Excellent for small nonprofits!

We began using this several months ago. Getting staff to turn in and code receipts used to be a slog, involving chasing folks down. Now reconciliations are completed sometimes same day as the statements come out.

Pros:

Zoho Expense has streamlined my organizations receipt submission process. It's so easy for staff to upload their receipts in real time, so there's no excuse for lost receipts.

Cons:

I can't think of anything I dislike at this time. The learning curve can be challenging for less tech savvy users, but with time it makes sense.

Reliable expense management with strong support, but limited flexibility

Zoho Expense is a solid expense management tool with strong reporting I look forward to being fully set up so I can integrate with the other apps particularly Zoho Books. It seems to work well for day-to-day expense tracking and approvals, but it is less flexible for organizations with complex, multi-currency, or donor-funded structures like ours. With clearer documentation and more configurable options, it could be significantly stronger for nonprofit and international teams.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Their customer support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Support tickets are handled quickly, and follow-ups are consistent until issues are resolved. This has been especially valuable during initial setup and configuration. I am grateful for the customer support team's responsiveness. They are very knowledgeable. I want to shout out to Iftesham who has been so amazing through out.

Cons:

Some core configurations are rigid, particularly around base currency, advances, and how expenses are categorized across projects or departments. The learning curve for admins is steeper than expected. So I'm glad they have 2 free hours of onboarding.

Zoho Expense is Nice But Not Necessarily Worth It

I am mostly satisfied but feel that there are cheaper and less cumbersome ways to track business expenses.

Functionality

Pros:

It makes it easy to produce expense reports in a timely manner that are accurate. Zoho also allows for easier integration of payment/business cards so transferring receipts and statements into expense reports becomes much simpler.

Cons:

The cost for the service seems to go up whilst new features don’t really seem necessary at times. I preferred when the software was not bogged down by clunky integrations.

End the spreadsheet reign of terror

We are seeking a reasonably priced expense program to end the reign of the terrible spreadsheets that get emailed around for approval. Zoho expense seems to meet our needs well and has been easy to set up. We have been using it for only a couple of days so the jury is still out, but so far, we see great potential.

Pros:

Complex enough to meet our needs but easy enough to set up fast. It was really easy to add credit cards and the dashboards are helpful.

Cons:

We are still looking for a con, I suppose it was annoying that the account types weren't quite as customizable as I would have liked, but that was minor and we found a work around

Pros:

Love how smooth and easy it communicates with QuickBooks Online. The app is great and easy. Our employees love it.

Cons:

One thing that's a more inconvenience than a con, is being able to select multiple reports to export to QuickBooks online at a time. At this point we have to click into one report at a time to export to QuickBooks. I would also love to see a timekeeping option that also works with QuickBooks online and QuickBooks Payroll so we have a 1 stop shop.

Reasons for choosing Zoho Expense

We choose Zoho expense because it was the most friendly integration with QuickBooks online.

Reasons for switching to Zoho Expense

It wasn't working properly with receipt upload.

For our purposes, Zoho Expense works best. I've tried other apps and had too many problems with them - Zoho just works!

Functionality

Pros:

Streamlines expense approvals which frees up valuable time for us. Great interface, fair price, checks nearly every box we were looking for.

Cons:

There's one feature that would be huge that's hard to find in an expensing apps: The ability to automatically match when there are multiple charges for one receipt, or multiple receipts for one charge. This functionality would be huge for us!

Reasons for choosing Zoho Expense

Expensify did not handle the issue of matching multiple transactions to one receipt, or multiple receipts to one transaction (something we find happens with Amazon and Costco orders). Sage looked promising, but there was no trial available, and recent reviews indicate that the platform has become buggy and frustrating to use.

Pros:

While my experience is somewhat limited as a new user, so far i have found it to be very intuitive and comprehensive. I like that I can track mileage along other expense categories either from my mobile or desktop, and i can do create a quick pre-formatted PDF report for submission. Also like that it interfaces with Zoho Books, which although I haven't tried, appears to be very useful to make record keeping easier.

Cons:

I just started to use it. So far, haven't found anything I didn't like. Very promising application
