Which one fits your firm

Choose Expensify if

  • Firms that want a simple receipt capture and approval tool for small and mid-sized clients without a big rollout.
  • Firms that want a free starting point for clients, then a $5 per member step up to QuickBooks or Xero sync.
  • Accountants who want a partner program with a dashboard across clients and revenue share on client card spend.

Think twice about Expensify if

  • Firms whose clients need NetSuite, Sage Intacct or QuickBooks Desktop on a low-cost plan; those require Control.
  • Teams that prefer phone support; Expensify support is chat only with a human on request.
  • Clients wanting a free all-in-one card and AP platform with no per-member fee; paid active members are needed.

Choose SAP Concur if

  • Clients already running SAP or S/4HANA who want travel, expense, and invoice data in one view.
  • Growing businesses that need travel booking plus expense and invoice tools from a single vendor.

Think twice about SAP Concur if

  • Practices wanting a free plan for clients; SAP Concur starts with a per-report fee and no stated free tier.
  • Very small clients with few expense reports who prefer a flat monthly price over per-report costs.
  • Firms needing travel booking on the entry-level plan; travel tools sit in the custom-priced Premium tier.
