Booking.com for Business bundled spend management into its travel workflow rather than charging for it, collapsing willingness-to-pay for a paid category (Concur/Ramp/Brex/Navan-style expense). The lesson is the sequence, not the feature: an incumbent in an adjacent category can make your paid product a free attachment. Free-tier cannibalization just landed in finance SaaS.
