“The real-time transaction notifications and AI-based coding have streamlined our processes, and the absence of a proprietary card means we maintain our banking relationships. Plus, the ongoing US-based support is a game-changer for our nationwide teams.”
Stampli is a genuinely good AP tool. Its whole design centers on the invoice: Billy the Bot reads it, coding suggestions appear on it, and approvers discuss it right there in context. If your finance team's pain is a crowded invoice inbox, Stampli addresses it well. But invoices are one lane of company spend. The techs buying materials on cards, the fuel stops, the utility bills, the reimbursements: none of that is an invoice, and none of it flows through an invoice-centric tool.
Clyr covers the whole road. AP automation and bill pay are built in, and so is everything Stampli leaves out: real-time card feeds on your existing cards, receipts by text, AI coding to jobs and properties, utility bill management, 1099 e-filing, and reimbursements.
The most common reason is scope. Companies adopt Stampli for AP and immediately need a second product for employee card spend, a third for reimbursements, and spreadsheets to stitch them together. Each tool has its own coding logic, its own sync, and its own gaps, and the books only reconcile after someone does the manual work the tools were supposed to remove. For field businesses there is a second reason: Stampli has no native concept of a job, a property, or a billable markup.
An invoice-first system sees spend after a vendor bills you. A transaction-first system sees spend the moment it happens. For office companies the difference is small; for field companies it is everything, because most job-site spend never generates an invoice at all. It is a card swipe at a supply counter, and it needs a receipt, a code, and a job assignment within minutes, not at month end. That real-time loop, a text to the tech and a photo back, is Clyr's core; see real-time receipt capture.
On AP, the two overlap: invoice capture, AI-assisted coding, approval routing, and vendor payments. Clyr then extends into the spend Stampli does not touch. AI coding rules handle card transactions the same way they handle bills. Reimbursements and mileage live in the same system as vendor payments. Utility bill management automates the recurring meters behind every property, and vendor management carries 1099 e-filing so filing season is a review, not a project.
Stampli connects to an impressive list of ERPs and accounting systems. Clyr syncs two ways with QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, and Sage, and then goes where AP tools do not: AppFolio, Buildium, Rent Manager, RentVine, Jobber, ServiceTitan, Service Fusion, Hostaway, and 25+ platforms overall, so both invoices and card spend land on the right property, unit, or job. The full list is on the integrations page.
Teams shortlisting Stampli often weigh AvidXchange too; both are AP-first platforms with different strengths (our Clyr vs AvidXchange page covers that one). The question worth asking before choosing between them: do you want to automate the invoice inbox, or the entire flow of money leaving the company? If the second, an AP-only tool is half a solution.
Vendor records, open bills, and approval chains map over during 1:1 white-glove onboarding, and your card programs connect alongside them, from any issuer. Most teams are live in under a day, and the AP workflow your approvers know keeps working while card spend starts coding itself.
If your only problem is invoice processing at volume, Stampli is a strong specialist. If your spend also happens on cards, at supply houses, and across properties and jobs, Clyr replaces the specialist plus the two other tools you would need beside it.

Yes, especially if you need more than AP. Clyr includes invoice capture, AI coding, approvals, and vendor payments like Stampli, and adds card expense management, receipts by text, reimbursements, utility bills, and 1099 e-filing in the same platform.
Stampli is an AP-first tool where everything centers on the invoice. Clyr is a full spend platform: AP plus real-time card expense capture on your existing cards, job costing with billable markup, and two-way sync with field platforms like AppFolio and ServiceTitan.
Yes. Bills are captured, coded by AI rules, routed for approval, and paid, with vendor management and 1099 e-filing attached. The difference is that card spend and reimbursements run through the same system.
Yes, natively. Every swipe on a connected card triggers a text, the employee replies with a receipt photo, and coding rules assign vendor, category, class, and job automatically.
Yes. Two-way sync with AppFolio, Buildium, Rent Manager, and RentVine means bills and card spend land on the right property and unit, and utility bill management handles the recurring meters.
Most teams go live in under a day. Vendors, open bills, and approval chains are mapped during 1:1 onboarding, and card feeds connect immediately.
