Zoho Expense gets the job done!
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Zoho Expense from other similar products?
Zoho’s suite of products is a game changer. It makes it way more affordable and provides a whole grouping of options.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I really like how simple it is. I’ve used Concur, Travel Bank, and others. Zoho is just as good and really doesn’t leave a lot of wondering. It’s super straightforward and gets the job done. The approval workflow is great too!
What do you dislike most about this product?
The only thing I don’t like is how few options I have for categorizing. That might just be my company’s fault, but it often feels too generic to know where an expense goes.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It’s a great tool and if you’re considering the Zoho suite, this is a strong part of the suite.
Pros

What differentiates Zoho Expense from other similar products?
Zoho Expense stands out due to its integration within the Zoho ecosystem and its affordability compared to competitors. It provides seamless connectivity with other Zoho tools (like Zoho Books and Zoho CRM) and popular third-party applications (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero, and Slack). Its automation features, such as receipt scanning and policy enforcement, cater to businesses looking for efficiency and compliance without breaking the bank. Additionally, its multi-currency support and intuitive interface make it accessible for global and small-to-medium-sized companies alike.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The receipt scanning feature with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is incredibly convenient. Users can scan receipts on the go, and Zoho Expense automatically extracts and organizes the data. This saves time and minimizes manual errors, particularly for frequent travelers or teams managing high expenses.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Some advanced features, such as customized workflows and advanced analytics, are limited to higher-tier plans. This can make the product feel restrictive for growing businesses that need these features but are hesitant to upgrade. Additionally, the mobile app, while functional, occasionally lags or lacks the full functionality of the desktop version.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you're considering Zoho Expense, use the free trial to explore its features and ensure they align with your needs. It’s especially valuable for businesses already using Zoho products due to its seamless integrations. Evaluate whether the advanced features, like custom workflows and detailed reporting, justify the cost of a higher-tier plan. Ensure your team is trained on the mobile app and receipt scanning to maximize efficiency. Overall, it’s an affordable and user-friendly option for simplifying expense management.
