Capturing receipts, submitting expenses, and getting approvals is quick and straightforward. The receipt scanning and automation features save a lot of time and reduce manual work. > > **Cons**: Cons: At times, receipt scanning doesn’t pick up all details correctly, so minor manual edits are needed. It would also be helpful to have more advanced reporting and filtering options. > > Overall experience: Overall, Expensify has made expense management much more efficient for our team. It has reduced paperwork, sped up reimbursements, and improved visibility over spending, making the whole process smoother and more organised. ----- ### "Simple and easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Varun** | *10 August 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to navigate and use. Simple and intuitive interface with easy navigation. No downtime observed. Cloud based and can be accessed from anywhere > > **Cons**: No cons observed till now. Only thing I observed was the new version was not as appealing as the old one so I continued to use the old version > > Overall I am satisfied with my experience of using Expensify and all my requirements have been met with no issues observed ----- ### "Great Experience" — 5.0/5 > **Kathy** | *25 September 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Utilizing Expensify facilitates the straightforward uploading of receipts, consistently provides accurate categorization, enables convenient retrieval of receipts when necessary, and offers user-friendly reporting functionality. > > **Cons**: I must acknowledge that Expensify presents no significant drawbacks worthy of mention; the platform demonstrates considerable user-friendliness and accessibility. > > My overall experience has been excellent, and I would recommend this service to anyone. The platform is user-friendly, and I find it particularly convenient to upload files directly from my cellular device, which streamlines the process considerably. ----- ### "Shady Billing Practices" — 1.0/5 > **Nathan** | *13 March 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Expensify has some useful features for tracking expenses, making it convenient for managing receipts and reports. When it works, it can be a helpful tool for organizing spending. However, that convenience is completely overshadowed by their terrible billing practices and lack of customer support. > > **Cons**: I've had recurring, shady issues with Expensify’s billing system, and after my latest experience, I can’t recommend this platform. I never canceled my personal subscription, yet it was automatically canceled due to a failed credit card charge—without any notification that my card had declined. Somehow, my new credit card (which I never manually updated) was mysteriously applied to a Group account I never created or authorized—and I started getting charged $10/month for it. Expensify’s billing system is confusing, opaque, and borderline deceptive. There was no email or notification when my new card was added, no transparency about how this happened, and no easy way to fix it. Given that I travel frequently, I expect clear, upfront billing—instead, I keep running into unauthorized charges and a lack of accountability. If you’re considering Expensify, be extremely cautious about their billing practices. They make it way too easy for unexplained charges to show up, and their lack of transparency is concerning. I highly recommend looking for a more reliable alternative. 🚨 ----- ### "Great for Expense Recordkeeping and Budgeting" — 5.0/5 > **Bob** | *11 August 2026* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use---generates reports at the end of the year or when I need them. It also keeps an accurate record of what I'm spending day to day. Plus it keeps the reports for each month indefinitely within the program, so I can go back to compare expenses from previous years for particular expense categories. > > **Cons**: I don't really have anything bad to say about Expensify. It has definitely filled my financial organizational needs and has kept me on track since I began using it. > > As a small business owner, I’ve been using Expensify for about 10 years. It did wonders for organizing my expenses, so important when operating a one-person business. The program not only helped me identify my monthly expenses, not only for my business but also for my personal ones as well, but also was a godsend when tax time rolled around. I was able to generate reports for every expense category which allowed me to obtain my annual expenses for each one. By inserting expenses into Expensify as I made or paid them, I didn’t have to root around for receipts before filling out my tax returns. I highly recommend this program for anyone who needs to organize their spending and keep on budget. ----- Page: 1 / 57\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/97594/expensify?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/97594/expensify) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
