Airbase review
AP, procurement, expenses and cards in one platform, with quote-based pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Airbase brings accounts payable automation, procurement, employee expenses, reimbursements and corporate cards into a spend-management platform for finance teams. Its workflows cover invoice capture and approval routing, purchase-order matching, configurable spend requests, card controls and policy-based expense handling. The product is positioned for mid-market and larger organizations managing non-payroll spending, so it is most relevant to teams that want connected controls across purchasing and payments rather than a standalone bill-pay or card tool.
AP and procurement are central strengths. Invoices can move through approval and purchase-order matching, while payments can be made by ACH, check, virtual card, international wire or vendor credit. Guided procurement and configurable spend-request workflows support purchase decisions before spending; budgets and policy controls apply to expense and card spending. Receipt capture, OCR, audit trails and AI-assisted receipt matching, invoice processing, categorization and reconciliation extend the workflow into employee expenses. Teams looking for this breadth should weigh it against the added process configuration that multiple approval paths and controls can entail.
Accounting fit is another key consideration: Airbase lists integrations with Oracle NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks Online and Desktop, and Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, alongside American Express and Silicon Valley Bank. Automatic general-ledger synchronization and amortization are also included. The product is available on web, iOS and Android, and offers physical and virtual corporate cards. According to its current pricing information, pricing is quote-based and requires contacting sales. Airbase is now operated as part of Paylocity for Finance and is also presented as Airbase by Paylocity. Choose it if your finance team values AP and procurement depth with expenses, cards and accounting connections; teams seeking a narrowly focused tool or published plan pricing may prefer to compare alternatives.
