BILL Spend & Expense
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
BILL Spend & Expense was one of the more affordable options, very user friendly and very good for creating easy ways to pay through BILL Spend & Expense or to assign budgets through BILL Spend & Expense. Some of the other options did offer more features but we did not normally …
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
Bill Spend & Expense and Ramp are pretty comparable, but we ended up making the change to Ramp based on three factors:
1. The actual receipt or invoice uploads into Sage Intacct, so when reviewing financials, everything is in one place.
2. The cashback program was much simpler …
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
We also used other credit cards for employee to use, such as bank issued credit card or Capital One issued credit card, so far Divvy Card is the best one. Users have very positive using experience. Accounting is also happy with this card since it is easy to manage and control …
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
Have not compared or used other systems.
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
We used Expensify previously and strongly prefer BILL. Expensify had no fraud protection, it was almost impossible to speak with a customer service rep, and the reconciliation process was tedious and clunky.
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
I haven't used anything like Divvy before.
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
Divvy was much more affordable (free) compared to Concur. It has all the functionally as Concur with a free, alternative solution. We selected Divvy because it helped us achieve three things; capture receipts, allow users to spend within their budgets, and set budgets to …
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
Chase One Card Program

This program is like Divvy's program but it is not user-friendly and is not easy-to-use software. It is very easy to make mistakes and break the system. Divvy is a much more superior product, and I would highly recommend it to anyone especially to advise …
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
We haven't evaluated any other products.
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
We have used American Express and BOA and while they both give you the standard use of a credit card, neither one allows you to do all the things that Divvy does. Virtual cards, budget increases, categorization, receipt maintenance. Divvy is the only one we have tried of this …
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
We also researched other paid products (e.g. SAP Concur) and Divvy is far and beyond a better UI with all necessary features while they continue to improve and build out other fancy features.
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
Divvy is the provider of the credit cards. Expensify and Concur only connects your outside cards to their system.
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
There is no comparison to how easy Divvy is vs any other way of expense reporting because Divvy is real-time.
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
Nothing out there compares to the agility and ease of use of Divvy. Adoption by those most resistant to any expense reporting tool has always been the #1 painpoint to all other such software.

Divvy takes the pain away even for creatives and salespeople!
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
We have really only used PNC's business credit cards. Their system was strange and they were not very helpful when we had issues.
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
We used to use our bank corporate cards which are antiquated compared to Bill S&E.
Visa Spend Clarity
Chose Visa Spend Clarity
Visa Spend Clarity is the worst.
Chose Visa Spend Clarity
It is mostly focused on virtual visa operations. In general, all cash flow controlling suits easily can start from Excel or Google Colab integrations and evolve even to Sungard or WSS. It depends. Visa Spend Clarity is about your flexibility "to have your own bank in a pocket" …
Chose Visa Spend Clarity
We found the results and returns with the Visa Spend Clarity were more positive than some other platforms. After researching competitors like, Data Card Wizard and AirWallex, we found the ease and comfort for our customers was more beneficial by using the Visa Spend Clarity …

Divvy is well suited for almost any organization/business I can think of. If you need to spend money from a specific predetermined budget, Divvy works great. If you have a high volume of transactions and you're fairly decent with excel, you can create an upload file to move transactions into your general ledger (currently only QB is supported for plug ins). If I'm really trying to find a less appropriate example, maybe if you have employees who can have a large credit limit and need to travel a lot, an Amex card might have better benefits.

To find the expenses which need receipts linked, one has to unnecessarily navigate and use two-levels of drop-down menus to filter, when this should be the first thing a user sees when logging in. Logging in requires 2-step-authorization nearly every time. When going to link receipts and update GL codes, one has to click on three different links just to get to view a transaction and available receipts, then wade through receipts that any basic OCR program should have already recognized and linked automatically. For less-obvious PDF receipts there is no quick viewer, every pdf must be redownloaded to view. When a receipt is linked and a GL code is updated the UI doesn't accept it automatically and move on, no...you have to click another link to complete the transaction, though if you click the 'Complete' link and try to move on it gives you an error message and asks if you'd like to delete the transaction, instead you have to go back and hit 'Update' after you've already made the changes, then it allows you to go to the next expense in the list. Absolutely ridiculous and this doesn't even touch on how bad the mobile app is.

Cons
  • Logging into more than one company or ease of logging into more than one company at a time.

  • Focused on virtual visa limits, some locations may need real card connected.
  • Limit per card and period - once reached and notified would be great to have extra 10% from the funding account added. Cause there may be FX differences or the person is in travel in a different time zone for calling to manually add balance by admin.
  • Admin account must assign names of categories only (unified for all users).
  • Invoicing tool - if user spend not properly to send a payback request.
  • Core services integration: Booking, Uber, Trip Advisor, AirBNB, Flow, GoodRX.
  • Loan request from a user to funding account: he may need to cover some uncovered by agreement costs - set request, set a return date.
  • Business reports at Admin or Funding account level to see helicopter picture as it is for a period even prior kept records to books or exported to CSV to process.

Usability
The Divvy card provides convenience and flexibility for Finance to manage and monitor each user's transactions at any time. User can issue many virtual cards for different purposes. Transactions can be easily approved. Since we can monitor transaction closely, fraud can be prevented effectively. Mobile app is user friendly and safe.

Support Rating
We have enjoyed using Divvy and its functions. The Divvy team has been great, and their support team is outstanding. They have a chatbox on the platform, and they only seem to be someone on call. I have found its benefits to be outstanding, that I recommend it to my clients. I also feel that Divvy rolling out new features only makes it more compelling to stay on as a user.

Alternatives Considered
Bill Spend & Expense and Ramp are pretty comparable, but we ended up making the change to Ramp based on three factors: 1. The actual receipt or invoice uploads into Sage Intacct, so when reviewing financials, everything is in one place. 2. The cashback program was much simpler and a higher rate than what we were getting. 3. We were bringing our A/P processing into a cloud solution, and wanted to be able to have them on the same one as our credit cards. This fact, combined with point 1, and just a slightly different payment flexibility, made the difference for us. Leaving out those points, which might not matter as much to someone else in a different situation, Bill Spend and Expense is a solid solution for anyone.

It is mostly focused on virtual visa operations. In general, all cash flow controlling suits easily can start from Excel or Google Colab integrations and evolve even to Sungard or WSS. It depends. Visa Spend Clarity is about your flexibility "to have your own bank in a pocket" - open sub-accounts, set limits, and reconcile costs actually made by your contractors or employees. We should see it wider and include Uber, Booking, Airbnb, and Flow interactions to make it a really fast process for your contractor from your "Yes" to contractor "Done". The Visa Spend Clarity is not exactly about your money (costs). It is more about your ability to start acting faster even if all details of cooperation with a person are not agreed upon, but as soon as possible, discuss critical details or add maneuver to your decision-making while limiting financial risk with reasonable limits.

Return on Investment
  • Immediate ROI for any company who wants their teams to focus on driving new revenues, creating great products or over delivering to customers - instead of chasing receipts 30 days behind.
  • Ease of use and a great sales and tech support team at Divvy ensure successful onboarding with each and every employee.
  • Immediate ROI from being able to have an agile budgeting process - cashflows improve immediately when budget spend is captured in real-time, and new opportunities are captured when approvals are that easy.

  • Some possible positive impacts of Visa Spend Clarity include increased transparency of spending habits, more effective budgeting and money management, and improved overall financial health. Additionally, Visa Spend Clarity may also lead to more strategic and informed decision-making when it comes to using credit.
  • On the other hand, some possible negative impacts of Visa Spend Clarity include feelings of anxiety or guilt associated with credit card spending, as well as the potential for overspending if users are not careful.
  • Additionally, Visa Spend Clarity may also lead to financial arguments or conflict if users are not on the same page about their spending habits.
