Effortless Expense Reporting That Saves Me Tons of Time **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Angela C. | Director of Marketing Operations, Manufacturing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2026 **What do you like best about Expensify?** It's very easy to use for expense reporting. I just email receipts or PDF invoices to receipts@expensify.com and it extracts all the information into an expense. We have custom GL codes and tags setup to align with our internal accounting practices. Submitting the reports is easy and very organized. It packages everything together including images of all the receipts into a PDF that gets sent to my accounting department. I currently use the individual free version but will use the paid version when I am travelling and have many receipts for the month. I find this to be very reasonable. **What do you dislike about Expensify?** Nothing. This is amazing and I save so much time using it vs having to take pics and keeping track of everything myself. **What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's saving my time by keeping all my expenses organized and making it so I don't have to type in the initial expense details. I also use the app to upload physical receipts, which it also scans and extracts information from. This is super helpful when I am travelling. **Official Response from Lindsey Peckham:** > Angela, thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're so glad to hear that you're loving Expensify! ### 2. Integration and Automation Plus, Admin Experience Minus **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marissa G. | Financial Controller, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2025 **What do you like best about Expensify?** I like using Expensify for employee reimbursement of valid business expenses, especially for employees who don't have a corporate credit card. It helps collect information from employees, including receipt copies and expenditure details, and coordinates the workflow for approval and direct deposit ACH reimbursement. The integration with our accounting software, Sage Intacct, is valuable because it helps streamline the expense entry and automates it, so we don't have to replicate data in Sage; everything flows from Expensify into the proper categories and time periods. I think Expensify is a really great tool and, from an employee perspective, the app and user experience is fantastic! **What do you dislike about Expensify?** Unfortunately, they did a big update in January 2026 that's still difficult to get used to for interfacing as an admin. The old views were much easier to navigate. We've also noticed a timing difference of when the integration from Expensify to Sage happens, and we have to initiate the payment of the expense report for the expenses to move into the accounting system, but I think that may be more of a setup issue we have rather than a problem with Expensify itself. Also, while Expensify is a great tool, it feels very pricey for what they offer and not always a competitive solution. **What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Expensify streamlines employee reimbursement, automates capturing receipts and approvals, and enables ACH reimbursements, enhancing our workflow. Its integration with Sage Intacct simplifies expense entry, saving us from duplicate entries by flowing expenses into accurate categories and periods. **Official Response from Daniel Vidal:** > Thank you for the review! Sorry to hear about the Amex connection. I'll be sure to forward this to the team to bring it to their attention. ### 3. Solid Expense Management Tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Damon G. | US Operations Manager, Retail, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2026 **What do you like best about Expensify?** I've been using Expensify for about 18 months now, primarily for tracking client-related travel, meals, mileage, and miscellaneous business expenses. As someone who hates the traditional headache of expense reports, I was drawn to its promise of automation and mobile-first design. **What do you dislike about Expensify?** Pricing can add up quickly: While the Collect plan starts around $5 per member/month, moving to the full Control features or scaling a team pushes costs higher (especially without committing to their corporate card for discounts). For very small teams or occasional use, it sometimes feels pricey compared to simpler alternatives. Occasional glitches and sync issues: Credit card syncing isn't always perfect—I've run into duplicate transactions or delays that require manual cleanup. The OCR isn't 100% accurate every time, particularly with poor lighting, faded receipts, or non-standard formats, so some manual editing is still needed. **What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mobile app is intuitive and fast: Submitting reports takes just a few minutes. The interface feels clean, and features like distance/mileage tracking (including recent GPS/odometer improvements) make it practical for frequent travelers. Real-time tracking and reimbursements: Expenses sync quickly, approvals move smoothly for smaller teams, and integrations with accounting tools like QuickBooks or Xero help close the books faster. Multi-currency support with automatic conversion is helpful for any international work. **Official Response from Lindsey Peckham:** > Hey Damon, thanks so much for your review and feedback! We're happy to hear Expensify has been a good experience for you overall, particularly on mobile. ### 4. Effortless Travel Expense Management **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shoaib S. | People and Culture Officer, Consulting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 22, 2026 **What do you like best about Expensify?** I like Expensify for its ease of use and great user experience. The automatic scan feature stands out because it captures all necessary information from a receipt, like who the vendor is, the amount, and menu items, which helps align with our policy. The fact that Expensify can automatically pick up details from just scanning the receipt is amazing. Once receipts are scanned, they are saved on Expensify, allowing for easy report generation and reducing the workload for both me and the employees. Expensify automating everything saves a lot of time. Plus, the team at Expensify is very cooperative, and their YouTube tutorials are very helpful. The pricing of the module is slightly higher than other competitors such as Zoho Expenses. But the user experience is far better. Not only interms of the web experience, but the mobile applications work flawlessly and more smoothly. **What do you dislike about Expensify?** Honestly, it's just a bit of a learning gap. Like, the whole once we've helped set up this whole thing to save time, getting the people up to speed, may be a bit problematic, but that's not the fault of the application. **What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Expensify to manage travel expenses, track itineraries, and stay compliant with company policies. It saves me time by automating expense reports and reimbursements, and it also reduces my workload thanks to receipt scanning. For compliance with internal travel policy, Expensify helps us align our travel needs and ensure that everyone remains within the alotted budgets of their travel per diem budgets. There is capability for it to be integrated with accounting softwares, but we have not done so. **Official Response from Daniel Vidal:** > Thank you for the review and feedback. Glad you are enjoying it! ### 5. Started off on the wrong foot, but customer service saved the day! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephanie D. | Project Manager and Team Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2026 **What do you like best about Expensify?** We were struggling with getting the right help for our needs with our account. I was brand new to the tool and didn't quite understand what I was working with. My account rep at the time didn't have the knowledge to assist me, so it fell stagnant. When I left a review here on G2, I was followed up with and prompted to meet with a new account manager. The meeting went SO well and I feel so much more confident with Expensify. And I had all my integration questions answered after months of trying. I'm excited to make Expensify work for us now, rather than dread logging in. **What do you dislike about Expensify?** I've learned that if your account rep isn't working out for you, you CAN request a new person. The knowledge base I needed for my account wasn't in line with my account rep at the time, so it would've been handy to know that I can request a new one. Other than that, I don't think there's much to improve! **What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?** Managing company credit card charges for each employee. When it works, it's great! **Official Response from Catherine DeVore:** > Thanks for the feedback. The NetSuite sync issues and customer service frustrations you've described are not the experience we want you to have. We'd like to look into this directly. Please reach out at c.devore@expensify.com so we can help get things working the way they should. ### 6. Expense reporting without the friction **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cliff L. | Founder | Enterprise Sales & Revenue Execution, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2026 **What do you like best about Expensify?** Expensify is built for speed and simplicity. SmartScan is the biggest win. Snap a receipt and it pulls in the details accurately enough that you trust it and keep using it. The mobile app is intuitive, submitting reports takes minutes, and there is almost no learning curve. It removes the friction that usually comes with expense reporting. **What do you dislike about Expensify?** There are occasional edge cases where SmartScan needs a quick manual fix, especially with less standard receipts. Reporting and customization can feel a bit limited if you are trying to do more complex finance workflows. It is not built to be overly customizable, which is fine, but worth noting depending on your needs. **What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?** It solves the biggest problem with expenses, which is time and consistency. Instead of saving receipts and dealing with them later, I handle them in real time. That keeps everything clean, reduces errors, and makes reimbursement faster. It also removes the mental overhead of tracking expenses, which adds up more than people realize. **Official Response from Nick Tooker:** > Thanks for the review, Cliff! We love that you are enjoying frictionless expense reporting. ### 7. Effortless Expense Management with Expensify **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alicia J. | Driver/Support Staff, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2026 **What do you like best about Expensify?** I really appreciate the ease of use with Expensify. It makes managing my receipts much easier compared to snapping pictures and emailing them around to different people. Everything gets submitted in one app; I just snap a picture, and it sends the information to the right person. This process is smooth and efficient, and the ability to handle everything within the app helps keep my workflow uninterrupted. It's handy that I can quickly open the app on my phone, snap a receipt, and have it handled instantly, improving my workflow significantly. Additionally, I like that the app gives me reminders if I forget to submit a receipt, which has helped improve our whole accounting process. Switching to Expensify has made getting things done much faster for both me and our accounting department. Initially, setting it up was straightforward, and the tutorials made learning the system quite simple. Overall, the app has really helped streamline our expense tracking, and I'm happy with it. **What do you dislike about Expensify?** I don’t dislike anything at all—I love the app, and I have no complaints. **What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Expensify daily to upload my receipts, resolving the hassle of emailing and sorting them. It streamlines expense submission by letting me snap and upload receipts instantly, making my workflow much smoother and quicker. **Official Response from Ryan Schaffer:** > Thanks for the great review Alicia. We appreciate your business! ### 8. Expensify: Unmatched Value with Smart AI Receipt Scanning **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David B. | Owner/Operator , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2026 **What do you like best about Expensify?** They are the only app/s software on the market that does exactly what they do. Clean integrations with credit cards, they now have AI tools that help Auto categorize your your receipts. You have the ability to email, and upload receipts which are then smart scanned in. Over time, expensify has gotten more accurate in the user experience easier. For the price, no one can match it **What do you dislike about Expensify?** I used to be anti expensify because the president got all political. However, every time they've earned back my trust by consistently improving their product. I've tried Zoho in about five other expense report softwares and I always come back to expensify **What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is much quicker and easier to photograph or upload my receipts and then match them to actual credit card statements. Creates wonderful reports with everything I must submit to my company for credit card usage **Official Response from Press Expensify:** > Thanks for your review, David! Really glad to hear the AI categorization and card integrations have been hitting the mark. That means a lot to us. ### 9. A smarter way to handle work travel expenses! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** mohan p. | engineer, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2026 **What do you like best about Expensify?** I'm someone who is constantly on the move for work for attending conferences and client locations. So i use expensify very frequently. The smartscan feature is hands down my favorite. I can take a quick photo of a receipt while i'm heading out of a restaurant or airport gate and expensify takes care of the rest. what gets me even more excited is how effortless the whole process is. No spreadsheets, no hunting for lost receipts and no end of month stress. My report practically build themselves and approvals move fast. **What do you dislike about Expensify?** no dislikes, just pure problem solver the platform is for me. Just love it every time i use. **What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?** when traveling internationally, i'm constantly collecting receipts in different currencies. Converting each one manually while making sure the exchange rate is correct on the date of the transaction was time consuming process for me. Expensify automatically converts foreign curreny expenses into the currency used for my reports. I simply take a picture of the receipt in whatever currency it is in and expensify handles the math and applies proper exchange rate. Before expensify, i had to go through credit card statements line by line, match each transaction to a receipt and enter everything manually. This was especially painful after long business trips. but now expensify keeps everything organized even when i forget to snap a photo. **Official Response from Catherine DeVore:** > This made our day! Knowing Expensify is keeping up with your pace on the road is exactly what we build for, glad it's all clicking for you. Safe travels, and thanks for sharing! ### 10. Simple App That Auto-Uploads Receipts for Effortless Reporting **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Megan G. | Associate Compliance & Invoicing Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2026 **What do you like best about Expensify?** I love the simplicity of the app! I love that it auto uploads the receipts so that I do not have to constantly keep track of a million receipts and that it automatically houses them within the app for reporting. **What do you dislike about Expensify?** The only thing I don't love is sometimes it's not always clear about whether or not the expense has been actually submitted or not. It will still show as a "draft" until it is automatically uploaded later. So that part can be confusing when you first start using the app. **What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is solving our expense reporting distribution for us and it just makes it so user-friendly and it makes the process quick and efficient. ## Expensify Discussions - [Is it possible to submit an expense associated with a report and then add expenses that are incurred sometimes much later.](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-it-possible-to-submit-an-expense-associated-with-a-report-and-then-add-expenses-that-are-incurred-sometimes-much-later) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [How do you envision expensify in next 5years ?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-you-envision-expensify-in-next-5years) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Is there an option for a negative expense?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-there-an-option-for-a-negative-expense) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [How can I cancel my account and stop being charged?
