Coupa vs Airbase
There’s a reason Coupa ranks as a leader among third-party analyst reports — in 27 of them, to be exact. Airbase doesn’t make the shortlist in any. Here’s what sets us apart as the leading spend management platform for businesses of all sizes.

Instead of piecing together different point solutions, use one platform that grows with your company. Coupa helps you gain visibility and control over your spend today with:
- Requests and approvals. Centralize and manage every request from one place. With guided buying experiences, employees can find what they need when they need it and get approved quickly.
- Invoices and expenses. Automate and scale Accounts Payable with multi-level automated invoice validation, dynamic approval workflows, and full mobile access.
- Vendor management. Onboard new vendors quickly with self-service options.
- Centralized payments. A fast, secure global payments portal helps maximize rebate and working capital with automated reconciliation.
