    It is better since Expensify covers a multitude of different expensible options. Motus is nice as it tracks your location for the most accurate milage usage reading but also that features heavily drains my phone battery so it is very nice to just map it myself and put in later …

    Expensify by far passes Excel on keeping track of expenses and reconciling. The report function is also relatively easy to use. The ability to graph is an excellent asset as well.

    Concur was more expensive but offered a few other things that worked better on a corporate platform. For me personally I chose Expensify based on the lower cost and better access to what makes a difference to me on a local sales rep level. I don't use Expensify to do invoicing, …

    12/10 prefer Expensify over Oracle.

    From user friendliness, to support, and selfishly, the overall look and design of Expensify blows other finance software out of the water.

    Expensify is simpler and more user-friendly, especially for individual use. The scan receipt function and the straightforward reporting process are key advantages. I chose Expensify because it’s quick to set up and handles most tasks without overcomplicating things.

    Expensify is so much better!!! TravelPerk had us spending hours on the phone with their concierge to get the best travel options, to rebook cancelled or delayed travel, and to make any changes to the itinerary before a trip. It was clunky and ineffective. We often lost money …

    Concur has an integration to the CRM system, perhaps more robust with travel options, but it's also more complicated to use in my opinion. An overkill for a small business

    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.
