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 stays on the invoice: capture, coding, approval, and payment. Clyr runs that same cycle, capture, coding, approvals, payment by ACH, check, or card, PO matching, and also keeps your cards.
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 invoices are only part of the spend. Clyr runs AP and also keeps your cards, texts for receipts, and codes each swipe to jobs, properties, and the GL.
Does Clyr automate invoices?
Yes. Vendor bills are captured, coded, approved, and paid by ACH, check, or card, with PO matching and 1099 e-filing. Card spend sits in the same system.
Can Stampli manage employee card expenses?
Stampli is an invoice product. Card expenses on the Amex, Visa, and Mastercard you already have are what Clyr is built to capture and code.
Does Clyr handle property and job costs?
Yes. Rules and AI code card spend and bills to jobs, cost codes, properties, and the GL. Utility bills can be retrieved from provider portals.
We use a construction ERP. What should we compare?
If the only gap is invoice depth on an enterprise construction ERP, compare that scope on its own. If field card spend also has to close, Clyr covers the cards and the bills.
How long does Clyr take to set up?
About 15 minutes of admin setup. Connect the cards and the accounting file, set coding rules, and staff send the first receipt by text the same day.
