Rubric is built for universities to manage clubs centrally with traditional reimbursement workflows. communities.one takes a different approach: the card won't work until the receipt is uploaded, solving the fundamental problem of chasing students for documentation.
If your university already uses Rubric, you may need to use it. If you want near-100% receipt compliance without manual enforcement, communities.one's auto-locking cards change the game.
