How to choose

Compare the plan and its price

Check whether a free plan is available, whether there is a free trial, and what the paid plan costs. A free plan and a free trial are different: a trial gives temporary access, while a free plan has no stated end date.

Pricing can be per user, monthly, annual, or available on request. For example, Airwallex Expense Management lists a free plan and paid pricing from $12 per user per month; Expensify lists a free plan, paid pricing from $5 per month, and a 30-day trial.

Match spending features to your process

Compare receipt capture, employee reimbursements, corporate cards, approval workflows and mileage tracking. Consider which of these your team needs, and check the product details before choosing.

Approval workflows can matter when spending needs review. Accounting integrations are also worth checking if expense records need to connect to the accounting tools you already use.

Check devices and connections

Review the platform marks against the devices your staff use. The board covers iOS, Android, web, Windows, browser extensions and API availability.

A public API is a way for software to exchange information with other services. Check whether the connections you need are available; a platform mark alone does not confirm a particular integration.

Use a trial to check the fit

If a trial is offered, use it to check the steps your team would follow for receipts, approvals and reimbursements. If you need to read or change the code, check the tool’s open-source mark and licence.

Questions

What should I compare in expense management software?

Compare plans and prices, receipt capture, reimbursements, corporate cards, approval workflows, accounting integrations, mobile apps and mileage tracking.

Does a free plan mean the same thing as a free trial?

No. A free plan is an ongoing plan with no stated end date; a trial gives temporary access. Check the listed pricing details for terms.

How do I check whether a tool connects to my accounting software?

Look at the accounting integrations the maker lists and confirm that they include the service you use. An API mark does not guarantee a specific connection.

What does the API mark mean?

It indicates that a public API is listed. An API lets software exchange information with other services; check the maker’s details for the connections and functions available.

What does an open-source mark tell me?

It indicates that open-source code is listed. If you need to use or change that code, check the tool’s licence for its terms.
