Looking past Brex? Here’s how the main alternatives compare on pricing, fit, and verdict.
For context: Brex
A solid corporate card for incorporated STR companies — but not an STR tool
From $0 • No free trial
Main alternatives
Same category, different fit. Each card uses pair-specific comparison notes.
- Compare vs Brex →BaselaneBest for Small Hosts
Pick Baselane if you're an independent landlord or small host who wants free FDIC-insured banking with automated bookkeeping and rent collection — Brex won't even approve you without incorporation.
- Pricing
- From $0/mo • No free trial
- Compare vs Brex →MercurySolid Option
Pick Mercury if you need a full business checking account to receive PMS payouts and pay vendors — Brex is a card and spend-management layer, not a bank, so most operators who choose Brex still run a banking product like Mercury underneath it.
- Pricing
- From $0 • No free trial
How to pick between them
- Count your listings first. Most STR property management pricing scales per-listing or per-tier. The right tool at 3 listings is often the wrong one at 30.
- Do booking fees matter to you? A 1% fee on $200k/yr of direct bookings is $2,000/yr. That can flip the math.
- List the non-negotiable integrations. Your dynamic pricing tool, cleaning platform, and smart locks all need to connect. Confirm before committing.
- Free trial or demo only? Some vendors let you touch the product. Others only show it on a sales call. If trialing matters to you, that filters fast.
Decided Brex is still the right fit?
