The panel's verdict
Rydoo is a SaaS expense platform whose public prices exist only for Essentials (€8 per user per month billed annually, €10 monthly) and Pro (€10 annually, €12 monthly), with a five-user minimum. It scores strongest on sovereignty at 7-8 and accounting export at 6-7, weakest on cards and spend control at 4, with approval, policy, reimbursement and VAT at 4-5. The DATEV handoff is the best-evidenced area — direct API via the Buchungsdatenservice, receipt images synced to Belege and Unternehmen Online — though employee reimbursement is initiated only after expenses are processed in DATEV. Sovereignty rests on a Belgian contracting entity in Mechelen, application data within Microsoft Azure data centres located in the EU, a published subprocessor list, and ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI DSS; support also runs through the USA and Brazil, bank-statement checks through India, under EU model clauses. Judges barely split: criteria span at most one point and the flagged splits flag nothing. Pricing transparency at 5-6 is capped by unpriced Business and Enterprise tiers, where Rydoo Cards and API access sit.
Speaks for it
- Direct DATEV sync via API and the Buchungsdatenservice, with receipt images flowing to Belege and Unternehmen Online on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule
- Application data stored within Microsoft Azure data centres located in the EU, with a published subprocessor list naming each processor's country and contractual safeguard
- ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI DSS stated with their scope on the vendor's security pages
- Public per-user prices for Essentials (€8) and Pro (€10) per user per month billed annually, with a 14-day trial starting immediately after sign-up
- A data export on termination in a predefined format such as a zip file, with encryption in transit (TLS v.1.2 minimum) and at rest (AES TDE)
Held against it
- No public price on the captured pricing page for Business and Enterprise, the tiers carrying Rydoo Cards, SFTP and API access
- We found no public information on card limits, virtual or single-use cards, budgets, real-time notifications or the issuing institution behind Rydoo Cards
- Reimbursement to employees is initiated only after expenses are processed in DATEV, so payouts depend on the accounting system
- We found no public information on statutory per-country per diem and mileage rates, meal deductions, per-receipt VAT capture or foreign VAT reclaim
- The self-service terms allow automatic charges to the payment card for overage users and state no repayment of amounts pre-paid in advance
Best for
- You already subscribe to the DATEV Buchungsdatenservice and run DATEV Kanzlei-Rechnungswesen, DATEV Rechnungswesen or DATEV Mittelstand Faktura mit Rechnungswesen, and want approved expenses and receipt images to reach DATEV automatically
- You need a documented EU-hosted arrangement for procurement review — a Belgian contracting entity, application data within Azure EU data centres, and a published subprocessor list with safeguards
- You want priced, self-service entry for capture and approval — Essentials or Pro per-user pricing, a 14-day trial, and mileage included from the cheapest plan
Avoid if
- You expect the expense tool to pay employees itself — here reimbursement is initiated only after expenses are processed in DATEV
- You need a fully costed card programme — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- Your VAT and per-diem work depends on statutory country rates and per-receipt VAT amounts — the plan pages list 'local legal & tax compliance' without describing either
- Your accounting backbone is not DATEV — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it

Receipt capture & expense claims
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How an expense gets into the system: a mobile app that photographs receipts, text recognition (OCR) that reads amount, date, merchant and VAT, receipts forwarded by email or pulled from suppliers, claims for out-of-pocket spending in any currency, mileage and trip entries, a substitute receipt (Eigenbeleg) when the original is lost, and duplicate detection.
0 — Not an expense capture tool; receipts and claims cannot be recorded in the product.
3 — Receipts uploaded as photos or files and attached to an expense by hand; text recognition, email capture or claims in other currencies are basic or not described.
5 — A mobile app that captures receipts with text recognition reading amount, date and merchant, receipts forwarded by email, expense claims for out-of-pocket spending submitted from the app, and foreign currencies converted.
8 — Extraction of VAT rates and amounts and line items, receipts collected automatically from email inboxes or named suppliers, duplicate and fraud checks on submission, a substitute receipt for lost originals, mileage with route calculation, and replacement scanning (ersetzendes Scannen) stated as GoBD-compliant so paper originals may be discarded.
10 — Capture without employee effort: e-receipts delivered directly by travel and merchant partners, extraction accuracy or review process published, a certified scanning procedure (for example an audit report to IDW PS 880 or a TÜV certificate) named, and every receipt traceable from capture to booking.
The Travelling Employee
The mobile app with receipt scanner and mileage expenses is published, receipts arrive by web, e-mail or mobile app, and automatic reading of scanned receipts is done by a named processor in Ireland. No page I read says which fields the scanner reads, whether foreign currency is converted, or how duplicates are caught, so I stop at a good middle rating. 5 7 9
The Office Manager
The pricing page describes a mobile app with a receipt scanner, unlimited expenses and mileage expenses, and the privacy policy says receipts are uploaded via web, e-mail and the mobile apps — the way my project leads would actually work. Receipt text is read automatically — the published subprocessor list names Veryfi for automatic reading of scanned receipts and Azure for automatic reading and translation of receipts — but the captured pages do not show which fields or VAT amounts are extracted, duplicate checks, or a substitute receipt for lost originals. That is a step above basic capture, short of the full paperless story. 5 7 9
The Controller
The plan pages list a mobile app with receipt scanner, unlimited expenses and mileage expenses, and the privacy policy describes receipts uploaded via web, e-mail and mobile applications. Automatic reading of receipts is documented only through the subprocessor list — Veryfi reads scanned receipts with processing in Ireland, and Azure handles automatic reading and translation of receipts. We found no public information on which fields are extracted, foreign-currency conversion, duplicate detection or a substitute receipt for lost originals. 5 7 8 9
The Finance Lead
The Essentials plan names a mobile app with a receipt scanner, unlimited expenses and mileage, receipts arrive via web, e-mail or mobile, and the subprocessor list shows scanned receipts are read and translated automatically. Essentials also claims multi-country certified paperless expensing, but no certificate is named and we found no public information on duplicate checks, a substitute receipt for lost originals, or per-receipt VAT extraction. 5 7 9
The Tax Adviser
The Essentials plan documents a mobile app with a receipt scanner, unlimited expenses and mileage entries, expense reports can be uploaded via web, e-mail and the app, and a named subprocessor performs the automatic reading of scanned receipts. Beyond that we found no public information on extraction of VAT rates and amounts, duplicate and fraud checks, or a substitute receipt for lost originals; "multi-country certified paperless expensing" is named without any certificate I could verify for a tax audit. 5 7 9
The Skeptic
The mobile app carries a receipt scanner, receipts arrive via web, email or the app, and the automatic reading of scanned receipts is at least attributed — to Veryfi, processing in Ireland — rather than left anonymous. What we found no public information on: which fields the recognition reads, VAT amounts, duplicate checks, a substitute receipt for lost originals, foreign-currency claims, or any certificate behind the "multi-country certified paperless expensing" claim. Mileage is included from the cheapest plan. 5 7 9
Company cards & spend control
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How spending is controlled before it happens: physical and virtual company cards with limits, single-use and subscription cards, limits by amount, merchant category and time, budgets per team or project, real-time notifications and receipt reminders — or, for a product that issues no cards of its own, live feeds from the company's existing cards with automatic receipt matching. The issuing institution and its licence count where cards are issued.
0 — Neither issues cards nor reads card transactions; only out-of-pocket claims exist.
3 — Card transactions imported from a statement file or a single feed and matched by hand, or a card offer with fixed limits; budgets, reminders and controls are basic or not described.
5 — Either own physical and virtual cards with per-card limits, freezing and real-time notifications, or live feeds from named corporate card schemes or banks with automatic matching of receipts to transactions; spending visible as it happens and employees reminded to submit receipts.
8 — Cards for every employee with limits by amount, merchant category and period, single-use and subscription cards, budgets per team or project that cards draw from, pre-approval of a purchase before the card is charged, feeds from existing bank cards beside the own cards, and the issuing institution and licence named.
10 — Spend control across the company: multi-entity and multi-currency card accounts, budgets and policies enforced at the moment of payment, card spend reconciled to the statement automatically, safeguarding of funds and credit terms stated, and cards and transaction history portable to another provider.
The Travelling Employee
Rydoo Cards appear in the Business plan beside a custom bank transactions feed and automated transaction reconciliation, so card spend lands in the tool. The control layer is undescribed — no limits, freezing, virtual cards or real-time notifications in the captured pages, and no issuing institution or licence named. 5 6
The Office Manager
Rydoo Cards are named as a Business-plan feature and "Cards & payments" is a listed module, with automated transaction reconciliation in Pro and a custom bank transactions feed in Business. What the captured pages do not show is anything about per-card limits, virtual or subscription cards, real-time notifications, receipt reminders or who issues the cards — and for someone who wants a card per project lead with a limit she sets herself, that is the part that decides it. 5 6
The Controller
Rydoo Cards are named as a Business-plan feature, Pro advertises automated transaction reconciliation, Business adds a custom bank transactions feed, and a subprocessor performs controlling checks of bank statements. We found no public information on per-card limits, budgets, real-time notifications, virtual or single-use cards or the issuing institution, so nothing shows spending is controlled before it happens. 5 6 9
The Finance Lead
Rydoo Cards ship with the Business plan alongside a custom bank transactions feed, and Pro lists automated transaction reconciliation, so card and bank spend does land in the product. We found no public information on card limits, virtual or single-use cards, budgets, real-time notifications, or the issuing institution and its licence. 5 6
The Tax Adviser
Rydoo Cards are part of the Business plan, alongside a custom bank transactions feed and automated transaction reconciliation, and a subprocessor performs controlling checks of bank statements. We found no public information on card limits, virtual or single-use cards, real-time notifications, budgets, or the issuing institution and its licence, so control of spending before it happens is not described. 5 6 9
The Skeptic
"Rydoo Cards" appears as a line in the Business plan and Pro advertises automated transaction reconciliation plus a custom bank transactions feed, and there the description ends. We found no public information on limits, virtual or single-use cards, freezing, real-time notifications, budgets, or the issuing institution and its licence — the things that decide whether a card programme is controllable and who actually holds the money. 5 6
Approval workflows & expense policy
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the company's rules are applied: approval chains by amount, team, cost centre or project, delegation and deputies, an expense policy with limits per category and per country that the product checks, pre-approval of trips and purchases, roles and permissions, multi-entity set-ups, and an audit trail of who approved and changed what.
0 — No approval step; every expense goes straight to export or payment.
3 — A single approver per employee or one sign-off step; policy rules, deputies and audit history are basic or not described.
5 — Multi-step approval flows configurable by amount, team or cost centre, an expense policy with limits per category that flags violations, approval from the mobile app, and a history of who approved what.
8 — Rule-based routing by amount, project, cost centre and entity with deputies and escalation, policy checks before submission (limits per country, per diem rules, duplicates), pre-approval of trips or purchases, granular roles and permissions, several legal entities in one account, and an exportable audit trail.
10 — Controls that stand up to an audit: anomaly and fraud detection with its rules explained, separation of duties enforced, country-specific policies maintained centrally, every change to a claim versioned and attributed, and control reports offered to auditors.
The Travelling Employee
A clear ladder exists: single approval flow in Essentials, multilevel approval flow with customisable policies and rules in Pro, advanced approval workflows in Enterprise, with a customised workflow described for DATEV. Routing by amount or cost centre, deputies, trip pre-approval and a visible history of who approved what are not described on the pages I read. 4 5
The Office Manager
The tiers climb from a single approval flow in Essentials to a multilevel approval flow in Pro and advanced approval workflows with custom fields in Enterprise, customisable policies and rules are named in Pro, and reminders go out to approvers and controllers. The captured pages give no detail on routing by amount, team or cost centre, deputies, pre-approval of trips, or a history of who approved what, so I stop at the middle rung. 4 5 9
The Controller
Essentials includes a single approval flow, Pro adds a multilevel approval flow with customisable policies and rules, Enterprise lists advanced approval workflows, and the DATEV page promises a customised workflow for the customer's audit and approval requirements. We found no public information on routing by amount, cost centre or entity, deputies, policy limits checked before a claim is submitted, pre-approval of trips, or a history of who approved and changed what — precisely what my four legal entities would live on. 4 5
The Finance Lead
The plans climb from a single approval flow in Essentials to a multilevel approval flow with customisable policies and rules in Pro and advanced approval workflows in Enterprise, and the DATEV page describes workflows shaped to each customer's audit and approval requirements. We found no public information on routing by amount, cost centre or entity, deputies and escalation, pre-approval of trips or purchases, or an exportable audit trail. 4 5
The Tax Adviser
Essentials includes a single approval flow, Pro adds a multilevel approval flow with customisable policies and rules, and Enterprise lists advanced approval workflows; the DATEV integration describes workflows customised to the customer's audit and approval requirements. We found no public information on routing by amount, cost centre or entity, deputies and escalation, pre-approval of trips or purchases, or a versioned audit trail of who approved what. 4 5
The Skeptic
Essentials gets a single approval flow, Pro a multilevel one with customisable policies and rules, and Enterprise "advanced approval workflows" — the word advanced doing the work that detail normally does. Routing by amount, team or cost centre, deputies and escalation, pre-approval of trips or purchases, and a history of who approved what are not described on the captured pages. 4 5
Reimbursement, travel allowances & VAT
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the employee gets money back and the company gets the tax right: reimbursement of approved claims by bank transfer or a SEPA payment file, mileage allowances and per diems at statutory rates per country (Verpflegungspauschalen, Kilometerpauschale, meal deductions), taxable and tax-free reimbursements separated for payroll, the input VAT captured per receipt for the deduction, and foreign VAT reclaimed.
0 — No reimbursement of employees; the product covers company cards only and out-of-pocket spending is out of its scope.
3 — Out-of-pocket claims recorded and paid back outside the product by hand; travel allowances and VAT handling are basic or not described.
5 — Approved claims reimbursed through the product or a SEPA payment file, mileage and per diems at configurable rates, and the VAT rate and amount captured per receipt for the input-tax deduction.
8 — Statutory per diems and mileage rates per country maintained by the vendor (German travel expense law named), meal deductions and multi-day trips calculated, reimbursement in several currencies within a stated time, VAT split per rate and receipts checked for the invoice requirements of the deduction, and foreign VAT reclaim offered or integrated with a named partner.
10 — Travel expense law and VAT handled end to end: country rules kept current with a stated process, taxable reimbursements passed to payroll, foreign VAT reclaim filed with the recovered amounts reported, and every reimbursement traceable to the claim and the rule that produced it.
The Travelling Employee
Per diems and daily allowances are a Pro feature, mileage is in Essentials, and reimbursement to employees is initiated after expenses are processed in DATEV according to the customer's own guidelines. Statutory per-country rates, VAT rate and amount captured per receipt, and how quickly money returns to my account are all silent in the captured pages. 4 5 7
The Office Manager
Per diems and daily allowances are in the Pro plan and mileage expenses in Essentials, and the DATEV page describes initiating reimbursement to employees once expenses are processed in DATEV. The rates are not described as statutory or maintained per country, and we found no public information on VAT capture per receipt, meal deductions or how taxable reimbursements reach payroll — for my tax adviser, that gap decides it. 4 5 7
The Controller
Mileage expenses and per diems/daily allowances appear on the plan pages, and the DATEV page says reimbursement to employees is initiated after expenses are processed in DATEV, according to the customer's guidelines. We found no public information on statutory per-country rates maintained by the vendor, meal deductions, separation of taxable reimbursements for payroll, VAT rates captured per receipt or foreign VAT reclaim — "local legal & tax compliance" is asserted without detail. 4 5
The Finance Lead
Mileage sits in Essentials and per diems and daily allowances in Pro, and reimbursement to employees is initiated after expenses are processed in DATEV, which is a workable path for our payroll. We found no public information on SEPA payment runs, statutory German per diem and mileage rates, meal deductions, the VAT amount captured per receipt, payroll handoff of taxable amounts, or foreign VAT reclaim. 4 5
The Tax Adviser
Per diems and daily allowances come with the Pro plan and mileage expenses with Essentials, and reimbursement to employees can be initiated once the expenses are processed in DATEV. We found no public information on statutory rates per country and meal deductions, on the VAT rate and amount being captured per receipt for the input-tax deduction, or on separating taxable and tax-free amounts for payroll — the parts that decide whether the books are right. 4 5
The Skeptic
Mileage and per diems are plan features, and the DATEV page says reimbursement to employees is initiated after expenses are processed in DATEV — the money side leaning on the accounting system rather than the product. We found no public information on statutory per diem and mileage rates per country, meal deductions, multi-day trip calculation, the VAT rate and amount captured per receipt for the deduction, taxable versus tax-free treatment for payroll, or foreign VAT reclaim. 4 5
Accounting handoff & DATEV
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What reaches the books: export or sync to DATEV (DATEV format, DATEV Unternehmen online, Belegbilderservice) and to named accounting and ERP systems, booking proposals with account, tax key and cost centre, receipts that travel with the booking, card statements reconciled, a GoBD-compliant archive, an API and webhooks, and a complete export of claims, receipts and booking data.
0 — No export of any kind; expenses have to be retyped into the books.
3 — A CSV or PDF export of expense reports; booking data, named integrations and the archive are basic or not described.
5 — Export or sync to at least one named accounting system (DATEV or another) with account and tax code per entry and the receipt attached, several accounting or ERP integrations listed, and a documented API.
8 — A DATEV interface with receipt images (DATEV Unternehmen online or the DATEV Marketplace named), booking proposals that learn account, tax key and cost centre, two-way sync with named ERPs (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite or similar), card statements reconciled for the month-end, a GoBD-compliant archive stated, and webhooks.
10 — The month-end close runs through the product: multi-entity bookings and accruals, a procedure documentation (Verfahrensdokumentation) or GoBD audit offered, a complete audit trail of every financial event, and a full export of claims, receipts and bookings that a successor system can import.
The Travelling Employee
The DATEV chain is unusually complete: Buchungsdatenservice, a direct API, automated transfers of processed expenses, receipts synced to Belege and Unternehmen Online, scheduled daily to monthly runs, plus SFTP and API access and export templates. Learning booking proposals, named ERP two-way sync, a stated GoBD-compliant archive and webhooks are not described, which keeps it below the top rung. 4 5 8
The Office Manager
The DATEV integration uses the Buchungsdatenservice, transfers processed expenses automatically, syncs receipt images to Belege and Unternehmen Online, offers direct API sync on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule and names the compatible DATEV accounting systems; API and SFTP access arrive from the Business plan, with PDF and Excel exports and export templates below that, and a zip-file data export on termination. What the captured pages do not show is booking proposals that learn account and tax key, two-way sync with named ERPs, a stated GoBD-compliant archive, or webhooks — so this is a strong handoff, not yet a month-end close run through the product. 4 5 6 8
The Controller
The DATEV integration is the best-documented area: a direct API, the Buchungsdatenservice, automated transfers with daily, weekly or monthly sync, receipts synced to Belege and Unternehmen Online, and named compatible DATEV systems, plus export templates, SFTP and API access from the Business plan and a defined data export at termination. We found no public information on booking proposals that learn account, tax key and cost centre, two-way sync with named ERPs, a GoBD-compliant archive or webhooks. 4 5 8
The Finance Lead
The DATEV leg is genuinely strong: it uses the Buchungsdatenservice, syncs approved expenses directly via API without manual uploads, transfers receipts and invoices with the booking, syncs images to Belege and Unternehmen Online, and offers daily, weekly or monthly frequency, with SFTP and API access from the Business plan. We found no public information on booking proposals that learn account, tax key and cost centre, two-way sync to ERPs such as SAP or Dynamics, a stated GoBD-compliant archive, or webhooks. 4 5 8
The Tax Adviser
The DATEV handoff is well documented: the integration uses the Buchungsdatenservice, syncs expense data via a direct API, transfers supporting receipts and invoices for audit readiness, and syncs images to Belege and Unternehmen Online at a daily, weekly or monthly frequency — the receipt image arrives with the booking as I require. We found no public information on booking proposals that learn account, tax key and cost centre, two-way sync with named ERPs, a GoBD-compliant archive or webhooks, though SFTP and API access are included from the Business plan and a data export on termination is granted. 4 5 8
The Skeptic
The DATEV story is the best-evidenced part of this product: a direct API through the Buchungsdatenservice (which the client must separately subscribe to), automated transfers, receipt images synced to Belege and Unternehmen Online, and daily, weekly or monthly scheduling. Beyond DATEV we found no public information on booking proposals that learn account, tax key and cost centre, two-way sync with named ERPs, a GoBD-compliant archive, or webhooks — and API and SFTP access only arrive at the Business plan. 4 5
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where receipt, card and employee data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, card issuer and processor, text recognition, open banking, email delivery). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; expense data is personal and financial at once and shows where employees travel, so the whole chain counts, not only the database.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.
5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (text recognition, card processing, email, analytics, support) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity and card issuer, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, issuer, hosting and every subprocessor, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.

Contracting runs through Rydoo NV in Mechelen under Belgian law and Brussels courts, data sits in Microsoft Azure EU data centres, and a public subprocessor list names each processor with its country and safeguard, including EU model clauses on the India, Brazil and USA legs. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 are stated with scope; ownership and the card issuer are dimensions I could not see confirmed. 7 8 9 10
The Office Manager
The contracting entity is Rydoo NV in Mechelen, Belgium, alongside Rydoo Sp. z o.o. in Warsaw, under Belgian law and the Brussels courts; all application data is stored in Microsoft Azure data centres located in the EU, and a subprocessor list is published with each processor's country and contractual safeguard — Veryfi reads receipts with processing in Ireland, while non-EU processors in India, the USA and Brazil for bank-statement checks and customer support run under EU model clauses. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 are stated with their scope. We found no public information on the ownership structure or on any card issuer, so the chain is proven up to the point where the cards begin. 7 8 9 10
The Controller
Contracting is with Rydoo NV in Mechelen under Belgian law with Brussels jurisdiction, hosting runs on Microsoft Azure in EU data centres, and a published subprocessor list names each provider with its country and safeguard — receipt reading by Veryfi is processed in Ireland, while support runs through entities in the USA and Brazil and bank-statement controlling checks run in India, each under EU model clauses. ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI DSS are stated with their scope, retention periods and data subject rights are published, and a termination export exists; the card issuer and the ownership chain are not identified on the captured pages. 7 8 9 10
The Finance Lead
The chain is largely European and named: application data sits in Microsoft Azure data centres in the EU with processing mainly in the EEA, Rydoo NV of Mechelen contracts under Belgian law, the subprocessor list names each provider with country and safeguard, and ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI DSS are stated with their scope. Support and some processing run through entities in the USA, Brazil and India under EU model clauses, and we found no public information on ownership or the institution issuing Rydoo Cards. 7 8 9 10
The Tax Adviser
The contracting entities are Rydoo NV in Mechelen and Rydoo Spółka z o.o. in Warsaw under Belgian law, all application data sits in Microsoft Azure data centres in the EU, and a published subprocessor list names each processor's location and safeguard; ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI DSS are stated with their scope. Customer support runs through group companies in the USA and Brazil and bank statement checks through a provider in India, each on EU model clauses, and we found no public information on ownership or on the issuer behind Rydoo Cards. 7 8 9 10
The Skeptic
Here the vendor does what most avoid: a Belgian contracting entity in Mechelen, Azure EU data centres named, a full subprocessor list with countries and safeguards, and ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI DSS stated with their scope. The chain still leaves Europe: receipts are read by Veryfi Inc. of the USA (processing in Ireland), support runs through Rydoo Inc. in the USA and Rydoo Brasil, and bank-statement controlling checks go to Romsan in India — all under EU model clauses — while the card issuer and the ownership behind Rydoo N.V. stay unnamed. 7 8 9 10
Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per user or per active user, platform or base fee, which modules (travel, reimbursements, DATEV or ERP connectors, extra entities) cost extra, card fees (physical cards, foreign transactions, currency conversion, top-ups), minimum seats and term, and setup.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.
3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with users, cards or modules is unclear.
5 — Tiers are public with their per-user or base price and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (extra users, physical cards, foreign-currency fees, ERP connectors) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every tier priced publicly with its scaling rule (per user, per active user, per card), card and foreign-transaction fees listed, add-ons priced, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given headcount, card count and module set, with every add-on, setup, support, card and currency fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Travelling Employee
Essentials at €8 and Pro at €10 per user per month billed annually (€10 and €12 monthly) are published with full feature lists, a five-user minimum, VAT-exclusive terms and active-user billing on the upper plans. The Business and Enterprise tiers carry no prices, and I found no published card or foreign-currency fees, so a real annual bill is not computable from these pages. 5 8
The Office Manager
The pricing page shows Essentials at "€8 Per user/per month when billed annually" ("€10" monthly) and Pro at "€10" ("€12" monthly), each with its feature list, a five-user minimum for Essentials, and fair billing under which Business and Enterprise bill only active users; the terms state fees are exclusive of VAT, payable by payment card, with a 14-day trial. The captured pages show no prices for the Business and Enterprise tiers and no card or foreign-transaction fees, so I could not compute a full annual cost including Rydoo Cards before the trial ended. 5 8
The Controller
Essentials and Pro are public at €8 and €10 per user per month billed annually, and €10 and €12 billed monthly, with a five-user minimum, active-user billing on the upper tiers, and fees stated as exclusive of VAT and payable by payment card. Business and Enterprise — the tiers carrying the cards, SFTP, API and advanced workflows — carry no public price, and we found no public information on card fees, the travel module, extra entities or setup, so the real annual cost is computable only for the two lower tiers. 5 8
The Finance Lead
Essentials and Pro carry public per-user prices with annual and monthly billing, a five-user minimum on Essentials, fair billing of only active users on Business and Enterprise, VAT-exclusive fees and a fourteen-day trial, so the cost of a pure Essentials or Pro deployment can be computed. The Business and Enterprise tiers that carry Rydoo Cards and API access show no price on the captured pricing page, and we found no public information on card fees, foreign-currency fees or setup costs. 5 8
The Tax Adviser
Essentials is €8 per user per month billed annually (€10 monthly) and Pro is €10 annually (€12 monthly), with a five-user minimum, active-user billing on Business and Enterprise, fees stated exclusive of VAT, and a 14-day trial with monthly-renewal terms documented. We found no public information on the prices of the Business and Enterprise tiers — where Rydoo Cards, SFTP and API access sit — nor on card fees or the cost of training and configuration services, so the annual cost of a card-and-connector setup cannot be computed from the captured pages. 5 8
The Skeptic
Essentials and Pro are priced publicly — €8 and €10 per user per month billed annually, €10 and €12 monthly — with a five-user minimum, VAT-exclusive fees, active-user billing on Business and Enterprise, and terms that add automatic charges for overage users and no refund of prepaid amounts. Business and Enterprise carry no public price at all, and we found no public information on card fees, foreign-currency fees, or what the DATEV and other connectors cost. 5 8

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 28 Oct 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Hosting location, Hosting options. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
