Alternatives

Perk alternatives

Perk, formerly TravelPerk, is a strong platform. It combines travel, spend and events, works across Europe and the U.S., and connects to AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude.

So the reason to look for an alternative should not be “we need a modern booking tool.” Perk already is one.

Look elsewhere when your program needs a different service model: travel experts who handle complex trips by phone, U.S.-led managed travel, operational or crew travel, or events managed as a service rather than self-serve.

The options

Stay on Perk

Best for international SMB and mid-market teams that like self-serve booking and want travel and spend in one place. If your travelers use it and support response times work for you, a switch may not pay off.

Navan

Best for companies that want a unified travel and expense platform with deeply integrated AI and a dedicated events product.

Engine

Best for teams that want self-serve booking with no membership fee or contract, and strong hotel and lodging inventory.

Amex GBT

Best for large multinational programs that need global servicing, supplier scale and enterprise meetings and events.

ITS

Best for U.S.-led programs where travel gets operationally complicated and the buyer wants AI Chat, digital humans, agentic workflows, human service, meetings and operational travel connected to the same program. ITS is not the larger global platform.

Where each one actually differs

Five questions to put to every alternative

What can your AI complete, not just answer?

Perk’s assistant builds an itinerary and hands off a checkout link to finish in the Perk app. Ask each option where its AI stops.

How does a traveler reach a person on the day of travel?

Ask for the phone path and a typical wait time for a same-day change.

What happens to travel that isn’t ordinary transient travel?

Events, guest travel, crew and rotations expose product boundaries quickly.

How do fees work as the program grows?

Ask how booking fees and per-user pricing apply at your real trip volume.

What are we giving up by leaving Perk?

A good replacement case should name the trade-off, not hide it.
