Zoho Expense
Zoho Expense is expense and travel software with paid plans from $3 per user a month billed yearly. Standard adds corporate card feeds, multiple policies, direct bank reimbursements and single sign-on to a free plan that already scans receipts, tracks mileage by GPS and syncs to accounting.
Ramp
Ramp is a corporate card and expense management platform: the receipt is captured when the card is swiped, employees finish expenses by SMS, Slack or Microsoft Teams, and a policy agent reviews every expense before transactions sync to the ERP. Reimbursements reach more than 70 countries in local currency.
BILL Spend & Expense
BILL Spend & Expense, formerly Divvy, is a card-first expense tool for small and mid-size businesses: physical and virtual cards carry their limits and rules, and receipts are matched automatically. AI codes the accounting fields, and mileage and out-of-pocket reimbursements are tracked against budgets.
Expensify
Expensify is expense management software built around fast receipt capture: SmartScan reads a photo or forwarded email, Concierge AI categorizes the expense and flags policy breaks, and approved reports sync to accounting.
Brex
Brex is a corporate card and spend platform whose expense management works at the moment of purchase: AI generates the receipt, memo and attendees, the policy is applied to every transaction, in-policy spend is auto-approved and managers review only flagged items by Slack or SMS.
