Users agree: TravelPerk is easier to use than SAP Concur

TravelPerk focuses on providing an easy-to-use interface, for travelers and travel managers alike. Its user-friendly interface receives constant praise from its users. The platform is easy to set up and start booking. Travelers can self-book with any credit card while knowing they’re following their company’s travel compliance policy, enabling them to “optimize the travel process and focus on developing business”.

Unfortunately, SAP Concur struggles when it comes to user experience. Some call it outdated and others call it complicated. SAP Concur gets the job done, but when it comes to user-friendliness it doesn’t tick all the boxes.

After the pandemic, business travel should be as easy as possible. TravelPerk makes sure that it is.

TravelPerk is there for you

One of the key features that differentiate TravelPerk from SAP Concur is its 24/7 in-house customer support, operating at a 15-second response time. This wins TravelPerk constant positive feedback—with reviews reporting TravelPerk support is “10/10, fast, professional, and very responsive”.

Although SAP Concur Travel offers 24/7 phone support, it’s not a live-rep. This means that it will go to an automatic response machine rather than to a person for real-time help. Not what you need when your flight’s been canceled and you don’t know what to do!

Why users love TravelPerk

Here’s why thousands of companies have chosen TravelPerk to manage their business travel!

  • Instant platform setup
  • $0 setup fee & no hidden costs
  • 15s response time for customer support
  • 80% of the cost back 
for canceled trips
  • Claim 25% of your travel VAT
  • Free trial on any

TravelPerk was built with SMBs in mind

One of TravelPerk’s strengths is that it was built with SMBs, and their business travel needs in mind. The booking platform is fast to learn and has a quick onboarding process that lets any team, no matter how big or small, start using TravelPerk hassle-free.

With TravelPerk any small business or startup can have a process that’s as solid as if it were a corporate travel management strategy. TravelPerk customers have the same travel booking functionality of hiring multiple travel agencies–without the hefty price tag.

Another reason why TravelPerk proves it was designed with SMBs in mind. It offers a free trial on any pricing plan and a pay-when-you-travel service–helping your company save time and money. In comparison, SAP Concur only offers a limited free trial.

Reasons why TravelPerk is your go-to alternative

Easy-to-use and better compliance

Easy-to-use and better compliance

TravelPerk’s reviews from both travelers and admins consistently cite that the platform is user-friendly. Something that not many say about SAP Concur. This allows for companies to enjoy smoother compliance and oversight. After all, if travelers can’t manage the booking tool properly, they’ll use other websites and platforms, generating leakage.

Refunds made easy

Refunds made easy

Using any booking tool for business trips after the pandemic can make anyone nervous about refunds. Thankfully, TravelPerk has FlexiPerk. A feature designed for the uncertain times we are living in. FlexiPerk allows users to get at least 80% refunds if they cancel up to 2-hours before departure

On-the-go mobile apps

On-the-go mobile apps

Both TravelPerk and SAP Concur have mobile apps available on iPhone and Android. TravelPerk lets you save all your bookings, expenses, and itineraries in one place, and access them even on airplane mode–handy when you can’t access the airport’s wifi. Instead, with the SAP Concur app, user reviews say having problems with the receipt uploading process.
