**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2026

It summarizes everything and organizes it into categories using AI.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

The SSO portal to get in every few hours is annoying.

It’s getting me reimbursements by quickly taking a picture of receipt

**Official Response from Andrew Emge:**

> Hey Brendon, thanks for the review! Happy to hear you're saving time on reimbursements. The SSO re-authentication frequency is usually controlled by your company's IT settings, so your admin may be able to extend the session timeout if it's happening too often.

**Reviewed by:** Shirley T. | Regional Financial Controller, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

It was easy to use, and linked to Quickbooks

  ### 4. Helpful Expense Uploads, But a Clunky System with Inconsistent Features

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2026

  ### 5. Great for Expense Reports, but UI and Integrations Need a Refresh

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2026

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Ability to seamlessly create expense reports and helps break down line item expenses helps keep budget on track

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Old user interface needs to be refreshed. Integrations aren’t the greatest and needs more partners

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Expensive helps me track my expenses and automate my receipts when charging to a business credit card to submit for approval

**Official Response from Lindsey Peckham:**

> Thanks so much for your review. I'm glad to hear Expensify helps streamline your expense reporting process. I saw your comment about the Classic platform being outdated, and I'd welcome you to check out our new platform, New Expensify, to see all the developments we've made over there. Let us know what you think!

  ### 6. All Expenses in One Place, But Uploading Receipts Feels Tedious

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2026

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

It’s easy to get all expenses reported in one place

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

It’s tedious to upload every expense and get all sorred instead of simply uploading a spreadsheet and let the process run itself

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reporting expenses

**Official Response from Nick Tooker:**

> We are so sorry that you are finding receipt uploads to be so tedious! That's certainly not the intent of Expensify.  If you don't mind, please reach out to concierge@expensify.com for expedited assistance uploading your receipts. 

  ### 7. Effective for Expenses, But Needs More Flexibility and Faster Reimbursements

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2025

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Good for reimbursements and expense management.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

I think it is not flexible or advanced enough. For receipts, I had to manually enter the details. The reimbursement process took a lot of time. Sometimes even weeks.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps streamline expense management. In my role as a people manager, it is moderately useful. But probably for people in Finance and HR, it may be more useful.

**Official Response from Lindsey Peckham:**

> Hi there! Thank you for your review and feedback. I'd love to hear more about your experience, especially regarding the need to enter details manually, as Expensify strives to help you automate your entire expense management process. Please feel free to reach out to lindsey@expensify.com with any further details. I'd be happy to pass this along to the team to ensure our product can best serve you. 

  ### 8. Fine but not great

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Oona B. | Senior Accountant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2025

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

It emails you updates about your reports and the progress of them

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Not good for report, very manual and not user friendly

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking expense reports but only when submitted by employees

**Official Response from Shaelyn Combs:**

> Thank you for your feedback, Oona. We're happy to hear you're appreciating the email updates, but we'd love to help automate your reporting process a bit more! If you're open to it,  reach out to Concierge for help optimizing your setup. We're here to improve your experience!

  ### 9. Does Not Integrate Well With Quickbooks

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marietta C. | Director of Finance, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

The implementation specialist as well as the training were awesome!  We had tried Concur first, but the implementation as well as training were atrocious, so we bailed and moved to Expensify. What a refreshing difference!

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

It does not integrate well with Quickbooks.  Every week we have to ask our IT team to reboot everything, which means that everyone has to log out of Quickbooks, which is a real pain.  Also, whenever there is an update, all of our customizations disappear and we have to manually spend hours reentering all of our GL numbers and their descriptions.  We are looking for another solution.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It was taking us a TON of time tracking down AMX receipts for our 28 cardholders and then entering the information into Quickbooks.  Now the cardmembers upload their receipts to Expensify, which uploads the financial information into Quickbooks.   We are saving literally DAYS of work each month!  And our cardholders love the ease of submitting and coding AMX receipts.  It's a win win for both Finance as well as our managers.

**Official Response from Lindsey Peckham:**

> Thanks for your review, Marietta! We're so glad to hear Expensify has helped save you time with your credit card reconciliation and receipt tracking processes :) 

  ### 10. Easy to Use Credit Card Management - Beaware if you wish to discontinue/reduce users

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David B. | Business Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2022

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

It fills out most of the data itself, making it so quick to use.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

SmartScan can take a while for some receipts. Renews 12months at a time even though paying monthly. Won't let you out until the 12 months is up.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has allowed the users of the cards to do almost all of the data entry that flows all the way through to the accounting system.

**Official Response from Shaelyn Combs:**

> Hi David! Happy to hear Expensify is saving you some time. In regards to your subscription, we do offer monthly pay-per-use pricing! Check out the link provided to ensure you make any necessary changes once your annual subscription ends.



  ### 11. Not good enough

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marcelo P. | CFO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2024

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

The accesibility is good, and easy to use

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

The user interface from Expensify is not good at all.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's a really easy-to-use platform for the end user; you can integrate it with the ERP (XERO) and bank

**Official Response from Cheryl Walsh:**

> Hi there, thank you for your review, we take all feedback seriously. We're actually building a brand new app - New Expensify - which has an easy to use interface and more features. Stay tuned for the official release!

  ### 12. Expensify User: Some Ups / Some Downs

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brian G. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

The automation, the ability to group expenses by trips, its ability to sync with nearly every tool, and it looks more elegant than SAP Concur.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Lots of software bugs. Integration with Netsuite led to issues. The oddity of having to explain to users why they have an Enterprise and personal account. And all of the ads they force all users to read/receive spam on.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The ability to integrate expense tracking with Netsuite/Quickbooks. Workflow Automation.

**Official Response from Daniel Vidal:**

> Hey Brian, thanks for the respone! If you have any issues with the integration with NetSuite, please reach out to us so we can be sure to help!

  ### 13. Okay

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stephanie G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

I think it would work if you have single card users each having an account.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

It had trouble keeping up with Multiple credit cards. We had had one main account with mulitple cards and it wouldn't sync correctly.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We actually transferred to another Software to meet our needs.

**Official Response from James Dean:**

> Hey Stephanie - thanks so much for leaving an honest review. We'd love to give this another shot - do you mind reaching out to concierge@expensify.com with a quick explainer of the scenario? Thank you so much. 

  ### 14. Expensify is an easy to use expense management system

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nelson T. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

I like how easy it is to Expensify - the process of uploading receipts is straightforward, and the auto scan works (most of the time). In addition, Expensify allows you to see the reimbursement progress easily.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Expensify takes a long time to process reimbursement before actual payment. Reimbursements often take over 30 days to process, which adds significant hassle to everyone.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Expensify is an expense management software that streamlines the process of submitting expenses, getting reimbursements, and tracking expenses status. It also automates the approval process which makes my life a lot easier.

**Official Response from Matt Allen:**

> Hi Nelson, reimbursement via Expensify should only take a couple days, here's a breakdown https://community.expensify.com/discussion/6592/deep-dive-ach-reimbursement-timing. 
I recommend you check with your company about automating reimbursements because 30 days to get paid back is a long time. 

  ### 15. Quick and easy to submit expenses

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dylan S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 31, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Fairly straightforward process, pleasant UI, and definitely does the job when it comes to submitting expenses

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

When submitting an expense, you have to save it then open it back up then click "submit" which always confuses me because the submit button isn't it the most obvious spot.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

If an employee has an expense, they can submit it through expensify and get reimbursed by the company.

**Official Response from Rose Grech:**

> Dylan, thanks for your review and feedback. You could schedule submit so it's automatic. Reach out to Concierge for any assistance. 

  ### 16. Time suck

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Savannah W. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

It could scan receipts which helped ensure accuracy, and it was easy to figure out from a user's perspective. When I was an admin, I did not have to train many on how to upload an expense.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

The time it takes as both a user and an admin is not efficient at all. The workflows weren't super efficient and there wasn't a place to have the policies listed for easy access. Expenses would be submitted incorrectly and reimbursements would get caught up on a single approval.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are no longer using Expensify. Navan (formally TripActions) is meeting the business needs we needed most - reimbursements, purchase cards, booking travel, etc.

**Official Response from Rose Grech:**

> Wow Savannah sorry to hear about this unusual experience. Sounds like it would be an issue with your setup and configurations, we've seen this be an issue for others in the past. Please reach out to Concierge so someone can help you guys have a more efficient experience!

  ### 17. Expensify was easy to use, but not integrated for everything business

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Audrey R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

App to scan receipts, corporate cards, and all action items in one app is helpful. I enjoyed using it for other companies as well! I did trust it due to it being a well-recognized brand.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

If you were new to the company and didn't have the card or app, the process to approve was tedious. I had to email and add all receipts to a PDF, and this just added more time for accounting to process.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A way to get reimbursed for any expenses during travel, work approved functions. This helped for personal cards being reimbursed instead of using a corporate card.

**Official Response from Rose Grech:**

> Audrey, thanks for your review and feedback! Sounds like an odd experience as this tool is built to save time, please reach out the Concierge for any assistance. 

  ### 18. Convenient but UX could be improved

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Ability to forward receipts and have Expensify AI register my expenses

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Unable to upload multiple receipts in the same expense; requires me to use adobe to merge PDFs/receipts prior.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ease of submitting expenses and allows me to track and audit progress easily

**Official Response from Ryan Schaffer:**

> Thanks for the feedback! Your product request is on the product roadmap!

  ### 19. Did not work out well for us

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Megan A. | Finance Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

The site was easy to use and fairly intuitive.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

We were locked into a fixed term and could not cancel when we decided to stop using it. We felt that their customer service was not very responsive.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We had set it up to help with OOP reimbursements for employees, but it did not really fit our needs.

  ### 20. Expensify

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nupur M. | Assistant controller, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

easy to review receipts and submit expenses

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

it has some limitations when it comes to something like mileage

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

keeping track of all receipts and expenses

**Official Response from Matt Allen:**

> Hi Nupur, expect updates to mileage coming before too long! Happy we're working well for you for expenses

  ### 21. Good tool but limited corporate usage

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jehri R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Expensify is easy to use and to submit expenses.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

For corporations I think the functionality is limited.  It is a little cumbersome to get expense approval.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Expensify is an app to collect expenses so they can be submitted for approval and then reimbursement

**Official Response from Matt Allen:**

> Hi Jehri, Expensify is used by companies with thousands of employees and we integrate with all major accounting softwares.  We should have most-all the features you need.  If not, I recommend writing in to concierge@expensify.com as they might have answers and recommendations. 

  ### 22. Useful but complicated user interface

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2022

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Easy chain of approvals, and email notifications.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Even after multiple uses of the service, the UI is not user friendly and requires patience to finish a report.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A great way for an employer to reimburse funds to employees.

**Official Response from Daniel Vidal:**

> Thanks for the review, if you have any issue with UI in particular and want to let us know what they are so we can consider improvements, please reach out to concierge so we can consider them. Thank you for being a user! 

  ### 23. Good for reimbursements

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 30, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

It has a good interface. Easy to understand.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

I wish there were a page that teaches users about the platform with a personalized structure. For instance, our new hires don't know to who they should be submitting expenses.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reimbursements. It is a benefit, because our employees get their money back fast.

**Official Response from Rose Grech:**

> Thanks for your review and feedback. Please reach out to concierge@expensify.com for assistance!

  ### 24. Expensify to Navan Switch

Ability to submit receipts

**Official Response from Rose Grech:**

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vince S. | Environmental Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2023

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Ability to scan receipts and quick turn-around to reimbursement.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Does not let non-employees receive reimbursements. Expensify needs to work out a solution.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Makes reimbursements easy peasy! Quick, accurate and easy on the app.

**Official Response from Shaelyn Combs:**

> Hi Vince, thanks for the review! It sounds like our invoicing feature may be of interest to you - feel free to reach out to Concierge to learn more. 

  ### 26. Expensify was okay.

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Griffin G. | Senior Underwriter, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2022

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Expensify was serviceable there was nothing I overly enjoyed about using Expensify. I think the best thing I liked was their service time to reimburse.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

I found it difficult to submit expenses, and the interface was a bit more difficult to navigate. I spent more time than I would like to try and navigate the site and submit expenses.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I used Expensify solely to submit my expenses for the month. They did this problem for me; however, It was overly difficult and time-consuming.

**Official Response from Joanie Wang:**

> Sorry to hear we're not intuitive for you Griffin - please don't hesitate to email us at concierge@expensify.com if you have any questions. We're standing by to help!

  ### 27. Expensify Thoughts

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stefanie S. | Corporate Controller, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

The company has great values and its philanthropic mission is commendable.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Expensify wasn't very user-friendly for our team. They began to offer credit cards, but using an external credit card provide left the data entry to be very manual. We had been using the system for years, and it began to just have a negative association. It felt like a chore to our team and we needed to change systems and introduce something fresh to get folks engaged back into expense management.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Manual data entry may be a thing of the past now that Expensify is offering linkable credit cards.

  ### 28. Expensify is a bit tough to use

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2022

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

It has a lot of functionality and is well-known as a software. I like the fact that it has smart categories so there are lots of options to find out there. But it's too clunky.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

It's clunky and hard to follow. It's clear that the UI isn't built with the user in mind.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Good for filing expenses. Difficult to categorize and not clear on how to submit those expenses

  ### 29. Its pretty basic

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 01, 2022

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

I think if you are looking for a product that will get the job done, Expensify will fulfill your needs.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

It's a pretty basic program, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We switched from Expensify to Trip Actions because we are growing larger as a company and have more extensive needs

**Official Response from Nick Tooker:**

> Thank you for the feedback! We'd love to hear more about the bells and whistles you'd like to see in the future! 

  ### 30. A few too many steps to do simple tasks

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eric B. | Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2022

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

It is a comprehensive tool for all expensing needs. It gets the job done reasonable well, and so when my job started using it as an expense reimbursement tool, I was fine with switching.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

I don't like the UX flow for creating reports, I get confused using it often. I feel that there is too much context switching in the UI between making an expense/attaching a receipt, and then adding it to a report and submitting it.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have used it in my company for expense reporting - this has been the primary use case for Expensify at my company, and I think the benefits are clear in that it helps solve expense reporting.

  ### 31. A bit cumbersome expense tool

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

Expensify makes it easy to drop receipts while able to automatically extract amount information into expenses.
The ability to clone expenses can also come in handy for recurring billable work

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

I tried to import bulk invoices but the process is just too cumbersome, so I ended up wasting my time.
Automated receipt scanner has its own issues as it creates additional reports for the tip amount.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Expensify streamlines our expense process by providing a simple workflow to create expenses and organize them into reports. 
The tool notifies about reporting discrepancies and missing fields for users to correct. This makes the financial department job a bit easier by eliminating potential expense issues

**Official Response from Rose Grech:**

> Thanks for your review and sorry to hear about the card connection issue. Often times the bank feeds break on the bank's end. This is a big reason we came out with our own card with many benefits and it's free: https://use.expensify.com/company-credit-card

  ### 35. Gets the job done, just not the most user-friendly.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2022

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

There is a smart-scan feature that can read your receipts/invoices and upload the expense details. This can be a time-saver.

A lot of the time the smart-scan feature did not function properly, and I had to input all of my expense information manually. The manual input form was not laid out very seamlessly.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was able to expense meals, as well as technology and work from home budget expenses using Expensify.

**Official Response from T.J. Ferriss:**

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Veterinary | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2022

Gives us visibility into T&E spend
Replaces outdated, tedious T&E systems

  ### 37. Good product but expensive

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2022

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

The tool itself gets the job done - fairly intuitive and has the right data fields to manage expenses

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

There are a lot of other options out there these days - their pricing is not reflective of the competitive landscape

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Basic expense reporting, review, and reimbursement for a 500+ person company.  It gets the job done and is easy to use.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Thanks to this app is super easy for employees to keep track as you can take photos and add the expense super easily from your phone.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

It is confusing because they use a lot of icons. Makes it hard to realize what is what at first.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I just do this for my expenses and reimbursement purposes only.

  ### 42. Expensify: software works Ok but I do not like to receive political email from their CEO

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2021

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

The android app is well designed, and it saves you time

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Sometimes the connection with the CC accounts is not working, and you need to refresh manually. Sometimes you need to reset them.


I wouldn't say I like to receive political emails from their CEO. It is very unprofessional. I do not need to know about his political views.

**Recommendations to others considering Expensify:**

It is a basic tool, and it is not expensive. Nice for a small company

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is a standard tool for traveling expenses with all the advantages typical of this kind of tool

  ### 43. Expensify for small business

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2021

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Report management workflow is easy to follow

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Receipt scanning can often take too long

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using Expensify to get expenses reimbursed. I have benefited by being able to do so efficiently

  ### 44. Expesify sufficient

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2022

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

I got reimbursed eventually.  It was an ok/adequate system

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Not as intuitive as I would have liked it to be.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

All I used Expensify for was to file for expense reimbursements

  ### 45. Works ok overall

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2021

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

I use it to track mileage. It's fairly easy overall.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Sometimes the cost per mile calculation is wrong.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use this program for tracking mileage for my company.n

  ### 46. Expensify is okay

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2020

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Relatively easy to use - gets the job done.  Expensify offers receipt and mileage tracking, expense reporting, and company card reconciliation – all seamlessly integrated with QuickBooks. This saves a a lot of time. But this is the only part of the app that saves time. The software is inherently flawed.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Somehow linked to my venmo so it’s a mess. SmartScan is terrible. It takes hours, or days. I can enter things manually faster. If they can’t scan something faster than I can enter the info, they should just give up, put up a message that says, “Why don’t you just tell me what the amount was?”. The other day I couldn’t submit a report because an image was still scanning. The software is so inconsistant that I can’t even set up a repeatable demo to file a bug report.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Getting lunch reimbursed

  ### 47. A good expense tool but not the best

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Ability to submit company expenses to HR without needing to contact HR directly.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

It's not the easiest tool to use and understand. You need to create the expense, then add it to a report, and submit the report.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Facilitating the submission process to HR

  ### 48. Expensify Review

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yanina B. | Property Manager , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2020

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

I like the mobile app and the ability to upload the receipts by taking a photo with the phone.

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

I do not like that the software is not intuitive - I do not like that there are to many steps to get the report submitted. When you complete a report you have to first fill out all the information about the expense and (instead of being able to click submit and just be done) you need to go into a separate tab to first create a report, then attach the expense information, and then submit it in order for it to get processed and that particular step is not clear so if you do not know that you have to separately submit the report for reimbursement it shows that the report is complete but that is not an indication that you are done and you still need to take the extra steps.
I also don't like that it takes time from the time that you charge something to your card for the information to actually appear as an expense on your Expensify ledger. It would have been better if the expenses were to appear immediately or at least on that same day.

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The benefit is that it organizes and helps you keep track of your business spending and submit to accounting for reimbursement

  ### 49. Nice start, could be much better, reimbursement time is unacceptable

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2020

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

connection to credit card and some automation on classification when software feels like it

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

if you connect a credit card, it does not match scanned receipts, AI it totally JV, barely reliable, I still have to do tons of work to get an expense complete. 7-10 wait time to get reimbursed is a total sham, clearly they only make money floating other peoples money.

**Recommendations to others considering Expensify:**

hire a virtual assistant

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

compared to other options, some speed over other expense reimbursements providers

  ### 50. Pretty good - and I like that it's modern

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Katy M. | Technology Chief of Staff, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2019

**What do you like best about Expensify?**

Tracking expenses is a pain, but Expensify makes it so much easier. I like that it's intuitive, has smart scan technology, and makes the submission process easy. I also like that I can easily see past expenses and go through my history. I like the mobile app too! So easy and quick to submit an expense from my phone when I'm on the go. 

**What do you dislike about Expensify?**

Ah, there are some down-sides. One, the smart scan technology is not super reliable. Two, I set up my expenses to auto-submit on a certain day of the week, and I had an impossible time trying to figure out how to turn that feature off. Three, I wish that there was a way to scan a receipt and figure out if it matches something that has already been submitted. 

**Recommendations to others considering Expensify:**

I would say that if your company is tired of using spreadsheets, use Expensify. The mobile app is a life saver, truly. 

**What problems is Expensify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our company uses Expensify to track meal expenses, travel expenses, and make sure that everyone in the company is on the same page.
