Pros Before I used Pleo, expenses were a real pain and took a lot of time. I love how easy it is to set up users on Pleo, to give them limits, and for them to start using it. The virtual cards make it really quick to set people up, and the visibility of spending is great. It also gives nudges to people to add their receipts, which saves time. Cons Pleo has a great feature for "fetching" receipts from your email inbox but this doesn't always work brilliantly so I still have to go and find the receipt manually. It'd be great if this was more reliable. Switched from [Expensify](https://www.capterra.com/p/97594/Expensify/) Pleo has better design and transparency, and it's easier to use.

BI Analyst Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Economical Expense Manager" August 13, 2024 4.0 Pros Made life easier with the invoice and account management. Cons I found it a little difficult to use. The user interface could be improved much. Switched from [Pliant](https://www.capterra.com/p/264834/Pliant/) I changed employment and the new employer used Pleo. Review Source SM Sannah M. Sales Administrator Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for small companies" February 10, 2025 3.0 Pleo is a good software however it was not sufficient for our needs as a company and we eventually outgrew it. Pros I liked being able to add filters to my expenses and export these to Microsoft Excel. From here I could then manipulate the data to create financial reports based on what I needed. Cons I did not like having to manually export to Xero, along with not being able to control staff cards enough as I needed to. Review Source JC Julian C. Accounts Payable Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pleo Postive" December 23, 2025 5.0 Overall very happy. Cashback worked well to cover the monthly costs of the system. Physical cards were dispatched quickly and reliably. Overall the acceptance of the cards was high in UK, EU, Africa and USA. Senior management liked the visibility of Expenses accross departments. Pros Very simple and easy to understand interface for employees and management to understand. The accounting integration was done very quickly and smoothly and all our quirks were taken into consideration in the onboarding to make sure they are included. The APP and website worked well and speedy to use. Cons The customer service was very slow to respond when we had issues with card transactions. Dealing with multiple account managers, no single point of management of the account. Costs increased significantly annually. Review Source Michelle B. Director Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great solution to expenses claims" January 6, 2019 5.0 We spend some time researching pleo before we signed up, and pleo were happy to answer all our questions and provide web demos to show us how it works. Our experience has been very positive. Pleo saves us time overall by reducing manual admin processes associated with expense claims. It saves elapsed time at month end for both individual employees and our accounts team. Staff like the app and their experience has been positive. Pros Great integration from payment to accounting for expenses. Individuals deal with the admin for their expenses item by item using the phone app to snap receipts (or via browser)- it's easy and saves time and lost receipts. Much easier than using a company purchase card. The only things we have to claim via an old fashioned process are things we can't pay for with a pleo card - for us, cash payments for taxis, and mileage claims. Our accountant can download all the info they need at month end easily with all the receipts. Admin users can manage risk by setting limits - monthly or total, plus per item limits. Admin users can freeze and unfreeze cards if a user thinks they've lost their card then finds it. Analysis lets you see quickly where your expenses spend is. Cons Most of our spend is in one category, and while you can set up sub categories, at the moment you can't analyse spend against those subcategories. That said, pleo want to know what would make their product better, and we've already seen improvements to the app. Review Source Adina K. Office Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for Business Expenses" November 19, 2018 5.0 If you are a SME I don't see any reason why you would go with a competitor. The app works incredibly well and fast, the support is lovely and helpful, the system is easy to understand and implement. Pros It is incredibly easy to use, it has a lot of functionalities and whenever I needed help from the support team I always had a great experience. I do a lot of purchases, probably 15 a day and I've never used an expense system in my career that was that easy. Cons I have to say the new update isn't my favourite, funnily enough it adds more functionality (which in itself is good) but now it takes one step longer to upload a receipt (it's still incredibly quick, doesn't even take 30 seconds), but it's something I noticed.

CS lead Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The card is not well accepted " November 8, 2022 3.0 We use it to pay for subscriptions for our digital tools in our company Pros it is easy to use and the expense management tracker is good Cons The card is not good enough for a company. It is not accepted in a lot of places (including google) so at the end we do not use it as much as we want Reason for choosing Pleo We thought only about the price, but it was not a good decision Review Source Mikael Thusgaard J. Financial Controller Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Plug & Play, cost efficient, timesaving - Makes everyones expenses easier and more fun!" April 24, 2018 5.0 Pros Simple to use - Plug & Play. The experience is completely simple and smart - from the app download to the use and expensing. Pleo has cut down our expense processing and handling by at least 60% and will save several days per month when we get the full implementation and API. Fun & and fantastic easy to use for everyone in finance and to the management group. Cons We have experienced people not being able to rent cars, because of the companys name was on the cards - we then tried out with personal names and the issues seems to be solved Review Source Kian R. Accounts Executive Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Company, Makes Expense Reporting So Much Easier." March 13, 2019 5.0 Pros Pleo is such a sophisticated system, we have a lot of employees out and about and they can rack up a lot of expenses meaning LOTS of receipts having to be collected at the end of the month to compensate them in their wage packet. Not only is it good we can use company money for their expenses, all they have to do is snap a picture of the receipt and they've done their part! Great company, easy to use interface, brilliant support, if theres any complicated questions, PLEO will setup a webinar with one of their professionals giving you such specific assurance. Cons I have no cons for PLEO, we haven't encountered any problems thus far and have been using the system for around 8 months. Review Source Nikolaj T. Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect tool" February 5, 2019 5.0 I like spending time on things that develop​ and grow our business rather than filling out expense forms. Pleo allows​ us to do that while we are absolutely sure that Pleo will do its part perfectly. Pros The Pleo app works perfectly. It saves you a lot of time and it makes it super easy to control and follow company expenses. The integration to accounting platforms like e-conomic works very well and it saves time and money on your book keeping. Cons The export functions could be more elaborate but that would just be icing on the cake. Review Source RA Rodrigo A. Programme Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "User-friendly experience with minor drawbacks" August 31, 2025 4.0 Considering that my company needs all the required information, Pleo seems to be a good solution for inputting the data. Pros Easy to use, great user experience. Since it automatically reads the receipt information, it saves you time entering the required details. Cons It can be a bit slow on my 2019 Android phone. The automatic scan sometimes takes longer than I would like. Because of that, adding my expenses can take a while. Review Source CH Christian H. Head of accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Saves you tons of time and let you focus on what really matters - amazing software!" September 25, 2017 4.0 Pros Pleo has helped us a lot as a growing startup by giving us an instant overview of our company expenses, and at the same saved us tons of hours of work by letting Pleo do the match of receipt and most of the bookkeeping. As a head of accounting I personally like the instant overview of the expenses Pleo gives you and the easy userface, which makes it possible for every employee to use Pleo from day one. Most of the employees in our company didn't need to talk to me before using Pleo - they just figured Pleo out on their own because it is so simple to use! At the same it gives you a much more flexible way of managing your expenses and company cards. Before we used Pleo it took us weeks to make changes since we had to sign a lot of documents and wait for our bank contact to get back to us. With Pleo you sign once - and then you can manage all your daily / monthly / yearly limits on each Pleo card you have as a company, and you can easy give or withdraw an employee company card. Cons I do wish that Pleo will make it possible in the future to transfer more data from Pleo to the accounting system. For instans - there is not an integration between the projects numbers registred in Pleo and the project number system in our accounting system. That means that when you do exporting of your data + pictures of receipts from Pleo to the accounting system, the account system (as it is right now) will not understand the project numbers exported from Pleo and the accounting system will therefore not automatically create these project numbers or register them as project numbers in the accounting system at all. If we were a bigger company with more projects that would be an issue. Review Source Response from Pleo September 26, 2017 Hey Christian, thanks for the review! We are right now working on better integration of projects into the accounting systems (e-conomic, Xero). Coming in the next few months - so should be much easier to deal with a bigger amount of projects. VR Verified Reviewer VP Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best company card ever!" August 21, 2019 5.0 Just works. I think my 2-year old son could figure it out. Pros Beautiful interface and 1-click (almost) bookkeeping is very impressive. I save maybe 2 hour a month on reporting for myself and my teams and I don't have to keep track of my receipts in my pockets. Cons Would be great if there was some sort of kickback but that's probably not in the EU directive that makes it legal. Review Source IG Isabella G. Talent and Engagement Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product - lovely customer service" April 11, 2019 5.0 Pleo is just a product that makes your life easier. Our company uses Pleo every day to pay for stuff without​ having the hassle​ to reimburse individuals. It gives you a lot of freedom but also responsibility​ and trust as an employee. Pros \- Easy to use - Product solves a real problem for every company (from a size of more than 6 people I would say) - Lovely design - Great team and company culture Cons I can't be thinking​ of anything. Every tech product has points to improve on their journey​ but Pleo's customer success team makes it easy to raise any problems, are very helpful, quick and friendly​. Review Source EK Ellen K. Lead Accountant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pleo - an easy to use company card" December 3, 2018 5.0 Reciepts are fast in the system. With the "first reminder" of missing reciepts accounting saves time and the card holder is reminded fast enough to go through pockets before laudry day ;-) Pros Fast delivery of new cards makes it easy to onboard new colleagues. The setup of the new account is even easier. You can always adjust any limits made to a specific card and have overview over all recipts and invite your external revision to join. Cons The only thing I can think of is that you have to be patient with taking a status of account. Since some payments may be pending for a day or two, you should remember that some payments may join already accounted days. But knowing this it is only a minor disturbance. Review Source MP Michael P. Management Accountant Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Slick product" November 26, 2018 5.0 Installing Pleo was all about TIME, time for us, time for the users, time for everyone. Simple and time efficient where a child could use the APP is great. Pros Pleo simplifies our corporate card system, allowing an APP based system that is user friendly and simple to use. It saves the finance department at Oakbrook Finance time and effort in taking the admin out of the process. Cons As of yet the VAT element being missing, however Pleo are quick to take on board feedback and I'm told this is being worked on to be added soon. Not many companies respond to change this quickly. Review Source HK Holly K. Events Manager Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "User Review of Podio" August 6, 2019 5.0 from the packaging it arrives in, to having your pin on your phone, it being contactless, filing missing receipts, searching for purchases when in browser mode, it is great! Would definitely recommend for businesses. It is way better than having on company card to share and no need to worry as limits can be set and it is easy to track by individual. Pros The best thing is that you can take photos of your receipts on your phone and file them straight away which means they can't get lost! Cons the virtual card, I feel like it isn't needed as you have the physical card details on your phone too. Review Source aS adam S. BDM Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Massive improvement over traditional expenses management " September 4, 2019 5.0 Pros The instant alerts when a spend is made adds to security, whilst the on-the-go ability to upload and categorize expenses means a few seconds each day saves a couple of hours at the end of the month. Cons Occasional rejections at point of purchase due to the pre-pay nature \[not a software issue\] Review Source SS Simon S. co-founder Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's a no brainer - You can't run a business without pleo - simply as that. " October 6, 2019 5.0 Everything i wished for. Pros I'm currently using PLEO daily. I save time and dont have to worry about missing document for the employees or myself. Pleo is very simple to use and the Cons Nothing. It does it's job every time I need it. Review Source VL Victoria L. Operations Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Pleo - so easy to implement and use" April 11, 2019 5.0 PLEO have been a delight to work with, help is given at any request and support is there when needed. The whole process has been a smooth and seamless transition. Pros The ease with which we implemented the new solution across all staff - the PLEO on-boarding team were ready with help at every moment we needed it! Cons I cant think of anything in the process or software that I dislike! Review Source LM Leigh M. Retail Manager Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easiest app I've ever used" November 18, 2019 5.0 Pros The app is laid out so simply. It is incredibly user friendly. Great with notifications every time you purchase something so you always know when receipts are expected. Easy upload of receipts. Easy to monitor purchases for fraud due to the notifications. Customer service is quick to reply and eager to assist. Freezing and unfreezing cards is effortless. Highly recommend. LOVE submitting photos instantly, rather than holding on to several paper receipts all the time. Cons My organization has not given us enough categories to choose from or categories that are understandable when purchasing and I have taken this up with them. The app/software itself is amazing. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Pleo review." August 13, 2019 5.0 Reducing time inputting expenses into a spreadsheet, compiling the receipts and sending them off too so much time. Pleo has made the whole process simple and hassle free. Pros Really easy to set up and input information using the app. Cons Having two card details (virtual and plastic), seems unnecessary. Review Source DH Deepa H. CFO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use, saves a lot of time and the customer support is fantastic" February 8, 2018 5.0 Saving a lot of time Pros That I can transfer transactions and receipts to my accounting system, it is easy to add funds to our wallet, and i can create new users and order new cards in no time Cons The project module. I am really looking forward to when the projekt module is up and running. I can still transfer the project costs and receipts to our accounting system but i have to adjust the transactions manually in my system to make sure that they are entered on the right projects Review Source TT Thomas T. CCO Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great solution" August 16, 2019 5.0 Great for the functionality available Pros Private creditcard not used Easy to use It just works Cons Mileage and other expense where Pleo card can not me leveraged still needs to be done manually. Solutions like Skovik has it but they do not have a card. Review Source CN Christina N. Head of accounting Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Saves a lot of time" October 24, 2018 5.0 saves a lot of time Pros Employees using the cards saves a lot of time and they are all very happy with the solution. Accounting saves a lot of time with the booking - and even more time because we do not need to chase collegues for missing receipts. It is very fast and easy to get new cards for new employees. Cons Not integrated with our finance system (Uniconta) - we need to attach the receipts manually when the transactions are imported Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
