Expensify vs. Rydoo

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.

Very good tools that are easy to use, but the tools do require a bit of an adjustment period for many users who are used to submitting expenses in packets as opposed to individual line items.

• I am able to submit my mileage and the great feature to put the starting destination and end destination. It auto populates the mileage for you!
• The coniserge is helpful and reminds me when I did not do certain things like submit my report. That’s a nice feature!
• I am able to submit my expenses quickly and it scans the receipts or you can upload a picture of them very quickly.

• Cant choose for specific lines of non -reimbursable expenses to several credit cards. only one preconfigured.
• there are limited cards to choose for with Expensify Travel as a corporate cards.
• The policy rules are pretty basic. i would like to have more granular options

• The receipt info that gets pulled in isn't always correct.
• The receipt info takes about 2 minutes to upload so could be faster.

Our company will use Expensify for as long as it will fit our purposes. However, it is obvious that once the fast-growing company will reach a certain size, we will need to transition to a more complex system. For our current purposes however, Expensify is great and I would recommend it to everyone

So simple to set up and use. It was easy to roll out to all our staff! The demos, instructions, and FAQ's were well written and enabled us to train our staff quickly. We have frontline employees who have mastered the system in a day. The scalability is also perfect. We are able to start with just a few cards and grew that number as our organization needed without any problems.

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.

When Rydoo is responsive, support is just fine, but there have been times when our requests for support have gone unanswered for more than a day when their queue has indicated response times much shorter than that.

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

Concur is the only formal software I've used, though I think this was only used in my PhD program (2010-2014), so in fairness, it's been a while. I remember Concur being just OK. It was certainly easier to use than the 'upload documents to email' process my former employer had instituted, but it was not Expensify-level smart and easy. At least back then, there was no simple drag-and-drop document parsing for example.

I prefer Expensify over Rydoo. It is easier to work with both corporate cards and reimbursed expenses in Expensify, and it is much easier to reimburse the expenses directly through Expensify than having to work with a 3rd party outside of Rydoo. I have not used Expensify with multiple currencies, so I don't know how well it would handle that.

• Positives include - timely expense reports to reconcile our fiscal year financials
• Negatives include - the monthly service fee per employee (even if no expenses were generated that month) - it is not cost effective for ALL of our employees to utilize the application.

• Rydoo saves time, which saves money. I'm able to make and check expenses quickly.
• Rydoo was easy to learn and integrate. It didn't require lengthly training so it smoothed the onboarding process for new hires.
• Rydoo centralizes internal communication about specific expenses, since you can leave comments.
