The verdict

Navan logo Navan
Best for free-to-start travel spend with rewards

Navan starts at $0 (free for travel plus the first 5 expense users) versus Revolut's $10/user/mo with no US free plan, and adds up to 1.5% flat cash back and no foreign-transaction fees, neither of which Revolut documents. Receipt capture, reimbursements, SOC 2, SAML SSO and SCIM are included rather than paid add-ons. Its charge card isn't capped to a deposited balance.

Revolut Business logo Revolut Business
Best for balance-funded cards with no personal guarantee

Revolut issues prepaid/debit cards capped to the account balance, with no personal guarantee or credit check, where Navan's is a charge card. Both sync to the major accounting platforms, but Revolut lists a wider set (FreeAgent, Dynamics 365, Odoo, Zoho). Trade-offs: receipts and reimbursements are paid add-ons, virtual cards cap at 50 per member, and the Business API needs the $40 Grow plan.
