Free to start. Per scan, never per seat.

One scan is one detection check on one transaction. The bill follows the depth you choose - not your headcount, and not what Bard finds.

Free to start

First 1,000 scans free. One-time, no credit card, no sales call.

Pay for coverage, not conclusions

If nothing gets flagged, you still got the audit. No seats, no hidden fees.

No setup fees

A read-only connection takes minutes. The audit starts right away.

Most audit tools charge you for the wrong thing.

Per-seat bills your headcount. Per-finding taxes your own problems, and makes overlooking them the cheaper option.

Basic

One pass per transaction - enough to catch what's plainly wrong on its own.

1 scan / expense $0.07 / expense

In-depth

Four passes - brings in vendor history, the submitter's baseline, and the approval path.

4 scans / expense $0.28 / expense

Max intelligence

Nine passes - full reasoning chains and correlation across your whole history.

9 scans / expense $0.63 / expense

Read-only by design SOC 2 Type II TLS 1.3 · AES-256 GDPR compliant Built by Mesh Payments

No surprises, by design.

Is there really no setup?
Yes. Read-only to NetSuite or QuickBooks, or a CSV, typically in a few minutes. Nothing to install, nobody to retrain. First findings arrive within hours.
What exactly is a “scan”?
One detection check run on one transaction. The depth you choose decides how many each one triggers, so the bill reflects the reasoning actually applied, not just your volume.
Why per scan instead of per seat or per finding?
Because a clean month is still worth paying for. You bought the coverage and the trail that proves it, and nobody has an incentive to look the other way.
How is the price per expense decided?
It's $0.07 a scan, always. Basic runs one pass per expense ($0.07), In-depth four ($0.28), Max intelligence nine ($0.63) - so the cost per expense moves only with the depth you ask for.
Do I have to commit to a contract?
No. Month-to-month, no minimum. Turn it off any time - your data stays yours.
What does “free to start” include?
The first 1,000 scans, free. A one-time allowance, not a monthly reset, applied when your spot opens.
Do we need to use Mesh?
No. Bard audits whatever is already in your ERP. Connecting Mesh only adds card and receipt detail, and only if you already use it.
Is my financial data safe?
Connections are read-only: Bard sees your data and can never touch it. TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR compliant.

Built by Mesh Payments. No Mesh relationship required.

Bard inherits the security of infrastructure 1,500+ companies already trust - and nothing else comes with it. No Mesh cards, no Mesh expense management. Connect your ERP and Bard audits what's already there.
