Likelihood to Recommend Expensify has been incredibly useful to me for many years. Considering I am using the free version, it's hard to find a better value! If your company does not have a good expense-capturing system, Expensify will save you hours on submitting reports. You can take a picture and toss the paper receipts right at the point of sale without worrying about losing them during your travels. If you have a small business, you can use it to track and organize regular expenses to make billable expenses and end-of-year taxes a whole lot easier.
Read full review It is well suited and, I guess, is a primary role for remote or distributed teams - especially when you know a person not well to trust him in managing local costs was agreed to pay. If you work with contractors with irregular payments, it will suit you as well cause of immediate card transfer, but it may be limited by your local KYC policy. It is not typical to pay payroll costs with it because it is focused mostly on operations with virtual card balances, so it is less appropriate for it. So it works best for remote teams.

Read full review Usability Mobile works great, but let's be honest. It's just a photograph. Their OCR and human turk technology works great to scan that photo and enter the proper information. The web interface is decent and allows you to work with single expenses in great detail. What's missing is the ability to mass update expenses, and this sometimes hurts, especially if you're a heavy user of the system.

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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Concur was a great product as well but Expensify offers the ability to quickly upload expenses and submit reports just the same. There is no free version with Concur, so for a small business that's interested in keeping costs down I would highly recommend Expensify.
Read full review It is mostly focused on virtual visa operations. In general, all cash flow controlling suits easily can start from Excel or Google Colab integrations and evolve even to Sungard or WSS. It depends. Visa Spend Clarity is about your flexibility "to have your own bank in a pocket" - open sub-accounts, set limits, and reconcile costs actually made by your contractors or employees. We should see it wider and include Uber, Booking, Airbnb, and Flow interactions to make it a really fast process for your contractor from your "Yes" to contractor "Done". The Visa Spend Clarity is not exactly about your money (costs). It is more about your ability to start acting faster even if all details of cooperation with a person are not agreed upon, but as soon as possible, discuss critical details or add maneuver to your decision-making while limiting financial risk with reasonable limits.
Read full review Return on Investment Our organization no longer spends countless hours per month orchestrating the consolidation of data (MS Excel, typically) into our general ledger. Our accounting department is no longer tasked with making sure the correct individuals have approved submitted reports. Our accountants have a much easier time coding the reports that have been submitted by users. For the most part, we rely on users to code their submissions to the correct accounts.
