As an end-user, Spendesk is easily the simplest, most intuitive platform I have ever used for corporate expense management.

Zoho Expense is wonderful when you have a distributed or remote team or workforce that needs to submit expenses reports throughout the month into a single software and approval system. Zoho Expense does make it easy to train, onboard, and use all of the end-user features for submitting and generating expense reports.

Pros
  • POs approval
  • Integration with Slack

  • The program will notify users if they have entered a duplicate charge.
  • Once the end-users understood that receipts were mandatory, attaching those receipts has become second-nature. The app makes it very easy to do so.

Cons
  • The AI that reads receipts could be improved.

  • Banking integration should be two ways, once corporate card is paid for, it should close the line item
  • Reports should be available on demand

Ease of use for the simple basic options. I wish the there was an option for reimbursement to be marked separately. Example for all corporate credit expense reports with $0 reimbursements still have to be marked as reimbursed in order to be removed from pending reimbursement section. For the cost the features offer benefits

The only reason I give Zoho a 9 is because of the issue with the Chart of Accounts skewing every time I export/import. I believe this is due to the fact that I use sub-accounts and Zoho cannot differentiate. Still hoping. :)

Alternatives Considered
Spendesk is fully dedicated to this field. While we are still using Airtable for other purposes, such as automation, Spendesk allows us to get a well-structured process for approvals and improve the communication between different teams

Zoho Expense is on the lower end with limited features however the cost out weights all the fancy features the others have. As they charge way to much and have limited return on investment. The return on investment for the other platforms is only worth it when operating large scale operations. Zoho Expense is a great product

  • It's included in our Zoho One Subscription which was cheaper than QuickBooks, and we now have so many more options at a much cheaper cost.
