Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between receipt scanning accuracy in Expensify versus Concur?

Expensify specialises in consumer receipt scanning with SmartScan technology, achieving 95%+ accuracy on standard receipts. Concur focuses on enterprise integration and policy compliance rather than raw scanning accuracy, often leveraging Expensify or similar providers for receipt digitisation in its ecosystem.

Can I use expense management software without issuing corporate cards?

Yes. Platforms like Expensify, Zoho Expense, and Certify support traditional reimbursement workflows where employees submit personal expenses and receipts for approval and reimbursement. Card-centric solutions like Brex and Ramp streamline by automating capture, but non-card expenses can still be managed.

How do I choose between Concur, Expensify, and Brex?

Choose Concur for large enterprises needing deep ERP integration and complex approval rules. Expensify suits growing companies prioritising ease of use and affordability. Brex works best if you want to consolidate card management and expense tracking, but requires switching card providers.
