Cheapest paid plan	$39 a month for 5 users and 75 purchase orders a month (USD, billed monthly).	Basic: $9 per user a month (minimum one user), up to 5 users and 10 transactions a month, with accounts payable, purchasing, receiving and reports. Approval limits and workflows start on Pro. The currency is not named. [1]
How pricing scales	Per workspace, by users and purchase orders a month: Starter $39, Growth $128, Business $227, Enterprise $550. No overage charges.	Per user a month: Basic $9 (up to 5 users, 10 transactions a month), Pro $19 (minimum 5 users, up to 50, unlimited transactions), Enterprise on request (minimum 5 users, unlimited users). Inventory management, an online store integration and accounting integrations are optional add-ons on Pro and Enterprise; the implementation package is an add-on on Pro and included on Enterprise. [1]
Approval routed by amount	Every request is routed by its total excluding tax. On a person’s approval path they have their own limit; above it the request goes to each approver in turn until one whose limit covers the total signs it off. People without a path follow a workspace rule an admin sets.	Yes: requests are routed automatically by amount, department or category. Each request can be checked against remaining budget, tracked by account, department and project codes, and PunchOut and a catalogue keep buying from preferred suppliers inside the approval process. [2]
Several approvers in sequence	Yes: each approver on the path in turn, then super users when no limit covers the total.	Yes: multi-level approvals as needed. [2]
Self-approval blocked	Nobody can approve a request they raised, even if they are an approver on its path.	Not stated on their site. [2]
Approver away	An approver, or an admin for them, marks the days they are away. Requests move on to the next approver on the path or to super users, or to a colleague an admin names to cover, who decides with the away approver’s limit.	Not stated on their site. [2]
PO sent to the supplier	After the final approval, Mittral generates a numbered purchase order as a PDF and emails it to the supplier.	Purchase orders are created from approved requests and can be sent and tracked in Spendwise. How the order reaches the supplier (PDF, email) is not stated. [2]
Revise, resend, cancel a PO	An issued purchase order can be revised, sent again or cancelled by the requester or an admin, and its history stays on the request.	Purchase orders can be created, sent, managed and tracked, linked to the request, receipts and invoices. Revising or cancelling an issued order is not stated. [2]
Your logo on the PO	On Business and Enterprise, the purchase order PDF and supplier email carry your own logo and colour; other plans use Mittral’s template with a small “Powered by Mittral” line.	Not stated on their site. [3]
Send from your own email	On Business and Enterprise, supplier orders can be sent from your own email address, through Microsoft 365 or your mail server’s SMTP settings.	Not stated on their site. [2]
Several buying entities	One workspace holds several buying entities, each with its own legal name, address and VAT number on its orders, and branches under them that print as the delivery location.	Not stated on their site. The Pro plan lists currency conversions. [1]
Quotes and photos on a request	A request can carry PDF, JPG or PNG attachments, up to 10 files, such as the supplier’s quote or a photo.	Yes: the request form takes item details, vendors, attachments and budget codes. [2]
Duplicate quote warning	A quote or reference number entered on a request is checked against other requests awaiting approval or already approved, and a possible duplicate is flagged before submission.	Not stated for quotes or requests. Their invoice features aim to prevent duplicate payments. [4]
Audit log	Admins have an audit log of changes made in the workspace.	Their approvals section promises a complete paper trail. A workspace audit log is not described. [4]
Getting data out	Starter, Growth, Business and Enterprise include CSV export of issued orders and signed webhooks that send each issued order to your own systems. A workspace admin can export the workspace’s records and files, and delete the workspace after a grace period in which the deletion can be cancelled, from the app.	Reports on every plan and multiple dashboards on Pro. Exporting data is not stated. [1]
Accounting connection	Mittral does not connect to accounting software. Issued orders leave by CSV export and webhooks on paid plans.	Yes: integrations with accounting software keep purchasing and accounts payable in sync, and approved transactions are sent to your accounting system. The pricing page lists accounting integrations as an add-on on Pro and Enterprise. [5]
Goods receipt and invoice matching	Not included. Mittral covers purchase requests, approvals and purchase orders. It does not receive goods, hold budgets, match invoices, pay suppliers or keep stock.	Yes: invoices received by email or upload, read with OCR, coded, routed through approval workflows and matched against purchase orders and receipts, with discrepancies flagged. [5]
Support	Business and Enterprise include dedicated support, and the workspace can be set up with you.	A help centre, email and a phone number are listed. Enterprise adds priority support and an implementation package. [1]

Choose Mittral if

You want to start on a free plan for 2 users and 10 purchase orders a month. Spendwise lists no free plan.
You want approval limits from the first plan. Spendwise lists approval limits and workflows from Pro, at $19 per user a month with a five-user minimum; Mittral’s Starter plan is $39 a month for 5 users.
You would rather pay per workspace than per user: 25 users on Spendwise Pro come to $475 a month at their published rate, against $128 for Mittral Growth.
You want the approved order emailed to the supplier as a PDF, nobody approving their own request, and cover when an approver is away, which Spendwise’s pages don’t describe.
You don’t need receiving, invoices, budgets or an accounting connection, and you want to start in the browser on a free plan.

Choose Spendwise if

You want goods receipt, including partial deliveries, and invoices matched against purchase orders and receipts in the same product. Mittral doesn’t do either.
You want invoices captured by email or upload, read with OCR, coded and routed for approval as part of accounts payable.
You want each request checked against the remaining budget, with spending tracked by account, department and project.
You want purchasing and payables kept in sync with your accounting software. Mittral doesn’t connect to accounting software.
You want a catalogue, buying from supplier websites through punch-out, or inventory management as an add-on.

In short

Spendwise covers the whole procure-to-pay cycle: requests and approvals, purchase orders, receiving, invoice matching, budgets and an accounting connection, priced per user from $9 a month, with approval limits from $19. Mittral does less on purpose: requests, approvals and a purchase order emailed to the supplier, with a free plan and flat workspace prices that cost less for a larger team. If you want purchasing and accounts payable in one system, Spendwise fits; if you need approved orders out to suppliers without the rest, Mittral is the simpler choice.
