Expensify does not equal simplify
- It syncs to QBO well
- It's easy to reimburse employees timely
- It's easy to split expenses between departments
- Smart scan fails too often.
- It would be great if there was a REQUIRED date of purchase AI recognition.
- It would be helpful if employees could have designated departments/classes so the expenses would automatically code to the correct department.
- As an admin user adding approvers to new users seems cumbersome and error-ridden. When I try to add approvers to new employees, often times, the field is blacked out or not even an option.
- It would be great if we could easily deactivate users without going through multiple steps.
- I would like to be able to delete reports from the inbox that are old/and not correct instead of having to request the submitter to do so.
- I can hardly see the buttons on the filters in the inbox and the expenses list.
- It would be nice to be able to filter by approver.
- I don't like that user names aren't uniform. Why do some users have their email address as their username, and some people have their actual name (First and Last).

WORST PROGRAM AND SUPPORT EVER
- I don't have anything to contribute here
- We have had so many problems within only 3 months of using and still have no resolution despite reaching out to your "support" on a weekly basis. Support cannot be bothered to have more than a chat conversation despite continued complex issues that cannot be clearly communicated or resolved via text and require a phone conversation.
- Keep getting "duplicate" transactions one showing as a credit card and one as cash. No resolution from previously suggested actions from your "support" team
- Transactions from a card that is not connected in Expensify are coming through onto a report despite us never integrating or connecting that card on purpose. No resolution for that despite numerous contacts with "support"
- Negligence of stated features per the contract which I believe you have violated
- Card transactions from 1 employee's card will show on a different employee's report as a cash transaction.

Expensify makes expense reporting easy and a little fun
- Submitting expenses. It's easy to enter an expense, choose a category, enter the dollar amount and submit it. That's about it.
- Uploading receipts. You can send receipts to Expensify from your phone, or upload them from your computer.
- Entering hours worked. It's simple to move from expenses over to timesheets to submit the hours that you've worked.
- Keeping their political opinions out of it. I shouldn't be emailed and told to vote for a certain candidate like they chose to do before the presidential election. I didn't sign up for Fox News or CNN.
- Uploading duplicate charges. Duplicate charges are flagged, but sometimes I have multiple expenses for the same dollar amount and the same company. To get around this, I change the cents a bit ($19.99 for one and $20.01 or another).
- Every once in a while it gets a little buggy when uploading a receipt, and I have to press the back button and start again. This is pretty rare though.

Making Expense Tracking Simpler and Pleasant
- UI is easy to follow and convenient - web and mobile.
- Nice workflow for approvals.
- Uploading receipts directly from phone makes the process very convenient.
- Web based version has a lot going on and you can be distracted.
- The smartscan feature can be 50/50 at times. Perhaps they can provide more guidance on how to have a more successful scan?
- Awesome mobile app
- Very easy for employees to upload receipts
- Simplified reimbursement process
- Web experience could've been better. I preferred the mobile experience.
- Pricing model was confusing & seemed to change a lot.
- They push their products a lot.

May 03, 2021
Expensify - easy to use

We've used Expensify for four years but we stopped
- Easy-to-use interface
- Good approval process
- Supports multiple currencies
- Ability to enforce policies on expenses
- Their pricing model is very complicated and keeps changing
- Their customer service has deteriorated in the past two years
- Pushing other products, such as their credit card, on customers by preventing them from keeping their current plans unless they include and pay for the new service.

Expensify for your money
- Upload images from your phone or computer (receipts)
- Alerts the financial team to approve or deny the expense
- Links with your bank account for payment
- Once you submit your expense, it is not submitted. You have to double back to your "home" and go from there actually to submit the expense.
- I do wish that as those on the team are approving finances, it would tell you if someone has looked at it. Not just say it's approved.
- Disbursing payments
- Autofill via receipt photos
- Remembering expense categorizations
- Sending the expenses to be approved is somewhat confusing for new users
- Having a default expenses payer is glitchy.

Expensify Makes Expenses Easy
- Expense categorization
- Integration with QuickBooks
- Report labelling
- Automatic reminders for submissions/approvals
February 11, 2020
Expensify is easy to use!
- Simple report and expense creation.
- Clear error messages with prompts on how to correct the errors.
- I can't think of any improvements! This is an excellent tool.
January 31, 2020
Expensify is a must for sales teams
- It helps categorize business expenses really well for our accounting department.
- The ability to upload a picture as proof or additional information is huge.
- Sometimes the ability to add a picture to a report is somewhat clumsy.
- I wish you could submit a report a bit easier.
January 29, 2020
Solid Tool for Expense Management
- Receipt scanning
- Approval process
- Catching duplicate receipts
- Allowing for a visual of spend vs. budget
January 24, 2020
Truly automates expense management
- User friendly - It's easy to get started.
- Quick and clear communication - Employees know exactly when they'll be reimbursed.
- The mobile app and web app don't have the same UX.
- Smartscan sometimes takes a while.
January 23, 2020
Expensify is a time and money saver
- Smart scanning of receipts is a wonderful tool that saves me keystroking time.
- The ability to create mileage receipts using the maps feature makes it unnecessary to track odometer readings.
- Creating the expense rules can be a little clunky and difficult.
- Some things are difficult to find. For instance, when I needed to change the mileage rate, I had to search the knowledgebase for how to do this.
January 23, 2020
A fun and easy to use expense management tool
- An easy to use interface -- it's really self-explanatory.
- AI/machine learning -- the system automatically reads your receipts and fills out your expense information, which saves time.
- Sometimes the tool can take a little bit to read your receipts and input the information. Ideally, it would be a little quicker.
January 18, 2020
Expensify does what I need it to do
- Upload a receipt from my phone easily.
- Approve and forward an expense report from someone on my team.
- I understand the back end is not liked by our finance team, but I am not sure why.
- I don't like the auto scan on receipts.
January 18, 2020
The good, and not so good about Expensify
- Collects data from credit cards.
- Collects data from bank statements.
- Multiple-project or client billing and tracking is more work than it should be.
- Help and support is a bit cloudy and not easy to use.
January 18, 2020
Good expense submission and reimbursement tool for small and medium-sized businesses
- I like that you can set up rules for common expenses like cell phone reimbursement so you don't have to type the same thing each time.
- You can sync to your bank accounts to automatically pull in transactions.
- Most of the time, the smartscan feature fails or freezes for a long period of time on mobile and I have to enter things manually.
- I can't choose to submit my expenses to different people (only my manager), example if I incurred expenses from a different department head I can't send to them for approval.
January 17, 2020
A great tool for keeping track of business receipts!
- It provides smart scanning of receipts, and autofills line items from receipts
- Receipt integration with 3rd-party apps.
- We've had incorrect "Disputes" at times when auto-scanning.
- It's more user-friendly on the mobile app than on desktop.
January 17, 2020
Expensify Makes Travel Easier
- Converting pictures of restaurant receipts is a big plus.
- I can tag different accounts and clients very easily.
- I don't see the Concierege function having much use for what I do.
January 16, 2020

- Parking/Taxi Expenses
- Personal Food Exepenses
January 15, 2020
