About Navan
What you get
Navan Business bundles corporate travel booking with expense management and is free for companies with up to 300 employees, with no limit on trips booked through Navan Travel. Travel features include access to Navan's negotiated rates, unlimited policy and approval workflows, 24/7 support and 30+ HRIS integrations. Expense management, corporate card connections and receipt scanning are free for your first 5 monthly expensing users; beyond that, each additional expensing user costs $15/month. Navan Enterprise adds unlimited travelers and expensing users, a dedicated account team and custom implementation, priced on request. Navan funds the free tier from commission fees paid by travel providers, not from the startup.
Who qualifies
Any company with 300 or fewer employees for the Business plan; larger organisations are routed to Enterprise and a demo. There is no funding-stage or region gate stated on the pricing page itself.
Good to know
- The free tier is genuinely free, not a trial: travel booking has no seat limit, and only expense users beyond the first five are billed.
- Because Navan earns commissions on travel bookings, read your company's travel policy settings carefully if cost control, not booking convenience, is your main goal.
- ERP integrations exist on Business, but deeper financial controls and reporting are an Enterprise conversation.
Verdict
For a startup under 300 people that has any travel budget at all, Navan Business is close to a no-brainer: it replaces a travel agent and a separate expense tool for $0 up to five expensing users. Get a quote before switching if you expect to scale past five people submitting expenses soon, since that $15/seat adds up.
