I’m mostly satisfied with Zoho expenses. It integrate well with Zoho books and their autoscan feature while not perfect does help a lot managing receipts.

Pros

Very simple to use, usable auto-scan, integrates with Zoho books nicely.

Cons

Auto-scan can get things wrong and will add currency selections you don’t need which makes the process go slower than it should.

Great Tool - Great Support!

Zoho expense is a great tool and comes with great support.

Zoho expense is a great tool and comes with great support.

Pros

Their tool seems very intuitive for users and admins.
I really appreciate how they have multiple ways to send expenses to the system (email, auto-scan, and manual upload)
They also have extremely fast support response time!

Cons

The only downsides I've seen so far is that they had a feature for Point to Point Mileage tracking by putting in your start and end points to determine miles, but I was told by support that this feature only exists on iOS (this should be disclosed somewhere on their site, but it is not).

Alternatives Considered

Fyle

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Expense

Huge price jump by Certify. Their pricing model is based on $/expense report whereas Zoho Expense is a $/user which works so much better for us.

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Expense

The pricing structure made the most sense. We didn't do a trial of Fyle, just compared features.

It was great at first offering a great value but know we are force to look for a new option

Pros

In the past it was easy to match things up now it take longer than if you were to photocopy and do an excel report

Cons

It keeps getting harder to use with every upgrade. Top enter an expense know you have to go to three different screen to match them up and most of the time you manually have to match them up which takes even longer. The worst part is they can even correctly do their own receipt

Excellent! I am terrible at keeping up with mileage on my own. Zoho Expense helped me tremendously with all the professional features at a great price!

Pros

I used it as an individual sales person. It helped me track mileage and stay more organized.

Cons

I only wanted to use the app for this function. Offered a lot of additional options that I did not need.
