, OneLogin, API access, and webhooks. These controls are especially relevant for companies that want travel access to follow onboarding, role changes, and offboarding.

Is Travel Code suitable for very small companies?

Travel Code can work for smaller companies, especially because Starter is listed at $0 forever with unlimited travelers. The stronger fit, however, is a company that already needs travel policy controls, approvals, corporate travel reconciliation, service-fee visibility, or centralized travel operations. Very small teams that only book occasional trips may find a simpler booking or expense tool easier to justify.
