ControlHub review

ControlHub targets hardware companies in fields such as robotics, drones, space and batteries, and its pricing is easy to read. The Approvals plan costs $249 per month with a 30-day trial and includes unlimited purchasing requests, unlimited requester users, five advanced users, team structures, categories, custom approval flows and dashboards. Extra advanced users cost $12 each. The Purchasing plan, at $599 per month, adds automatic PO generation, receiving, receipt collection, multiple currencies and virtual and physical cards for US-based companies. Budget management, inventory, invoice and bill management, AP or ERP sync, enterprise SSO and vendor integrations sit on the Full P2P or custom plan. Integrations include QuickBooks and Slack plus supplier connections to Amazon, McMaster and Digi-Key, which matter for engineering buyers. The weakness for finance teams is that budgets and accounting sync are not on either published plan.
