  Airbase (now Airbase by Paylocity) does not publish self-serve, public list
  pricing for its spend management platform or its developer API. Airbase is
  sold as quote-based SaaS: plans are historically packaged around company size
  and the modules in use (AP automation / bill pay, guided procurement,
  corporate cards, expense reimbursements), with pricing obtained by requesting
  a demo/quote from sales. The developer API is not a separately metered,
  price-listed product - it is an entitlement of the platform used to build
  custom connections. Following the October 1, 2024 Paylocity acquisition,
  packaging is increasingly aligned with Paylocity's HCM + spend suite. No
  numeric rates are reconciled here.
notes: >-
  Verify current packaging and pricing by requesting a demo/quote via
  airbase.com or through Paylocity. A free developer/sandbox account and an
  OAuth playground are referenced on developer.airbase.io, but the underlying
  platform is contract-priced, not open self-serve.

    Contract-priced spend management platform. Packaging historically reflects
    company size and the modules enabled (AP automation / bill pay, guided
    procurement and purchase orders, corporate cards, expense reimbursements)
    with real-time GL sync. Pricing is obtained by requesting a demo/quote.
