Expensify comes at spend management from the expense report side, and it is still one of the cheapest ways to get card and reimbursement control. The free Submit plan lets any employee scan receipts, track mileage and build expense reports. Collect at $5 per member per month adds reimbursements, corporate card management, expense and travel approvals, travel booking with rules and QuickBooks Online or Xero sync. Control, custom priced from $9 per active member, adds multiple approval flows, custom expense rules, NetSuite and Sage Intacct, Workday integration, SSO and budgeting. The Expensify Card offers Smart Limits, virtual cards and 1% cash back on US purchases, rising to 2% for monthly spend over $250K. Bill scanning and automated payments cover simple payables. What it does not list is purchase requests or purchase orders, so teams that need purchasing approvals before a vendor is paid will want Ramp, Payhawk or Precoro instead.

Who it is for
