At a glanceClyr vs Stampli at a glance
No spinThe honest version of this comparison
Stampli is good at AP. Its construction story is real: named integrations with FOUNDATION, Vista by Viewpoint, Sage 300 CRE, and Sage Intacct Construction, and documented cases of large invoice-cycle reductions. A general contractor processing thousands of invoices a month on Vista should have Stampli on the shortlist, and this page will not pretend otherwise.
The question for most field companies is different: what fraction of your spend arrives as an invoice? The truck card at the supply house, the tech's fuel stop, the reimbursement for a parts run, the utility bill for the shop: none of it is an invoice, and none of it enters Stampli. Companies that pick an AP specialist end up buying a second product for cards and receipts, then reconciling job costs across both. Clyr's argument is one system: every dollar, invoice or swipe, captured, coded to its job, and visible in one budget vs. actual view.
Head to headWhere each platform is strong
Invoice processing at volume. Stampli's dedicated focus shows in its approval collaboration and its Billy AI coding. Clyr automates the same cycle, capture, coding, approvals, payment by ACH, check, or card, PO matching, inside the broader platform.
Everything that is not an invoice. Card spend captured by text at the swipe, no-login receipt links for crews, reimbursements with mileage, utility bills fetched from provider portals with variance alerts, 1099 e-filing. This is Clyr's half of the field, and Stampli does not play on it.
Job-level truth. Stampli codes invoices to jobs through the ERP. Clyr shows live budget vs. actual per job across all spend types, which is the number an owner actually asks for mid-project.
Enterprise construction ERPs. Stampli's FOUNDATION and Vista integrations are deeper than anything Clyr claims there. Companies committed to those ERPs at enterprise scale should weigh that seriously.
PricingPricing model
Stampli is quote-based, typically scoped by invoice volume and modules. Clyr is usage-based and includes the card-expense side that would otherwise require a second subscription. Price the stack, not the product: AP specialist plus expense tool plus reconciliation time, versus one platform.
Who should choose Stampli
AP departments with heavy invoice volume on enterprise ERPs, especially construction firms on FOUNDATION, Vista, or Sage 300 CRE, whose card-spend problem is either small or already solved elsewhere.
Who should choose Clyr
Field companies where spend splits between invoices and cards: contractors, property managers, service businesses. Teams that want one approval framework, one coding engine, and one job-cost view across everything, without buying and stitching two products.
MigrationSwitching from Stampli to Clyr
Vendor records and open bills migrate via your accounting sync; approval rules rebuild in Clyr's rule engine in an afternoon. The bigger change is additive: card spend and field receipts join the same system, so plan coding rules for both sides at once.

FAQFrequently asked questions
Is Clyr a good alternative to Stampli?
Yes, when the goal is automating all spend rather than invoices alone. Clyr matches the AP cycle and adds card capture, reimbursements, utilities, and live job costing in the same system.
Does Clyr automate invoice processing like Stampli?
Yes: invoices are captured, AI-coded, routed by approval rules, matched to POs, and paid by ACH, check, or card, with a full audit trail.
Can Stampli handle employee card expenses?
No; Stampli is invoice-focused. Card spend requires a separate product, which is precisely the gap Clyr closes.
Does Clyr work for property management AP?
Yes, including the part nobody else automates: utility bills retrieved daily from provider portals, matched to properties and units, with variance alerts, and synced to your PMS.
We run a construction ERP like Vista. Which fits better?
At enterprise invoice volume on Vista or FOUNDATION, Stampli's integrations are a real advantage. On QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, or NetSuite, with meaningful card spend in the field, Clyr's one-platform model usually wins the total math.
How long does Clyr take to deploy?
About 15 minutes of admin setup, with approval rules and coding rules configured against your existing chart of accounts; field staff onboard by text.
