Leading finance teams who chose Fyle over Expensify
Looking to switch from Expensify?
Here’s why you should consider Fyle.
Expensify gives you an ultimatum: you use their debit card or pay double. With Fyle, you pay only for active users and for the features that you want to use – no hidden costs.
Expensify charges you for every active user - anyone who logs into their account, even if it is just to change a password. Fyle charges you only for those users who actually submit an expense report.
No in-app disruptions forcing you to use a debit card you may or may not need.
We have a highly qualified support team, who are available 24x7 over chat, email, or phone, to solve any query you may have.
Unlike Expensify, we won’t email your users asking them to pressure Accounting and Finance to adopt any debit card. We work with your cards, simple as that.
Fyle is easy to customize and easier to adopt.
Unlike Expensify, we believe in constant innovation. Expect monthly feature releases and timely product updates.
Complete control over the product – easily enable/disable features based on your business requirements.
Enterprise-grade security and 100% ownership of YOUR data. Your data isn’t shown to Amazon’s Mechanical Turk gig workers.
Seamless, customizable, and self-serve integrations with your preferred accounting software, productivity apps, and travel software.
We’re so confident about our product and service, that we don’t use any black-hat tactics to keep you locked in. If you’re not happy with our product or service, you can walk away without any lock-ins and easy data-exports.
Trusted by finance teams, loved by employees
Here’s what our customers have to say
Previous 
I have different expenses in different countries with different currencies. I can manage all these very easily. The most important benefit for me is the time. I don't spend time to fill everything manually. Fyle automatically fills or suggests values for me.
The introduction of Fyle has been a huge advantage and time optimization for us consultants who work on multiple projects at the same time and still need to claim expenses daily.
When I am travelling, I take a snapshot of every bill then and there and add it to Fyle. Once I am back, I am able to add all my Uber receipts directly from my emails to Fyle through a Chrome extension. No hassle of keeping all this together.
I LOVE that you can expense from an emailed receipt.
The email extension is AWESOME!
It is much better than what we used in the past.
Our team is very happy.
The automatic capture from the image is a brilliant feature - just take images and watch it complete the rest. The app is easy to use and the integration with Gmail makes it simple to "fyle" anything.
Easy to upload photos and it keeps track of your most used reimbursement reasons such as hotel, perdiem, and lodging. Because of this feature I can log my company perdiem very quickly and I don’t have to struggle every time and put in my reimbursement reasons or site name.
I had a weird glitch happen to my app, and just waved my hand at it, however the next day someone from Fyle reached out to me asking if I had a problem with my app, when I said I did they told me how to fix the issue. We went from Google forms to this. Fyle is so much better.
It is simple, easy to use and you can enter your expenses on the go. Installation is easy and you can automatically file receipts you receive via email. Submitting your expenses has never been easier.
Next I hate it when @expensify is trying to be cute. This is accounting. I just need it to be as easy as possible, don't try to trick me into thinking this is fun. It's boring.

I hate Expensify. That’s all.

@expensify hey! Is there a way of buying more smartscans but NOT getting any other features? The "automated workflow" thing keeps doing stuff to my expenses I don't want it to and I hate it.
— Kevin Evans (@underwatergeek) March 20, 2018
@expensify why did you take away the ability to bulk upload images for expenses, it was the only thing that made me not hate your software!
— Salvatore Poliandro (@PopsikleCL) February 3, 2018
Ugh I hate @expensify. Did expenses and realized it failed to import half my Amex UK line items in March. Sigh.

@expensify how the hell does someone get help with your product. Your hold $1000’s of dollars of my money and no one will help me

Hey @expensify 3 days and we are still waiting for help desk response... 40 people in my sales and services team waiting on checks. ETA for response?

Our CFO getting ready to find a new vendor for @WorkboardInc
Excellent, Expensify thinks I just spent £3,805 in Starbucks.

Why did I just receive a 28-paragraph email, from something called #Expensify, in which the CEO actually used the expression, "don't hate the player, hate the game?" To use an equally dated expression, #FAIL.
— Geoff Crittenden (@GeoffCrittenden) October 8, 2019
I think they’ve given up. There will never be a fix. It has been months now. I hate Expensify.
— hussein kanji (@hkanji) March 28, 2018
@expensify I have to say I hate the recent changes to the web app. Massively less efficient for me. My CFO agrees. Inclined to ditch it after years of use.

Moan... I hate the way @expensify iOS app randomly chooses to demand password entry and refuses to take new expenses until entered, no integration with SSO, no warning, no cooling off period. Bad UX design.
— Nigel Hawthorn (@wheresnigel) December 13, 2017
@expensify You are utterly doing my head in. I HATE this app and now Im stuck with it. Nobody makes any sense in the 'chat' and theres no #
