Software recognition is by far the coolest feature of Airbase. The ability of the tool to identify the invoice details and populate that for the user saves so much time! I also really like the amortization feature when the invoice service period is longer...

Clunky userface. Reporting is not great. Multiple subsidiares and currencies difficult to use. Initial setup took awhile to finally get integrations to work as they should. Support team generally cant answer any questions.

Melio is straightforward and streamlined, it takes a ton of time out of our bill pay.

Fellow physician tried to pay me and Melio gave the run around looking for EIN and all this business information. She would not use my referral link and it gave me a sour taste in my mouth for the company.
