Melio vs. Webexpenses

In my personal experiences, I would recommend Melio to a friend or colleague but would tell them the pros and the con. Melio has really made payments seem seamless and easy. The fact that one can plan his/her payment schedule in advance and at the same time track it, is a very big relief. In as much as Melio has a lot of good features but it still needs upgrade or update, like the notifications of failed payments and delays.

Really suits me well for making mileage claims, the map works well and it has an accurate log of addresses. Very handy and easy to be able to add any necessary receipts. Could be a good idea to include live road closures? but I understand that's quite tricky to do. Really easy to be able to move routes when you have gone a different way than recommended.

• The simplicity it adds to business payments is a great deal. One feature we really value it the ability to pay vendors by check. Melio prints and mails checks for us which saves time and hassle.
• Payment scheduling tool is another thing we enjoy. This tool lets us plan ahead and manage cash flow more effectively by setting payment dates in advance.
• Another thing Melio does well is the tracking of payment.
• There was a time a vendor claimed that they hadn't been paid, but with just a few clicks we could see the check has already been delivered.
• This kind of transparency gives us confident and keep things professional.
• The integration with other platform or accounts like QuickBooks is an experience I did love to keep.

• imports credit card transactions from our corporate card program without issue
• allows for easy set up of new users
• is a very intuitive, easy to learn tool
• has a very responsive support and customer service team
• Set up and configuration was thorough, and they were able to work through our unique issues, such as custom segments in NetSuite.
• It is a very inexpensive product. Well worth the cost.

• There should be an automatic link between vendors added with their Melio link and the same vendors that already exist in QuickBooks. As it is now, a new vendor is created when you do that and is not linked with the one that already is in QuickBooks.

• When you click add receipts after putting the details of your expense, you get the impression that you have done something incorrect from the prompt that you receive
• Two options for adding receipts can confuse people when training them on how to use
• An easy to access FAQ would be helpful

I like the interface. I am familiar with functionality. Convenient to send ACH payments.

There doesn't seem to be anything in the market at the same price point that is better, however if there is an interrupter in the market that provides better value, then we would heavily assess the cost of change to see if we should move on to the alternative offering.

Melio has been a very important tool in the advancement of our business. With great features, it has made payments to vendors seamless and hassle free. In terms of vendor management, account/data tracking, and scheduling of payments in advance. This has formed the base that we are still with Melio till today.

Based on what I have used it for, it was very easy to use and navigate. The approval process was already setup on the back end so there was no confusion on my end. Notifications were sent to my email based on status which made it helpful to understand where an expense was in the process.

Some times image uploads can be slow and you have to alter the image resolution to increase the speed

They have great customer support system

The support for the initial setup was great, but since then we have only had to contact support once when we had problems uploading credit card files. The help we received at this time was not good and we ended up trying various things until we resolved the problem ourselves. The online support tutorials are good, but searching for a specific issue is difficult.

Very educative. It was well detailed, organized and knowledgeable.

All went well.

Very helpful and we learnt a handful

It was difficult to train multiple people via video, as they learned at different speeds, and most of the user champions were not as capable with systems and finance processes as our dept.

As long as you have people that are fully aware of the setup steps to get users into the software then I would see no issues arising for any company.

Melio is 100% free if you just use ACH, and that by itself would be reason enough for me to stick with the platform, it boats a ton of other useful features that add to the experience.

I would have to say that Webexpenses does not stack up well in comparison to Expensify. If given a choice, I would choose Expensify for the best user experience and mobile / desktop being more seamless. It accomplishes the same thing but has a more modern, minimal, and streamlined feel to it.

• I have been able to save hours every week now that I am only using Melio as my payment processor
• I can easily add invoice details which I use to create in another platform and upload to Melio, this saves me time with projects I want to be quicker with
• The ease of use for my clients is fantastic, and makes for a seamless workflow

• Easy integration with your existing finance / accounting software.
• Lot of time is being saved in maintaining records and now going completely online.
• Love the option of Scan receipts with Google-vision-powered optical character. This also resulted in less use of paper in our office.
