The Best Pana Alternative

Pana was a guest travel platform that bundled travel booking with candidate reimbursements. After being acquired by Coupa in 2021, Pana is no longer available as a standalone product.

As companies return to in-person interviews, many former Pana customers are looking for a reimbursement solution for the first time in years. Reimbi has helped several of them make the switch — and unlike Pana, Reimbi focuses on candidate reimbursements without the overhead of travel booking.

Reimbi has been helping recruiting teams reimburse candidates since 2017 — through the pandemic, through Pana's shutdown, and through the return to in-person hiring. While guest travel platforms group all non-employees into a generic "guest" category, Reimbi is built around the candidate experience. From policy sharing and expense collection through approval routing to same-day payout, every feature is designed with candidates and recruiting teams in mind.

Guest Travel Solutions

| Focus | Bundles travel booking with reimbursement. If your candidates book their own travel or your team uses a separate travel tool, you're paying for functionality you don't need. | | Candidate experience | Candidates interact with a broader travel platform that may feel unfamiliar or overly complex for a simple expense submission. | | Payout speed | Reimbursement timelines vary. Payouts often depend on the platform's travel reconciliation process, which can introduce delays. | | Pricing | Pricing often reflects the full travel + reimbursement bundle. You may pay a premium for travel booking capabilities your team doesn't use. | | Multi-currency payouts | International reimbursement support varies. Some platforms focus on domestic travel and treat international payouts as an add-on. | | Setup & onboarding | Implementing a full travel platform typically requires more configuration, stakeholder coordination, and onboarding time. | | Security & compliance | Security standards vary by provider. Evaluate each platform's certifications against your organization's requirements. | | Integrations | Integrations tend to center on travel management and corporate booking tools rather than recruiting-specific workflows. |
