Expensify

Pros

Expensify is one of the best software to record daily spends and claim reimbursements. Its easy to use, easy to navigate, simple dashboard. Anyone can use this easily. You can pull combine as well as singular reports for the employees.

Cons

In reporting I have faced the formatting issues. due to this its take time to make that report correct.

Pros

We have been using Expensify for a long time and syncing it with different systems, including Workday and Netsuite. Expensify allows us to customize our policies to include custom fields from Netsuite which is a good feature. The approval workflow is straightforward and user-friendly, and the best part is that it doesn't require any training. Approvers can easily review expense reports with receipts attached to expenses. We reviewed other competitors' software and found them either expensive or not up to par. However, Expensify is a true value for money.

Cons

So far no complaints and it serves the purpose.

Reasons for Switching to Expensify

Pros

Ease of use and ability to finally organise my receipts in time for the gestor. I didn’t have to presort them as they are saved and retrievable digitally by category or date or supplier. I liked that I could just email a bunch of receipts off at the same time to Expensify and they would upload all the receipts later ready for me to check and categorise and of course it remembers categories so you can save on time doing that too.

Cons

If anything the time to upload a receipt manually could be improved. I wasn’t sure if I had done it correctly or not the first few times I tried and it sort of felt a bit clunky. This was from my iPhone XR though so not sure if it’s a better experience on android.

Reasons for Switching to Expensify

Pros

Nothing can beat the "Snap and Go" feature of this app. I can just take a photo of the receipt and expensify automatically extracts all the expense data. Another feature i liked about this app is that it gives me expense report automatically (once its sent for reimbursement, after its approved and after i get reimbursed). Expensify reimburse me directly to my bank account and its mobile friendly as well.

Cons

SmartScan is a great feature Expensify has but its not perfect. Sometime it gives error while scanning which can be pain. And its also a offline app.
Other than these two, this app is second to none in this category of application (Expense management category).

Pros

We can easily track the record of expenses and find out particular person with whom those expenses are paid.Attachments are also very easily uploaded.

Cons

Everything is amazing about product. One thing which i feel that is not good for product is anyone can see the expense on the portal u just need id and password.

Pros

Very easy to import credit card csv files. The mobile upload and auto scan feature is great!

Cons

The monthly cost was pricey. Could not justify the monthly expense to manage expenses.

Pros

Their technology looked good on the front end. Their app is very functional and user-friendly.

Cons

The progress they made on product enhancements was slow

Pros

Expensify makes it easy to manage my expenses within the company. It's very fast to use and super user friendly!

Cons

The smart scanner is a great idea, but unfortunately the performance isn't as good as the idea. I take less time filling my reports myself than using the smart scanner

Pros

I like that Expensify automates the entire process of expense management through receipts capturing and expenses categorization.

Cons

I have not had any bad experience with Expensify on my end.

Pros

I've been using Expensify for many years now to keep track of my monthly expenses and get a full and proper report for our accountant. Expensify offers few but essential options, even with the free version. You upload receipts from your cellphone, get them scanned and their information automatically filled within Expensify. The reports are clear and complete. Overall, it does exactly what you would expect from such a tool.

Cons

Some options are "hidden" and not easy to find in the first place, making the tool acting strangely. For example, last year, at some point, without doing anything on my part, my reports were automatically closed and sent to my manager before they were completed. I had to go and change the settings in a part of the options I've never used/seen before. After that, all was good though.

Pros

I love the fact that it tracks employees business expenses easily. It has a great UI for users like me and it's easy to manage. Am able to submit and approve expense reports especially when my clients are traveling. It offers a self-service setup with dedicated support making my job easier

Cons

Its customer service only favours large companies bt small businesses or self-employed like me we can only receive support through chat or mail. So it is challenging when something complex needs to change

Pros

Loving the simplicity of use of the Expensify app, helped me tremendously while travelling for work in keeping track of my travel expenses. Loving also the on-the-air currency exchange feature when submitting receipts that happens on the app.

Cons

No cons so far, loving the app and awesome support team.

Pros

I like that I can see past receipts and expenses. I also like the app.

Cons

There do seem to be some areas that require too many steps, in my opinion. For example, if I wanted to mark down that there were others at the dinner table, there are several extra steps that you need to go through.

Pros

Not much now that I found an alternative expense reporting system for my company. Expensify was great when there was little other competition. The price was more reasonable than others. The receipt matching was decent, and it was awesome to have it integrated with Quickbooks to reduce financial admin.

Cons

It is very clunky and slow. It would take forever to pull reports, make changes, or create pdfs. It is also expensive in comparison to new kids on the block that are more feature rich with advanced technology that are free.

Pros

Expensify makes it pretty easy to manage expenses, especially in larger companies. It integrates well with other software and is self-explanatory for people to use.

Cons

It doesn't have the nicest interface and some of the features could be streamlined. It's not as delightful to use as other competitors, like Pleo.

Pros

Expensify makes tracking receipts and sending them to the business office flawless. As long as you take a picture, the rest is easy.

Cons

There’s nothing I don’t like about Expensify. It’s easy. The only suggestion is something it thinks two charges are duplicates when they’re not but Expensify lets you resolve it easily.

Pros

Email receipts to upload to Expensify is super convenient.

Cons

Amex account activity import can be finicky.

Pros

I like the ease of use, and lack of flashiness of Expensify. Mobile seems to work well, and the receipt scanning is quick often.

Cons

IT is very bare bones, it works ok, but there is little intelligence to it. for example when entering mileage it should know what category that is.

Pros

The ease of use and the mobile app. I love how everything is well designed and how you can get a summarized pdf when the report is closed.

Cons

The summarized pdf report could provide better visibility of the receipts. An option to do excel o CSV instead of pdf would be great.

Pros

Expensify makes it very easy to record expenses, the user interface is very simple and you can even upload receipts.

Cons

The web based version is not as straightforward as the app. The interface looks very busy

Pros

Easy to use, integrate to NetSuite, can open multiple policies with different currencies and different definitions

Cons

Reports are very basic, I am unable to change anything in them

Pros

I think the "default rate" for gas reimbursement is one of the best features they offer... that we utilize. It is great to have a rate set to the market of the person in the field because we have employees across the country, gas prices vary, and we want to fairly reimburse people. It is much easier than having to set a rate ourselves, monitor it, and change it as the market does.

Cons

It's not the most user friendly site to navigate. It is difficult to figure out how to submit an expense without some playing around. Since there are several ways to submit an expense, it is hard to tell if you are done and set to be reimbursed.

Pros

Super easy to use and learning how navigate through thr software

Cons

Honestly, there wasn't anything that i wasn't happy about

Pros

Easy to upload receipts from the phone and submit expenses

Cons

Some search results don't appear easily in the drop down list.
