The key differences between Stampli versus AvidXchange
Stampli delivers instant support and seamlessly integrates with your ERP while respecting your vendor relationships. Meanwhile, AvidXchange keeps customers waiting days for basic support, struggles with limited ERP functionality, and aggressively pushes high-fee credit cards on your vendors.
The G2 scores in this chart are from the AP Automation category officially released in September 2025.
Corpay’s acquisition of AvidXchange
AvidXchange users face growing risks under new ownership.
Now that Corpay and private equity firm TPG own AvidXchange, the platform’s priorities may no longer be aligned with your finance team. Corpay’s payments-first model incentivizes pushing fee-based transactions—not building better AP automation. That could mean fewer roadmap investments in workflow innovation, and more focus on monetized rails like virtual cards and FX fees.
Private equity ownership only adds pressure for short-term gains—possibly leading to cost-cutting, slower R&D, and even product sunset. AvidXchange users may soon face longer support wait times, forced migrations, and rising costs.
Avid once helped teams streamline payables. But with Corpay in charge, your AP future may now be built to serve shareholder interests—not yours.

"The concept is great but their process is painful"
I've been working with them to onboard for weeks maybe months now, and they have such an outdated and lengthy process that it's literally painful to complete.
I'm a tech savvy person and I have figured out how to use many new software, and I have not yet came across an app that take it's customers on such a discouraging ride.
I wish there's a competitor that I can use instead.
