SAP Concur Alternatives for Mid-Market Companies (2026)

This is a teardown of one artefact, SAP Concur's published offer: its product scope and pricing pages. Concur says its solutions are designed for businesses of all sizes, and multinationals use it for global complexity. Label each part of that page by the job it does, and you can see which parts a mid-market or SME programme actually uses.

Full disclosure: this is Accomy's blog, and Accomy is one of the alternatives below. The comparison is fit-based, and each option's genuine strengths are noted.

Key Takeaways

• SAP Concur combines travel, expense and invoice, offers native SAP ERP and S/4HANA integration, and connects with third-party TMCs and GDSs; its depth suits complex programmes.

• Mid-market and SME companies may want set-up and pricing sized to their scale.

• Alternatives worth shortlisting: Navan and Perk (formerly TravelPerk), travel-and-expense platforms with published pricing; Egencia (Amex GBT), for digitally-forward companies of all sizes; and Accomy, an APAC-native travel operating system.

• Pricing models differ. Concur publishes per-report prices for its Base and Plus plans, Navan and Perk publish plan pricing, and larger plans are quoted.

What does SAP Concur's offer actually contain?

Label each capability by who needs it, and the parts built for large, multi-country programmes become easy to spot.

What Concur publishes

Enterprise configuration and commitment

Large, complex programmes

Scope lines are from Concur's homepage FAQ and Travel & Expense product page; prices are in USD from its pricing page. All checked on 16 October 2026. Concur notes that prices can vary with monthly commitment.

What does the breakdown reveal about fit?

Unused depth costs twice: once in licence and again in slower changes.

Read the third column. Four of the six lines serve multinationals, companies already on SAP, existing TMC programmes or large, complex programmes. For a large company already on SAP, the native ERP integration alone is a real advantage, and Concur is likely the right incumbent.

For a mid-market or SME company, the same depth can mean heavier implementation, more configuration and admin overhead the programme doesn't need. Concur itself says implementation timelines depend on organisational complexity. A few signals suggest the fit has drifted:

  • Onboarding or changes need specialist help, for a travel programme that isn't especially complex.

  • Much of the configuration and many modules sit unused.

  • The cost, counting licence, implementation and admin time, feels heavy against your actual travel volume.

  • Simple changes, such as a new price cap, take longer than they should.

  • Your travel is APAC-centric, and the global strengths you pay for aren't the ones you use.

Which SAP Concur alternatives suit mid-market companies?

Each alternative suits a different kind of company, so shortlist by how your programme works.

Provider details were checked against each company's own website and filings on 16 October 2026. Prices and features change, so confirm them with each provider before you buy.

  • Navan is a US-headquartered travel and expense platform with corporate cards, serving small businesses through enterprises, with offices including Singapore and Sydney. Its Business plan is listed as free for companies up to 300 employees.

  • Perk combines travel, expenses and policy in one platform, has dedicated small-business plans, and says travel is bookable in more than 178 countries. Its published offices are in Europe and the US.

  • Egencia, part of Amex GBT (privately held since Long Lake's acquisition completed on 29 September 2026), is for digitally-forward companies of all sizes. It has registered entities in Singapore, the Philippines and Hong Kong, and offers a Concur Expense integration if you keep that piece.

  • Accomy is an APAC-native travel operating system for SMEs and mid-market companies, with negotiated hotel rates and price caps by employee grade applied at booking. It charges a booking markup included in the final price, with no subscription, and has a human service team on WhatsApp, LINE, WeChat, web chat, email and phone. It fits a smaller APAC company that finds Concur more platform than it needs, though Concur is stronger on enterprise-grade configuration and native SAP ERP integration.

What to check before you move off Concur

Five checks show whether an alternative fits the complexity you actually have.

Ask each vendor, and ask the same of Concur:

  • Start with implementation effort. How long to onboard, and who does the work? Concur itself says timelines depend on organisational complexity, so ask every vendor for a written timeline.

  • List the Concur capabilities your team uses each month, and ask whether you'd miss the rest. If deep ERP integration and global tax compliance aren't load-bearing for you, they're overhead you can shed.

  • Weigh total cost against real volume. Pricing models differ (per report, per user, platform fee plus booking fee, or booking markup), so compare the all-in cost on your volume, including implementation and admin time.

  • Test regional fit. For APAC-centric travel, check inventory and support in your actual markets; that's a fair question to ask of any platform.

  • Confirm expense and accounting fit. If you keep your current expense or accounting stack, check how the new platform hands data to it: some integrate directly, others export.

The goal is a tool that still does everything you actually need.

Which question decides whether to keep Concur?

A one-hour usage review of the table settles more than a month of vendor demos.

One question settles most of this: which lines in the table above does your team use every month? If the SAP integration, multi-country tax and TMC connections are load-bearing, Concur is earning its place. If they're not, a platform sized to your programme will usually fit better.

Keep Concur for travel and expense

Move travel to a platform sized to your programme

What it means

Concur stays the system of record for booking, expense and ERP posting

A smaller platform handles booking; expense stays in Concur or your existing stack, or moves to the new platform

Upside

No migration, and the SAP integration and multi-country tax controls stay in place

Lighter set-up and pricing that tracks your volume; check support in your markets during the pilot

Risk

If much of the table sits unused, you keep paying for depth you don't use

Migration effort, and a new data hand-off into expense and accounting

When to choose it

You're large, global or already on SAP, and you use most of the lines in the table

You're mid-market or SME, your travel is regional, or the friction is mainly on the booking side

If you shortlist alternatives, get written quotes on your volume and judge each one on onboarding effort as much as features. Navan has Singapore and Sydney offices, Egencia has entities in Singapore, the Philippines and Hong Kong.

Moving off an enterprise platform without the pain

Rates, policy and cost-centre mapping matter more in a migration than user accounts do.

Leaving a platform as embedded as Concur sounds daunting. It's more manageable than it looks if you sequence it:

  1. Map what you actually use first. Before migrating, document the workflows, rates, approvals, and integrations you genuinely rely on. The live list may be shorter than the licensed one.

  2. Pilot in parallel. Move one team or entity to the new platform while Concur runs, and confirm the essentials work on real bookings before a wider rollout.

  3. Migrate rates, policy, and cost-centre mapping. These carry the rates and the reporting structure. They matter more than user accounts.

  4. Plan the expense hand-off. If you're keeping a separate expense or accounting system, agree how travel data flows into it before cutover.

Run the same table against your own usage before you sign anything, then pick the path whose "when to choose it" row describes you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SAP Concur good for small and mid-market companies?

It can be: Concur says its solutions are designed for businesses of all sizes. SAP Concur combines travel, expense and invoice, offers native SAP ERP and S/4HANA integration, and connects with third-party TMCs and GDSs; its depth suits complex programmes. For a smaller company, that depth can mean more implementation, configuration, and overhead than the travel programme needs.

For a large company already on SAP, the native SAP ERP integration is a real advantage. For a smaller one, ask whether your programme is complex enough to use what Concur offers, or whether a platform sized and priced to your scale fits better.

What are the alternatives to SAP Concur for mid-market companies?

For mid-market and SME buyers, Navan and Perk (formerly TravelPerk) are travel-and-expense platforms with published pricing. Egencia (Amex GBT) serves digitally-forward companies of all sizes and has APAC entities. Accomy is an APAC-native travel operating system with booking-markup pricing and no subscription.

Choose by your company's complexity and where your travel happens. Run each option on your shortlist, and Concur itself, through the same checks: implementation effort, what you'd lose, total cost against real volume, regional fit, and expense and accounting fit.

When might a company look beyond SAP Concur?

Reasons vary by company; for a smaller or mid-market company, the question is fit. An enterprise platform can be more to implement and administer than a simpler travel programme needs. Concur remains a strong fit for large, globally-complex programmes, particularly those already on SAP.

Signs of a poor fit include onboarding or changes that need specialist help, configuration and modules that sit unused, and a cost that feels heavy against actual travel volume.

How much does SAP Concur cost?

SAP Concur publishes prices for two of its three plans: Base starts at $7 per report and Plus at $11 per report (USD, checked 16 October 2026). Premium is custom-priced, and Concur notes prices can vary with monthly commitment. Implementation effort depends on your complexity.

Navan lists its Business plan as free for companies up to 300 employees, and Perk's Travel plans start at $0 a month plus 5% per booking (USD, checked 16 October 2026). When comparing, ask each provider for written pricing on your volume, since models differ (per report, per user, platform fee plus booking fee, or booking markup).

Should a mid-market company replace SAP Concur or add to it?

It depends on what's actually heavy. If the friction is on the booking and traveller-support side, a travel platform can sit alongside Concur while you keep it for expense and ERP posting.

If you rely on deep SAP ERP integration and global expense controls, replacing everything at once is a bigger decision, and adding a separate travel tool may be the safer move. Map which parts your team praises and which they route around before deciding.

Accomy is the network that powers corporate travel, built for APAC SMEs: negotiated hotel rates, price caps by employee grade applied at booking, and a human service team. The booking markup is included in the final price, with no subscription.
