Brex vs Paraşüt

Brex is a US spend management company founded in 2017 by Henrique Dubugras and Pedro Franceschi and based in San Francisco. It combines corporate cards, expense management, reimbursements, bill pay, travel booking and business accounts in one platform, with the aim of replacing expense reports and manual card reconciliation.

Cards carry real-time controls: budgets per team, project or vendor, merchant restrictions and approval chains. AI matches receipts, flags policy issues and suggests accounting codes that sync to ERPs such as NetSuite, QuickBooks and Xero. The Essentials plan is free and covers cards, expenses and bill pay; Premium adds advanced policies, travel and approvals for a per-user fee; Enterprise supports multiple global entities, local cards in many countries and custom controls.

Brex fits venture-backed startups and mid-market or enterprise companies with US entities, especially those with employees or subsidiaries abroad. Eligibility rules apply, and in 2022 Brex stopped serving many small businesses without venture funding, so very small companies may not qualify. Ramp is the closest rival and is often preferred for its free automation and savings tools; Navan combines travel and expense; Airbase served mid-market finance teams before Paylocity bought it. In practice Brex and Ramp are close, and the decision often comes down to global needs, ERP integration and the offer you receive.

In January 2026 Capital One agreed to acquire Brex for about $5.15 billion, with Pedro Franceschi continuing to lead the business.

Paraşüt is one of the best-known pre-accounting SaaS products in Turkey and now part of Mikrogrup, which also owns the accounting software brands Mikro and Zirve. It is designed for small businesses, freelancers and SMBs that want to manage invoices, expenses and cash flow online while their accountant keeps the official books.

Paraşüt covers sales and purchase invoices, quotes, customer and supplier accounts, collections and payments, expenses, employee costs, inventory and stock movements, bank and cash accounts, and reporting on receivables, payables and cash flow. Its integration with the Revenue Administration (GİB) lets businesses issue and receive e-fatura and e-arşiv invoices directly from the platform, which is the decisive feature for Turkish companies subject to these requirements. Recurring invoices automate subscription billing, and bank integrations help with reconciliation. Accountants get their own access to clients' records, which removes paper handovers at month end. Marketplace and e-commerce integrations pull orders from Trendyol, Hepsiburada, Shopify, WooCommerce and others to create invoices automatically. Pricing is in Turkish lira, split into e-invoice and full pre-accounting packages, and changes with inflation, so check the vendor's site for current amounts.

Paraşüt fits Turkish SMBs and e-commerce sellers that want simple, cloud-based pre-accounting with legal e-invoice support. Logo İşbaşı, Bizim Hesap and Uyumsoft are common local alternatives, and international tools such as Xero or QuickBooks do not cover Turkish e-invoicing requirements.
