The verdict

BILL Spend & Expense logo BILL Spend & Expense
Best for free software and category rewards

BILL's software is $0 with no per-user fees, while Navan charges $15/user/mo for expense users beyond the first five. Rewards are tiered points (up to 7x dining, 5x hotels, 2x software) versus Navan's flat 1.5% cash back, and limits are set on cash balance and revenue ($1K-$5M) with no personal guarantee. Tradeoff: it does charge foreign transaction fees.

Full profile
Navan logo Navan
Best for international spend and enterprise identity

Navan charges no foreign transaction fees, where BILL does, and handles reimbursements across 45 countries and 25 currencies. It adds SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning that BILL doesn't list. The catch is cost: free for travel plus five expense users, then $15/user/mo, and rewards are a flat 1.5% rather than BILL's tiered points.
