Expensify Reviews

Pros

Expensify was simple to tailor (both fields and groups for employees), allowing us to align it perfectly with our needs and establish distinct parameters for various employee groups. The mobile functionalities are also incredibly handy.

Cons

I find it beneficial to personalize some of the automated report submissions and set various reminders for employees.

Pros

App functionality, scanning and recognition, is quite clever in remembering my recurring expenses and VAT allocations, saving time on all tasks: from creating reports to finance verifying and processing my reimbursements.

Cons

I require different profiles for separate setups in various countries I frequently travel to.

Pros

The platform is super intuitive, you can upload receipts for scanning or manually input expenses and details. As a user, all I need to do is submit, and the system routes it to the relevant stakeholders for approval before reimbursement.

Cons

It's easy to think I've submitted an expense when it hasn't gone through, but I typically receive a reminder email prompting me to submit.

Pros

The mobile app and receipt tracking capabilities are superb.

Cons

I wish there were more options for pulling reports and showing detailed receipts. Also, better integration with emailed receipts would be helpful.

Pros

Using the software is exceptionally easy and intuitive, making it effortless for users to learn and operate efficiently.

Cons

Honestly, I didn't find anything that displeased me.

Pros

We adored this tool. It performed exceptionally well for our nonprofit, seamlessly integrating with credit cards and payment systems.

Cons

Two things bothered me about Expensify. First, they started integrating DEI into their marketing, prominently featuring BLM materials on their site. I prefer they focus solely on processing receipts rather than pushing progressive ideals. Second, I couldn't connect with my primary banks anymore.

Pros

When evaluating this solution, we appreciated its demonstrated functionality, relatively low cost, and credit card integration.

Cons

My experience with implementation has been awful. The process lacks organization, and resolving issues like whitelisting ACH codes took Expensify almost 10 days. Integration with Xero stopped working and hasn't been fixed in over a month. I'm frustrated that I can only speak to our implementation coordinator, despite needing technical support from someone who can actually solve problems.

Pros

We've relied on Expensify for years, syncing it with various systems like Workday and Netsuite. Expensify allows us to customize policies, incorporating custom fields from Netsuite, a fantastic feature. The approval workflow is direct and intuitive, requiring no training. Approvers can easily review expense reports with attached receipts. We explored other software options but found them either costly or inadequate. Expensify truly offers value for money.

Cons

So far, I have no complaints; Expensify serves its purpose well.

Pros

It's effortless to upload receipts for my expenses and stay reminded about submitting my expense report.

Cons

I enjoy using Expensify, especially its intuitive interface.

Pros

I've used Expensify for years to track monthly expenses and generate comprehensive reports for our accountant. Even with the free version, Expensify offers essential options. You can upload receipts from your phone, have them scanned, and automatically populate their details within Expensify. The reports are thorough and clear. Overall, it delivers precisely what you'd expect from such a tool.

Cons

Some options are hard to find initially, making the tool behave strangely. For instance, last year, my reports were automatically closed and sent to my manager without my knowledge. I had to navigate unfamiliar settings to fix this issue, but once adjusted, everything worked well.

Pros

Expensify provides us with top-notch features for managing and reporting travel and time-related expenses.

Cons

Using Expensify has been smooth; it includes all the features we need.

Pros

Compared to similar services, there's no comparison.

Cons

The billing process is unclear and changes subscription dates without warning. Despite multiple unanswered emails and unresponsive customer service, we switched to another platform that offers better service at a lower cost. It's crucial to turn off auto-renew to avoid unexpected charges with Expensify.

Pros

I love being able to scan a receipt or upload a photo and get my expenses approved before completing a work trip.

Cons

Occasionally, I get confused with the codes, but that's more due to organizational issues than the software itself.

Pros

As an accountant, I really value its expense mapping and integration with NetSuite. The workflow, reports, and automated error-flagging are all excellent features!

Cons

I don't have any complaints. However, I find the cost-benefit ratio less favorable for smaller companies compared to those with high volume expenses, where Expensify is indispensable.

Pros

It consolidates all my finances in one place, eliminating the need for multiple folders or Google Drive.

Cons

I find the inconsistency in auto-receipt generation problematic.

Pros

What impressed me most about this software is how efficiently it tracks receipts and manages expenses without any complications. The feature where you can take a photo of a receipt and have it automatically transcribed is incredibly convenient. It has greatly simplified my expense recording, saving me time and effort.

Cons

Although the platform is generally user-friendly, setting it up initially and customizing specific features for my business required more time and effort than I anticipated.

Pros

I appreciate the simplicity of the Expensify app, which was incredibly helpful during work travels for tracking expenses. I also love the in-app currency exchange feature when submitting receipts.

Cons

I haven't encountered any cons so far; the app is great, and the support team is awesome.

Pros

Once you get the hang of it, Expensify makes expense management a breeze. I've tried managing expenses with paper, spreadsheets, and Concur, and those experiences were terrible and error-prone. Now, everything goes through Expensify, and I can forget about it. If there's something I missed or need to follow up on, Expensify promptly reminds me with clear instructions.

Cons

There's a bit of a learning curve. Initially, I found the UI sparse and figuring out where things are located challenging. Once familiar, though, the tasks are straightforward.

Pros

I like being able to access past receipts and expenses easily. The app itself is also great.

Cons

Some tasks require too many steps, in my opinion. For example, marking down the number of people at a dinner table involves several extra steps.

Pros

It's relatively simple to establish the integration with accounting systems, making the process hassle-free and accessible even for those unfamiliar with technical setups.

Cons

Support often seems unsure how to assist and the workflow is frustrating, especially regarding routing. It forces me to set up multiple domains to manage multiple accounts at the same institution.
