    Compared to SAP Concur which is the only other app that I have ever used, it's so much easier and so much useful, it'll keep you updated all the time, and has more categories (of what I can remember)

    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 …

    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

    Expensify is much better than chrome river across all dimensions, from ease of use to OCR capabilities. I had a good experience with Chrome River but it has been eclipsed by my Expensify experience by far. Chrome River really struggled to capture all the details in my invoices, …

    Expensify's auto-capturing of receipts makes life so much easier. Very rarely do you have to worry about a lost receipt or try tracking someone down to get the documentation that you need. It's far more user friendly within the app and more straightforward to use than Bill or …

    Expensify is more powerful, less cumbersome, easier to use than Zoho Expense. Zoho expense would frequently hiccup during expense entry and that would lead to loss of work in progress, which was very frustrating to team members. Expensify is smoother workflows and the AI and …

    Expensify is much more streamlined and easier to use than Concur which I used at my previous employer. Many of the functions I had to manually do on Concur, I am able to do automatically in Expensify. The App integration makes it easy to make submissions on the Fly, where I …

    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.

    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.

    A dedicated app like Expensify does better than a combined platform at the main use case - expense tracking, reporting, and reimbursement. Bigger, wider-scope platforms take more effort or have other features that can occasionally get in the way. We prefer Expensify's simpler, …

    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.

    Cons
    Expensify
    • I wish that I could sync accounts on the back end kind of like with banking software, so that Expensify would automatically port over receipts for recurring expenses as soon as they're available
    • It would be nice to one-click submit an expense all the way through instead of having to attach it to a report
    • Wackier profile icons? :) Not a big deal. This software is pretty much amazing as it is now, and typically the urge to update and modify very good software leads to poor outcomes!

    We like using the tool and we receive positive feedback from employees and management who use the tool. It saves time and helps us concentrate on the value adding activities so we are very likely to keep using Expensify in the future

    Usability
    Expensify
    My rating of 8 out of 10 for Expensify's overall usability reflects its strong performance in empowering individual users and streamlining core expense processes, while acknowledging that there are specific areas, particularly on the administrative or enterprise side, where the user experience could be further refined. Exceptional End-User Experience (for basic tasks).Automation & Time-Saving Features.Clear Workflow for Approvers. Why it's not a perfect 10 (areas for improvement that dock points): Limited corporate bank to choose from, limited multi-currency to pay to ( for instance, as a foreign corporatio,n i cannot pay with my US account to Israeli employees, or pay to our UK employees)

    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.

    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

    It is definitely 10 times better than using an Excel spreadsheet. We are talking a digitized with AI type capabilities to do the work for you. It’s honestly a lifesaver. This beats manual calculations and data entry any day. Scanning 100 receipts and saving them to pdf files not only takes space on your storage but it is an extra unnecessary step

    Return on Investment
    Expensify
    • We went from paying credit card fees with no approval process to a no fees and complex approval processes.
    • I personally save time in not having to develop a spend report I just have my admin assistent fill in the details of the auto generated report and it is done. Went from an hour long process to 5- 10 minutes max to prepare a high quality audit ready report.
