"Promising Features, Frustrating Execution"
0/5
What do you like best about Expensify?

The pricing was competitive compared to other expense management platforms we evaluated, and the team was consistently responsive when issues were raised. Unfortunately, responsiveness did not translate into resolution, but I did appreciate that our account manger and sales team were engaged through the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Expensify?

We purchased Expensify to help manage corporate card expenses across our organization. Unfortunately, after five months, we were never able to get the platform working reliably enough to use it for our reporting process.

The biggest issues were card connections that repeatedly disconnected, reporting workflows that created individual reports for transactions instead of consolidated reports, and missing transactions that appeared sporadically across different cards. These weren't one-time issues—they persisted through multiple months and multiple rounds of troubleshooting.

Support was also disappointing. Most interactions resulted in another ticket being submitted, while their sales team continued encouraging us to connect additional accounts despite the ongoing problems. We frequently found ourselves troubleshooting the platform rather than actually using it.

After months of unresolved issues, we decided to cancel the service. We were encouraged to continue testing the platform and offered additional trial periods while the issues were investigated. However, when we ultimately moved forward with cancellation, we discovered we were locked into a 12-month commitment and would be required to continue paying despite the fact that the service had never functioned reliably for our needs.

Software issues happen, and I understand that no platform is perfect. My frustration comes from spending five months trying to make the product work, never reaching a usable solution, and still being obligated to pay for the remainder of the contract.

I genuinely wanted Expensify to succeed for our organization, but our experience was defined by unresolved technical issues, ineffective support, and a disappointing cancellation process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Expense reporting without the friction"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nick Tooker of Expensify

Thanks for the review, Cliff! We love that you are enjoying frictionless expense reporting.

"Effortless Expense Management with Expensify"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Expensify?

I don’t dislike anything at all—I love the app, and I have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Expensify: Unmatched Value with Smart AI Receipt Scanning"
4.5/5
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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Press Expensify of 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.

"A smarter way to handle work travel expenses!"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Expensify?

no dislikes, just pure problem solver the platform is for me. Just love it every time i use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"​A Must-Have Tool for Agency Leaders and Mobile Professionals"
5/5
What do you like best about Expensify?

Expensify is an incredibly seamless and robust platform that has fundamentally streamlined how I handle expenses, both for myself and my team. As someone who frequently travels for enterprise client discovery sessions, personal expense reporting used to be a tedious administrative chore. With Expensify, capturing receipts and logging travel expenses on the go is completely frictionless, allowing me to stay focused on client strategy instead of paperwork.

Equally impressive is how well it functions for team management. Overseeing my team's spend is highly intuitive. The approval workflows provide clear visibility and control without being bogged down by clunky interfaces or manual spreadsheets. It bridges the gap perfectly—delivering an effortless experience for the individual user while providing the robust oversight necessary for managing agency operations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Expensify?

While the day-to-day user experience is excellent, scaling the platform within a highly complex enterprise ecosystem can sometimes reveal friction points. For example, syncing Expensify with deeply customized legacy ERP systems occasionally requires more technical heavy lifting and troubleshooting than you might expect from an otherwise agile tool.

Furthermore, the customer support model can be a bottleneck at times. Their heavy reliance on chat-based or community-driven support isn't always ideal for fast-paced agency operations. When dealing with a complex approval routing issue or an urgent integration question for the team, lacking a direct line to a dedicated account manager or immediate technical support can slow down our internal workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ryan Schaffer of Expensify

Thanks for the review, Sean. Your company _should_ have an account manager you can contact to help with any issues that arise. Can you message me on LinkedIn and I will investigate and make sure your account manager is aware of any issue you may be experiencing?

"Simple App That Auto-Uploads Receipts for Effortless Reporting"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Press Expensify of Expensify

Hey Megan, thank you for the kind words! So glad the automatic receipt uploads are saving you from the paper receipt chaos, that's the dream! That's also really helpful feedback on the draft status confusion; I'll make sure to pass that along to the team. Thanks again! Catherine

"Expensify is organized and easy to use"
5/5
What do you like best about Expensify?

Expensify has automations to scan receipts from mobile pictures/the app, and allows you to simply forward a receipt via email to receipts@expensify.com and starts making it into an expense/adds it to your most recent open report. It even allows you to to pull in your credit card information automatically if that's something you're into (personally I don't use that feature but I could see it being helpful). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Expensify?

Expensify could save some presets that you use, like I always need to add the same tag to my expenses and I'd love for that to be a default functionality. Also could allow me to configure some mapping, like food receipts always go to the same category, etc, save some regularly used descriptions, etc. It seems like the category detection isn't consistent. I've also had some issues with the receipt scanning reading numbers wrong either for dates or amounts which then adds flags/alerts for my reviewers that make it seem like I am putting the wrong amount in.

Response from Matt Allen of Expensify

Hi, thanks for the review. Take a look at setting up expense rules to help streamline the process even more.

"Intuitive Expense Management with Seamless Setup"
5/5
What do you like best about Expensify?

I find Expensify very intuitive and love the fantastic receipt matching and workflow creation. It significantly reduces the time I spend creating expense reports. It also makes booking flights easy by keeping credit card and frequent flier information organized. The automatic receipt matching saves me hours of manually searching for matches, which I had to do in Concur. The workflows and rules automate recurring expenses, so I don't have to reinput information each month. Having all flights managed in one spot is a big help. The initial setup was extremely easy and fast for our whole organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Expensify?

It would be helpful to have the automatic report creation be an option that can be turned on and off because we just submit one report every two weeks instead of multiple reports, but it's minor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Andrew Emge of Expensify

Hey there, thank you for the review! Glad the receipt matching and workflows have been saving you time compared to Concur. For the automatic report creation, a Workspace Admin can head to Workspaces > Workflows > Submissions to turn it off or adjust the frequency. The help site (link below) has more details, or feel free to send further questions to concierge@expensify.com.

"Effortless Travel Reimbursement Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Expensify?

I use Expensify for managing my reimbursements for travel at work, and it makes it easy to keep track of receipts, such as Ubers, as it connects directly with the app. I really liked using the feature where you can submit receipts by texting a phone number and it auto fills in fields like dates, the name of the place, and the amount in the correct currency from the receipt. I also like the ability to split bills between different teammates as sometimes only one bill is provided. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Expensify?

I'd like to make it even easier to just drag and drop images of various formats into the portal rather than having to convert them to a specific format and then text them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lindsey Peckham of Expensify

Hey Ambika, thank you for your review and feedback! So glad to hear you're loving Expensify. Which file format are you unable to drag and drop into Expensify? If you're using New Expensify, we allow most file types to be uploaded as receipt images. I'd love to pass along any feedback to the team if you think we're missing one, so we can work on adding it. Thanks again!
