Rebecca Miller Assistant Controller Chose BILL Spend & Expense Bill Spend & Expense and Ramp are pretty comparable, but we ended up making the change to Ramp based on three factors: 1.

Verified User Anonymous Chose BILL Spend & Expense We also used other credit cards for employee to use, such as bank issued credit card or Capital One issued credit card, so far Divvy Card is the best one.

Verified User Anonymous Chose BILL Spend & Expense Have not compared or used other systems. Incentivized Helpful? Ruth Ann Moss Executive Director Chose BILL Spend & Expense We used Expensify previously and strongly prefer BILL.

Verified User Anonymous Chose BILL Spend & Expense I haven't used anything like Divvy before. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose BILL Spend & Expense Divvy was much more affordable (free) compared to Concur. It has all the functionally as Concur with a free, alternative solution. We selected Divvy because it helped us achieve three things; capture receipts, allow users to spend within their budgets, and set budgets to … Incentivized Helpful? JaCoby Marston, CPA Chief Financial Officer » Finance Management \| Accounting \| Taxation \| Cost Controls Chose BILL Spend & Expense Chase One Card Program This program is like Divvy's program but it is not user-friendly and is not easy-to-use software.

Verified User Anonymous Chose BILL Spend & Expense We haven't evaluated any other products. Incentivized Helpful? JE John Enns Credit card admin Chose BILL Spend & Expense We have used American Express and BOA and while they both give you the standard use of a credit card, neither one allows you to do all the things that Divvy does. Virtual cards, budget increases, categorization, receipt maintenance. Divvy is the only one we have tried of this … Incentivized Helpful? William L. Duffy Accounting & Payroll Specialist Chose BILL Spend & Expense We also researched other paid products (e.g. SAP Concur) and Divvy is far and beyond a better UI with all necessary features while they continue to improve and build out other fancy features. Incentivized Helpful? Brian Thueson Director of Finance Chose BILL Spend & Expense Divvy is the provider of the credit cards. Expensify and Concur only connects your outside cards to their system.

Incentivized Helpful? Jackie Bassett NEJM Insights Council Chose BILL Spend & Expense Nothing out there compares to the agility and ease of use of Divvy.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Expensify Much more easy and user intuitive, the chat/support function is of an entirely different caliber that makes all the difference, UX/UI is far more 'advanced' Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Expensify There is no comparison. Expensify is user friendly and easy to learn. Incentivized Helpful? SH Stacey Harvey Medical Device Account Manager Chose Expensify There is no comparison - Expensify rules & Concur drools. I dreaded when it was time to do Concur expense reports, as they would take 4-6 hours to complete every 2x weeks. Concur had SOOOOOOOOOO many rules & snags. Expensify is the opposite of Concur in all the best ways … Incentivized Helpful? AB Ana Boyero Software developer Chose Expensify Within this company, Expensify is the primary tool we use, so I haven't heavily evaluated other platforms here. However, I have brief experience with tools like Navan, whick I used once and honestly I don't remember so well. I know I prefer Expensify Incentivized Helpful? RC Renato Campana Principal Strategist Chose Expensify Expensify is much better than chrome river across all dimensions, from ease of use to OCR capabilities.

Megan Gonzalez Associate Invoicing & Compliance Manager Chose Expensify Expensify's auto-capturing of receipts makes life so much easier.

JT Jurriaan Teulings Travel writer and photographer Chose Expensify I haven't really found anything like it. There are all kinds of financial apps that I use, but they are always for different purposes. Incentivized Helpful? Bruce Walenius Senior Security Response Program Manager Chose Expensify There is no comparison. When I worked at IBM, they used a legacy home-grown app on AIX that was probably designed in about 1975. Expensify is a much more modern approach, far, far easier to use. Incentivized Helpful? Ray Wong, CPA, CMA Consultant Chose Expensify This product is much better to use than fresh books. the user interface is very modern and very intuitive and easy to use. I wish the other organizations I worked at would have used this software instead and I could get my expenses paid timely. The reporting is excellent and … Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? Brian White Owner Chose Expensify Expensify is simpler to use and less expensive than Dext. I find it to be much simpler to use, it feels less bulky. Ramp does not have the variety of tools available when compared to Expensify. I am not familiar with using Expensify cards, but I assume that they do that well. Incentivized Helpful? Bilyan Belchev Head of Products Chose Expensify A dedicated app like Expensify does better than a combined platform at the main use case - expense tracking, reporting, and reimbursement.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Expensify Concur is the only formal software I've used, though I think this was only used in my PhD program (2010-2014), so in fairness, it's been a while.

User Testimonials
	BILL Spend & Expense	Expensify
Likelihood to Recommend	Divvy is well suited for almost any organization/business I can think of. If you need to spend money from a specific predetermined budget, Divvy works great. If you have a high volume of transactions and you're fairly decent with excel, you can create an upload file to move transactions into your general ledger (currently only QB is supported for plug ins). If I'm really trying to find a less appropriate example, maybe if you have employees who can have a large credit limit and need to travel a lot, an Amex card might have better benefits. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I think it's really good for small businesses. At least in the way we use it. It's very good for keeping an eye on employee spending in nearly real time. I'm not sure how it works for larger companies when there is a larger number of people to keep track of. Incentivized Rebecca Cat Johnston Office Manager Read full review
Pros	BILL is a really user friendly system - very easy to onboard people into. We love BILL's rewards system and the ability to redeem for travel or gift cards. BILL offers a sync option with QuickBooks that has been invaluable for our finance processes. Ruth Ann Moss Executive Director Read full review	I am able to submit my mileage and the great feature to put the starting destination and end destination. It auto populates the mileage for you! The coniserge is helpful and reminds me when I did not do certain things like submit my report. That’s a nice feature! I am able to submit my expenses quickly and it scans the receipts or you can upload a picture of them very quickly. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Logging into more than one company or ease of logging into more than one company at a time. Instant messaging system to work with employees on particular transactions. Being able to collect rewards on a monthly basis and having the option to get it in the form of a statement credit. JE John Enns Credit card admin Read full review	Cant choose for specific lines of non -reimbursable expenses to several credit cards. only one preconfigured. there are limited cards to choose for with Expensify Travel as a corporate cards. The policy rules are pretty basic. i would like to have more granular options Erez Storch CFO (Chief Financial Officer) Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Our company will use Expensify for as long as it will fit our purposes. However, it is obvious that once the fast-growing company will reach a certain size, we will need to transition to a more complex system. For our current purposes however, Expensify is great and I would recommend it to everyone Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	The Divvy card provides convenience and flexibility for Finance to manage and monitor each user's transactions at any time. User can issue many virtual cards for different purposes. Transactions can be easily approved. Since we can monitor transaction closely, fraud can be prevented effectively. Mobile app is user friendly and safe. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	So simple to set up and use. It was easy to roll out to all our staff! The demos, instructions, and FAQ's were well written and enabled us to train our staff quickly. We have frontline employees who have mastered the system in a day. The scalability is also perfect. We are able to start with just a few cards and grew that number as our organization needed without any problems. Incentivized Ron Riley Executive Director Read full review
Support Rating	We have enjoyed using Divvy and its functions. The Divvy team has been great, and their support team is outstanding. They have a chatbox on the platform, and they only seem to be someone on call. I have found its benefits to be outstanding, that I recommend it to my clients. I also feel that Divvy rolling out new features only makes it more compelling to stay on as a user. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Our rep has been amazing. He has built custom reports for us that have been very time consuming and difficult. Our reps are also currently looking into new submission solutions for us that we are excited about. They came up with this and recommended it on their own without me complaining about an issue. They are about our success and are very excited about the product they offer. Incentivized Lisa Shapiro Payroll Manager Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	The implementation process went rather smoothly, linking it to the bank and cards was handled easily. without too many unnecessary steps. Getting the accounts setup did take some time, but that would be true with any organization. All in all things went smoothly and I was very pleased with the setup and implementation process Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Bill Spend & Expense and Ramp are pretty comparable, but we ended up making the change to Ramp based on three factors: 1. The actual receipt or invoice uploads into Sage Intacct, so when reviewing financials, everything is in one place. 2. The cashback program was much simpler and a higher rate than what we were getting. 3. We were bringing our A/P processing into a cloud solution, and wanted to be able to have them on the same one as our credit cards. This fact, combined with point 1, and just a slightly different payment flexibility, made the difference for us. Leaving out those points, which might not matter as much to someone else in a different situation, Bill Spend and Expense is a solid solution for anyone. Incentivized Rebecca Miller Assistant Controller Read full review	Concur is the only formal software I've used, though I think this was only used in my PhD program (2010-2014), so in fairness, it's been a while. I remember Concur being just OK. It was certainly easier to use than the 'upload documents to email' process my former employer had instituted, but it was not Expensify-level smart and easy. At least back then, there was no simple drag-and-drop document parsing for example. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Immediate ROI for any company who wants their teams to focus on driving new revenues, creating great products or over delivering to customers - instead of chasing receipts 30 days behind. Ease of use and a great sales and tech support team at Divvy ensure successful onboarding with each and every employee. Immediate ROI from being able to have an agile budgeting process - cashflows improve immediately when budget spend is captured in real-time, and new opportunities are captured when approvals are that easy. Incentivized Jackie Bassett NEJM Insights Council Read full review	Positives include - timely expense reports to reconcile our fiscal year financials Negatives include - the monthly service fee per employee (even if no expenses were generated that month) - it is not cost effective for ALL of our employees to utilize the application.
