Excited about the functionality, bugged by the user interface **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alexandra L. | Interim Executive Director, Venture Capital & Private Equity, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2018 **What do you like best about Shoeboxed?** The ease of uploading receipts, the ability to categorize expenses, the east to approving and paying on the backend **What do you dislike about Shoeboxed?** The new interface is WEIRD, everything is SO big, and the functionality seems to be buggy -- for instance, if I try to edit a receipt on the web version, I can do that but there is no way to save those changes. It's also hard to really tell if you've been paid for everything -- the numbers as submitted, approved, paid, always seem to be off. **What problems is Shoeboxed solving and how is that benefiting you?** Expense management, it's been easier for us to pull reports and saves employees time ### 2.

Would rather get a weekly spreadsheet of expenses **What problems is Shoeboxed solving and how is that benefiting you?** To early to tell but one thing I do know is it is better than a paper ledger ### 3. Saving Trees and Less Missing Receipt Forms **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Shoeboxed?** I can take a picture and turn in my receipt immediately - no throwing it my purse and hoping I remember to turn it into the office! It makes life so much easier. **What do you dislike about Shoeboxed?** I dislike that the reimburse button is always auto selected. For my company, we have company cards and are not reimbursed. Remembering to always switch that field is a pain. **What problems is Shoeboxed solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's a short cut. We are more precise with out expenses and can manage them in a more organized manner. ### 4.

Very useful low cost expense management **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Shoeboxed?** I work at a university. Our workflow has been based on paper receipts. Fetch is a low cost tool for digitizing receipts. It does not integrate with our university system but that's ok. It gets the job done. **What do you dislike about Shoeboxed?** The image capture interface was a little confusing. I lost some of my images the first time I used it. **What problems is Shoeboxed solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simplifying the expense workflow for my team and me. ### 7. Frequent traveler, new user **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2018 **What do you like best about Shoeboxed?** that fetch captures images of receipts - no more taping receipts to a piece of paper and making copies! **What do you dislike about Shoeboxed?** The frequently used options don't autofill as easily as I'd like **Recommendations to others considering Shoeboxed:** Give it a try! **What problems is Shoeboxed solving and how is that benefiting you?** Much faster submission of expense reports. ### 8.

Quick and easy solution **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospitality | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 26, 2016 **What do you like best about Shoeboxed?** Shoeboxed is extremely convenient and cost effective. By taking quick pictures of my receipts as I get them when on work travel I have reduced the paper clutter I am carrying with me and improved my efficiency. **What do you dislike about Shoeboxed?** The accuracy of the data input is not always perfect. Sometimes it seems to me that whoever is reading and inputting the image is not making much of an effort (e.g. to find the total or include a tip in the total etc.) **Recommendations to others considering Shoeboxed:** For larger organizations Concur or others may be easier to integrate. **What problems is Shoeboxed solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am improving record keeping for deductible expenses as well as improving efficiency since I don't waste as much time managing receipts. ### 10. A service that has actually improved my quality of life **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 09, 2016 **What do you like best about Shoeboxed?** Receipts, business cards, and docs go in the envelopes. I throw the envelope in a mailbox. They appear in the cloud. I now have a database of all of the docs that would have sat in various places around my home and office. Can't beat it. **What do you dislike about Shoeboxed?** Features: Price is a little high, IMHO. Search and tagging aren't as great as I would want - there's a lot of manual tagging I do myself. Tough to use for both business and personal, but I've made up my own system. UI not super intuitive. Service: Now that I am so reliant on Shoeboxed I fear what would happen if I ever stopped using them or they ceased to exist. (Hoping if that time ever came there are/would be options for export). I also worry about the Magic Envelopes getting lost in the mail with my important docs in them (not a problem dislike of Shoeboxed per se, just a negative risk associated with using this type of service in general). **Recommendations to others considering Shoeboxed:** There is no better comparable product out there. **What problems is Shoeboxed solving and how is that benefiting you?** Peace of mind for me, my family, and my business. Everything is searchable and I'm not sitting on years and years of documents, receipts, and business card that I may never need (but know I can easily reference if I ever do!) ### 11. Great for people with an overwhelming amount of expenses **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jess M. | Account Supervisor, Public Relations and Communications, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2015 **What do you like best about Shoeboxed?** If you're looking for an easy way to organize the seemingly millions of receipts you accumulate while traveling for business, Shoeboxed is a great solution for your problems. It's super easy to use and the receipts are processed pretty quickly. You can then export your report and it will show the purchase price, the vendor and even the date. The mobile app makes it easy to enter your receipts while you're on a business trip and then you don't have to worry about losing them along the way. They're saved in your phone and aren't taking up space in your photo folders. **What do you dislike about Shoeboxed?** The more documents you or your business need to submit monthly, the higher the priced plan you’ll need. The free plan is pretty limiting with the amount that you can submit so it makes it difficult to use it unless your business really wants to invest in the platform. I found that some of the vendors weren't recognized when they went through processing even though they were listed on the receipt. **Recommendations to others considering Shoeboxed:** Try out the free version first. It will help you work out any kinks and allow you to test out the features before adopting a paid plan. **What problems is Shoeboxed solving and how is that benefiting you?** This makes tracking and reporting expenses so much easier than scanning them and manually entering the data into a spreadsheet to send to our accountant. It saves me time and takes the headache out of the process. I just wish the free plan had more flexibility with the number of receipts you can submit on a monthly basis. - [View Shoeboxed pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/shoeboxed/reviews?filters%5Bnps_score%5D%5B%5D=4§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-14+00%3A42%3A02+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=8f5db1fe-b685-4030-ba13-e6bd4936138b&secure%5Btoken%5D=d2ebdf61b13e29a4ee1ca44f6088f7ccae71bc404d265acef36e4df0ce950c1c&format=llm_user) ## Shoeboxed Features **Expense Reports** - Ease of Creating Expense Reports - Bank / Credit Card Integration - Smart Categorization - Digital Receipt Management - Employee Reimbursement - Corporate Card - Credit Card Management **Agentic AI - Accounting & Finance** - Autonomous Task Execution **Agentic AI - Expense Management** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration **Travel Management** - Advanced Integrations - Online Booking - Credit Card Management - Booking Management - User Management - Restriction Management - Reservations Management - Reimbursement Management - Vendor Management - Travel Management - Promotions Management - Workflow Management - Receipt Management - Supplier Management - Compliance Management - Policy Management - Invoice Management - Real-Time Notifications - Third-Party Integrations - Timesheet Management - Invoice Management - Reimbursement Management - Real-Time Notifications **Client Invoicing** - Project Accounting / Revenue Recognition - Biometric Recognition - Optical Character Recognition **Generative AI - Expense Management** - Image-to-Text - Text Generation - Text Summarization **Additional Functionality** - Audit Trail - Secure Data Storage - AI Copilot - Approval Process Control - Data Import/Export - Duplicate Detection - Expense Claims - Budgeting/Forecasting - Customizable Fields - Spend Control - Customizable Templates - Access Controls/Permissions - Reporting & Statistics - Automated Receipt Matching - Mobile Receipt Upload - Billable & Non-Billable Hours - Financial Analysis - Categorization/Grouping - Single Sign On - Activity Dashboard **Mobile** - Receipt Capture - Mileage Tracking - Expense Tracking - Real-Time Updates **Platform** - Complex Approval Workflow - Generative AI **Administration** - PCI Regulation Compliant **Administration** - Business Tool Integration - Workflow - Automated Reminders - Policy Compliance Management - User, Role, and Access Management - Timesheet Management - Payroll Management - Employee Management - Invoice Management - Calendar Management - Workflow Management - Task Management - Mobile Access - Mobile Access - Workflow Management - Compliance Management **Platform** - Reporting - APIs / Integration - Internationalization - Performance and Reliability - Mobile User Support - Accounting Integration - QuickBooks Integration - Real-Time Reporting - Third-Party Integrations - Payroll Integration - Accounting Integration ## Top Shoeboxed Alternatives - [Expensify](https://www.g2.com/products/expensify/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (5,662 reviews) - [Dext](https://www.g2.com/products/dext/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (299 reviews) - [Zoho Expense](https://www.g2.com/products/zoho-expense/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (1,520 reviews)
