Perk has a huge corporate travel inventory
Perk’s inventory is tough to come by anywhere else – you’ve got access to a huge selection of transport and accommodation options. Inventory coverage includes Airbnb, Expedia, Trainline and more, enabling simple and secure booking. Perk can also store your data preferences and loyalty points to be used whenever you need them. One user was delighted that you can also filter hotels by loyalty programs too.Navan doesn’t quite match up. Despite a sizable inventory, some customers “often find better rates and more options for flights and hotels through Google.” This is due to fewer low-cost carrier options on the platform—”Navan can be $100 more than what’s on Google Flights.” Plus, Navan rail travel options are very limited—you can only book through Eurostar.Perk’s bigger inventory means more options and some of the best rates on the market. External research found that, when it comes to accommodation in the UK, US, Germany, Spain & France, Perk is cheaper than Navan 58% of the time.

Perk offers total transparency with fees
Perk uses simple and easy to understand pricing – no hidden fees at any point. That means you can be absolutely sure of what you’re paying with Perk. Plus, you only pay when you travel—no surprises.The same cannot be said for Navan—whose fees can end up being “up to 20% of the flight cost.” Navan charges a monthly fee per user regardless if that user travels—you’re paying no matter what. “Hidden fees and hassle” are not what you want from your travel management software’s pricing plan. Hidden costs make it impossible for your finance team to forecast accurately.Some customers are also unhappy with how Navan’s fees show up as separate charges on credit card statements, making business travel accounting and expense reports a nightmare.
