Travel and Expense Software Pricing Models Explained: User-Based vs Transaction-Based
SAP Concur blog explains two main T&E software pricing models: user-based and transaction-based. User-based suits small stable organizations but risks unused licenses; transaction-based charges for actual usage, offering flexibility, transparency, and scalability. Buyers should evaluate total value, not just sticker price.
