Considered Both Products
BILL
Chose BILL
BILL has been our one and only go-to, and we have no intention of switching.
Chose BILL
1. Automation & Workflow Efficiency.2. Integration Capabilities with other softwaresWe needed a centralized, automated, and scalable solution for managing both payables and receivables. The strong integration with our existing accounting software was a key factor.The platform …
Chose BILL
top solution out there to simplify accounting and finance tracking. Only negative note: they started charging for every single client ACH payment done through Quickbooks. Originally this feature was free, but then it grew to up to $10 per transaction. Reason for which we had to …
Chose BILL
In my last job, we used Clients and Profits (which isn't listed as a product). We switched from it to NetSuite and I believe used Epay to print checks from CSV import files generated from NetSuite. Bill.com seems way easier and streamlined.
Chose BILL
Bill.com was something my employer uses in the US. But it certainly doesn't work here in Canada [in my experience]. Paypal is easy to retrieve payments from and Quickbooks is almost seamless. The sign-in process through the Bill.com App is ridiculous [in my opinion] and …
Chose BILL
My client selected Bill.com. I would advise future clients to simply send a bank transfer or use an alternative service. I loathe PayPal but at least it works [in my experience].
Chose BILL
I have received paper checks and direct deposit from my previous employers. Those are much much easier to use.
The only problem I have had with those is being unable to deposit coin with my check for $x99.96 at some banks.
Chose BILL
It's more flexible and affordable than Expensify and QB online. It allows a more novice user to understand and manage the backend of the platform. It costs less for growing companies since you don't have to sign a long contract. Its similar in flexibility of payments to PayPal …
Chose BILL
We left Bill.com and went back to Sage Intacct AP module, corporate email inbox, and Amex Vender Payment Services.
Chose BILL
We used to use microsoft GP and microsoft access to process our invoices. But bill.com is much more effective and user friendly than the others.
Chose BILL
Bill does not stack well against it competitors. I believe Sage Intacct Accounts Payable or Purchasing Module would be a lot better used for all Accounts Payable needs. I also believe AvidXchange and Concur would come into a close second due to the fact that the publishers …
Chose BILL
We currently use Ariba, Coupa, Tungsten Network and many more invoice upload websites. Bill.com is a much easier user friendly site than majority of these other sites. Bill.com allows the upload process of invoices to be much simpler than many other sites. It also allows us to …
Chose BILL
We are switching from Bill.com to Tipalti because it is able to handle everything Bill.com cannot and allows our company to quickly scale. Bill.com has had the opposite effect on our company. We could not continue to scale until we decided to stop using their service. It was …
Chose BILL
Bill.com's strongest characteristic is that it integrates seamlessly with our GL system. Of the systems that I have used, Bill.com has required the least amount of mental energy ensuring that everything is being processed correctly and that all payments/transactions integrate …
Chose BILL
Bill.com is the only one that does both receivables and payables in one platform. Bill.com is more for that than it is for document management.
Chose BILL
Compared to Mineral.tree, Bill.com offers much of the same functionality at a much nice price point. I think Mineral Tree has Bill.com beat with some higher-end features, such as international capabilities, etc. Yet most domestic organizations do not require this advanced …
Chose BILL
We looked at software called Connect Booster that would have integrated with another piece of software we use (ConnectWise). We selected Bill.com over Connect Booster because it was much more cost-effective. I wish there was a way to integrate credit card payments as well.
Chose BILL
I have not come across another solution as complete as Bill.com. I have looked at Concur, Quickbooks bill payments, bank payment systems and even more advanced systems like Intacct or Oracle, but none of then provides the features and benefits of Bill.com.
Chose BILL
I was not involved in the selection process but we implemented Bill.com when the business started in 2013, so we have used it from the beginning. We use QuickBooks Online for our management company bookkeeping but we choose to process payments through Bill.com because it's more …
Webexpenses
Chose Webexpenses
I think Webexpenses' core strength is VAT reclaim and compliance, especially for UK/EU businesses. Unlike Expensify or card-centric Pleo, Webexpenses' system and dedicated local support are built to maximize recovery by automatically capturing and applying correct VAT rates, …
Chose Webexpenses
Not tried any others. (Other than excel spreadsheet).
Chose Webexpenses
I love how user friendly is it to use.
Chose Webexpenses
SAP Concur is a very similar product and I had two company credit cards whilst using the programme so I'm not sure how this compares but I'm sure the integration is similar.
Chose Webexpenses
I have not used any other app in the past like Webexpenses
Chose Webexpenses
I believe Webexpenses is much more user-friendly than other similar systems. The mobile app mirrors the web browser, and the system works in exactly the same way, meaning I can use the app on the go and keep track of my expenses, ensuring I never miss one, as it can be added at …
Chose Webexpenses
Honestly, I thought the two products were very similar, however, Webexpense beat ExpenseIn on price, and since we were already familiar, and more importantly, happy with Webexpense, it made logical and commercial sense to stay with Webexpenses.
Chose Webexpenses
Have not used other products before. But would not switch as Webexpenses works well for me and have no reason to switch to a different app.
Chose Webexpenses
this is the only apps we used for the same purpose
Chose Webexpenses
Webexpenses is easier to use and understand to me and my colleagues. you literally can just look at the page and you can see the hwole graph of everything and the pie chart that is displayed so that you dont have to figure it out yourself
Chose Webexpenses
I cannot remember the name of the product I used previously but compared to that this one is a lot more user friendly and efficient.
Chose Webexpenses
Webexpenses can be integrated with accounting and payroll software (like Sage, SAP, or QuickBooks) for seamless processing and reporting.
Chose Webexpenses
I used an internal programme in CBRE Ireland and it was not user friendly and you'd have to input the same information over and over for every expense added.
Chose Webexpenses
Previously have not used any.
Chose Webexpenses
For me, Webexpenses is slightly better than Concur, but I was not involved in selecting it over Concur.
Chose Webexpenses
Webexpenses was chosen as they were very responsive, flexible and qualitative at the beginning, not anymore, after 4 years.
Chose Webexpenses
Previously i had only used excel sheets for my expenses

It depends, Bill.com certainly has a strong reputation and I agree it can be a great solution in the right scenario but I think the implementation and initial setup are critical and need to be well thought out based on the setup of the organization you are a part of.

It's great that it is very easy to add documents, such as receipts, in different document formats, including PDF and Word. I use the system throughout the month, and add the expense line into the claim when it happens, rather than doing it all at the same time at the end of the month - this helps me to keep track of expenses owed and miles driven throughout the month. It would be great if I were able to save regular locations when adding mileage.

Pros
  • The fact that bill.com automatically processes most information on the invoice is really helpful - leads to quicker processing
  • The "to do list" feature ensures you see the tasks that need to be completed ASAP
  • The reports section is very helpful in year end prepping for audits
Read full review
  • imports credit card transactions from our corporate card program without issue
  • allows for easy set up of new users
  • is a very intuitive, easy to learn tool
  • has a very responsive support and customer service team
  • Set up and configuration was thorough, and they were able to work through our unique issues, such as custom segments in NetSuite.
  • It is a very inexpensive product. Well worth the cost.

Cons
  • Voiding a bill in Bill.com is easy, but unfortunately, the void doesn't sync automatically to Quickbooks Online (unlike bill and bill payments, which do automatically sync). Bill.com is great in always telling you exactly what to do to correct it in your Quickbooks Online software, but it would nice if there weren't extra steps you had to take when this happens.
  • Bill.com only sends the first page of a bill with a check. Typically this isn't a problem, but in some instances, it's necessary for more than 1 page to be sent. It would be nice if Bill.com had a checkbox selection option to print up to a set number of pages (maybe up to 5) for an additional fee. Having the option would be great so I don't have to jump through hoops with other methods to try to get a bill paid, all because I need more than 1 page to go with the check.

  • When you click add receipts after putting the details of your expense, you get the impression that you have done something incorrect from the prompt that you receive
  • Two options for adding receipts can confuse people when training them on how to use
  • An easy to access FAQ would be helpful

Likelihood to Renew
While our firm does not use Bill.com internally, we know many customers that use Bill.com and are very happy with it. Based on the feedback from current users, I would say that the product should have a strong renewal forecast. Once customers move their AP to the cloud, they would be unlikely to move it back given a choice.

It depends if alternative systems for other functions (HR / Payroll) have expenses functionality included as a supplementary service. If they’re part of a total system then having a separate system for expenses when another system provides the functionality (even if mildly less efficient, etc) then it wouldn’t be viable

Usability
Bill.com continues to raise the bar with new features and improved interface. The Fast Pay option is another innovation that reduces administrative time when you have to get an overnight check out. The new Chat Support interface, powered by Zopim, which is world-class, adds to the responsiveness of Bill.com's support team and makes getting real-time answers that much easier.

It is simple to use. Things are intuitive even for a first time user. UI can be improved to make it have a more modern feel. But the current UI is simple and elegant. Different sections for claims, reports and receipts make it easy to get things sorted and quickly access them when needed.

Reliability and Availability
The only time Bill.com was ever "unavailable" was then the Sync to Quickbooks function failed. That happened a time or two but was usually quickly remedied. I'm not sure if that's an issue with newer online versions of Quickbooks Enterprise -- at the time we were using a remotely hosted Quickbooks instance accessed via terminal server (vs a cloud offering like Bill.com is)

The soft ware is reliable. The phone app works well and allows you to upload evidence, receipts, log mileage and log expenses. It works well and is rarely locked or there are very few times the app is down. The laptop based software is easy to access and again is always available

Support Rating
I could not explain to them how I was trying to remove an old email account from my company page while granting the new email account access to the bank account that the first email account had added. The "set a bank account as inactive" button is labeled delete, but they don't seem to recognize that. I requested my Bill.com account be deleted on Wednesday so I could start all over with a fresh account; this seemed to be completed Wednesday night, but when I tried to create a new Bill.com account from the same email, it took me to my old bill.com account.

The support for the initial setup was great, but since then we have only had to contact support once when we had problems uploading credit card files. The help we received at this time was not good and we ended up trying various things until we resolved the problem ourselves. The online support tutorials are good, but searching for a specific issue is difficult.

Alternatives Considered
Previously, we used Rydoo for submitting, approving, and receiving reimbursements. We switched to bill.com after changing our external tax consultants in the US. We still use Rydoo for the submitting and approving part and only use bill.com to receive payment. I admit I find Rydoo easier to use, with a cleaner interface and friendlier brand voice.

I think Webexpenses' core strength is VAT reclaim and compliance, especially for UK/EU businesses. Unlike Expensify or card-centric Pleo, Webexpenses' system and dedicated local support are built to maximize recovery by automatically capturing and applying correct VAT rates, ensuring compliant documentation, and integrating smoothly with local accounting systems like Sage.

Every department in my organization uses webexpenses. My role and the role of others involves travel, expenses and mileage.

Return on Investment
  • After receiving an offer to 'finance' outstanding invoices, I was enticed by the promise of a 3% total cost for a 60-day period, with the possibility of extending the financing for an additional 10 months (for an additional fee). Eager to access funds, I decided to finance an invoice worth $17,160.00. Within 24 hours, BILL deposited $16,645.20 (97% of the invoice amount) into my account.
  • However, when the customer paid their $17,160 invoice four days later, instead of the funds being deposited into my checking account as I expected, BILL chose to retire the loan and retain my $514.80 fee for the 4 day advance period. This unexpected turn of events resulted in an effective interest rate of a staggering 273.75%. It was clear that this arrangement was far from what I had initially understood, and the financial impact was outrageously high.
  • Frustratingly, my attempts to resolve this issue through customer service were in vain, as I spoke with three agents who provided no satisfactory solutions. To anyone contemplating using BILL's services, I strongly urge you to carefully scrutinize the fine print and consider opting for a more reputable finance company."

  • Does save a lot of time, helps you to stay on top of claims
