How to choose

Which purchasing steps does the software need to cover?

Start with the steps your team needs, such as purchase requests, approval workflows and purchase order management.

Compare supplier management as well, then check that the product covers the parts of purchasing you plan to handle with it.

Does it connect to my accounting software?

Check the accounting integrations listed for a product before choosing it.

The comparison includes accounting integrations, but the specific connections can vary; confirm that your accounting software is supported.

Which devices and platforms can I use?

Check platform support against the devices and access methods your team needs, including web, iOS, Android, API, self-hosted or extension options.

Mobile access is a separate comparison point, so review it if staff need to handle purchasing away from a desktop.

How can I compare plans and pricing?

Check whether a product has a free plan, a free trial or paid pricing, and look for a stated starting price.

What do the API, open-source and free-tier marks mean?

The marks indicate whether a product has a public API, open-source code or a free tier to try.

If you need software that can be changed or run on your own infrastructure, check its open-source and self-hosted details. A free trial and a free plan are different: compare the terms shown for each product.
