March 4, 2026 5.0 better than expensify! I'm officially switching. I find it far easier to work with and the price is better, the perfect combo. Pros easy! The scans work great, as do emails. I can set up reports and categorize with no issue. And I love the price! Cons I don't like how corporate cards can't be set for reimbursement. And deleting cards proved difficult. There's a bit of a learning curve. Switched from [Expensify](https://www.capterra.com/p/97594/Expensify/) bad customer service and price and confusion Review Source AM Albert M. Senior Operations Strategist Security and Investigations Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Product" January 30, 2026 5.0 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.

Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) It wasn't working properly with receipt upload. Review Source WO William O. MD Oil & Energy Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Needing re-review" November 17, 2025 3.0 Overall it seems to be OK will do another review during the next test phase. I seem to like the look and feel of the software. Pros The fact that it can be integrated with Zoho books Will like to explore more to be sure it is what we want as what we were looking for was just a procurement module. Cons Not yet fully checked but will be looking forward to exploring further integration possibilities and how to fine tune the process map. Review Source CC Camille C. Operations and Finance Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Reliable expense management with strong support, but limited flexibility" January 29, 2026 4.0 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. 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.

Owner Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "M&E Financial Services Review for Zoho" January 2, 2026 5.0 Overall, I cannot complain. It allows me to do my job and give my clients what they expect from me without any issues. Pros Zoho provides everything I need for a small fraction of other software. Also, the features and abilities that it has. The reports I can run without having any issues. Cons The only thing I do not like is that you cannot bundle services or companies. Wish there was packages at a cheaper price for users who use multiple sections and for multiple companies. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/)[Wave](https://www.capterra.com/p/178021/Wave-Apps/) Reason for choosing Zoho Expense I believed that Zoho would give me everything I need for a reasonable price. Review Source SF Steven F. Admin Analyst Mental Health Care Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great platform!" February 20, 2026 5.0 For our purposes, Zoho Expense works best. I've tried other apps and had too many problems with them - Zoho just works! 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! Alternatives considered [Expensify](https://www.capterra.com/p/97594/Expensify/)[Sage Expense Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/162066/Fyle/) Reason 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. Review Source JM Juan M. Owner Financial Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Comprehensive and Intuitive" January 30, 2026 5.0 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 Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Reason for choosing Zoho Expense ease of implementation and functionality of the expense app. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Accountant Wholesale Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "I'm happy with zoho expense" March 2, 2026 5.0 Actually, my company was using a manual petty cash process, but after we started using Zoho Expense, the process has been seamless. Pros The fact that I don’t need to post petty cash expenses after they have been approved, that the comment section can be used for internal communication, and that all approvers are notified. Cons None for now. I would recommend the Zoho accounting package to small business owners because it is easy to understand and use. Review Source SB Sargam B. Founder's Office Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Zoho Expense " April 6, 2026 4.0 Zoho Expense is a solid expense management tool with an intuitive interface and strong automation features. The approval workflow and policy enforcement save us a lot of time. Would love to see even more customization in reports, but overall it's been a great experience for our team Pros The user interface is great, it definitely is value for money. We've been using Zoho Expense for a few months now and it has streamlined our entire expense reporting process. Auto-scan for receipts, multi-currency support, and seamless integration with Zoho Books are standout features. Highly recommend for small and mid-sized businesses. Cons The fact that it does not provide a single POC for raising issues. The customer support can be relatively slow to respond. Review Source JE Joshua E. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent features to save tons of time." March 10, 2026 5.0 Pros Very helpful. The auto scan feature is absolutely a massive time saver. This literally saves so many hours of time. Cons I wish there was a higher daily scan limit as well as a higher monthly limit. They are willing to lift it with temporary exceptions.

Review Source VD Vishal D. Sales Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zoho Expense - Reliable & Simple Platform" November 19, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Zoho Expense has been largely positive, especially because it cuts down a lot of manual work and keeps team spending transparent. The security controls and automated checks give confidence. It offers a solid value for money for most use cases, but costs can creep up when you start using the more advanced features Pros 1\. Really liked how quickly I could see expenses coming in. Also submitting bills from the mobile app felt smooth, just click a picture, fill two fields and its done. 2. The automated policy checks saved me so much manual review time. 3. The multi-level approval flow is clean and logical. 4. Because I already use Zoho products, the sync was almost plug-and-play. 5. No complicated setup, and the integration with payments and reimbursements works efficiently most of the time. 6. Zoho expense feels reliable from a security point of view. Cons 1\. The receipt scanning sometimes misreads amounts or vendor names, especially on faded bills. 2. The reporting is good and functional but not very visually rich from my point of view. 3. At times support responds quickly, but during peak days it feels like the queries go into the queue and take longer than expected. 4. Customization takes time as I had to watch tutorials just to configure certain policies properly. 5. For smaller teams the cost is fine and seems value for money, but for growing teams it can add up faster than expected. Review Source PS Pamela S. Director of Operations Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for small teams" August 15, 2025 4.0 Our team is really happy with Zoho expense. It's simplified the process for them in recording and tracking their expenses and saves time. Pros I think it's a great value for the cost. We've been able to customize it to meet our needs. It allows us to track our expenses more efficiently and is saving a lot of time on the finance side. Cons We use Quickbooks Online and use classes in addition to the account/catergories. It would be helpful if we could have an option to include that to simplify importing reports into QB. Review Source RG Rushikesh G.

Would highly recommend to any small business looking for a fully integrated solution. Pros Zoho Expense is nicely integrated into Zoho book.

Pros Field can submit expenses easily using Zoho Expense, and the approval chain is flexible. Auto-scan for receipts saves time.

I own several companies, and it makes keeping track of each one easier. Pros I like that everything I need is in one space. Especially since I run several companies. Being able to take pictures of my receipts is irreplaceable Cons I think the delegate notifications are not intuitive, and therefore, it's not useful as a CEO for my assistant.
