# What's the highest rated Expense Management Software for automating receipt processing and cutting approval time?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey G2 community, what's actually the highest rated <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/expense-management">expense management</a> tool for automating receipt processing and speeding up approvals, not just claiming to? Reviewers on Rippling Finance mention receipts matching to card charges the moment they're photographed, with reimbursement landing on the next payroll run. Expensify's SmartScan gets similar praise, especially from reviewers who travel internationally and needed currency conversion handled automatically. Paylocity reviewers point to something different: expenses live on the same record as payroll and HR, so approvals stay routed to the right person even as teams shift.</p><ul>

<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/expensify/reviews"><strong>Expensify</strong></a> (4.5 stars, 5,665 reviews) is the fastest SmartScan experience for most reviewers, though a recent AI redesign has confused longtime users.</li>

<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/paylocity/reviews"><strong>Paylocity</strong></a> (4.4 stars, 6,157 reviews) keeps approval routing accurate as staffing changes.</li>

&lt;p&gt;The time savings would feel most real in receipt matching and fewer back-and-forth approval steps. For approver absences, I’d favor whichever tool makes delegation or backup routing automatic so expenses don’t just sit waiting in someone’s queue.&lt;/p&gt;
