### "Payhawk makes simple what before was a headache"

September 26, 2022

4.0

My experience with Payhawk is very good, before I was using other softwares like Captio which were not working very well and the Artificial Intelligence failed a lot. With Payhawk is different, the ticket reading is simple and fast and the creation of reports and expenses is almost on live. I have a 200 EUR prepaid card which is always ready just for some regular shopping on stores or even Amazon which is very fast for the business.

Pros

No more ticketing control, no more saving papers that you can lose. Just take pictures of the tickets while travelling or buying some stuff for work and that's all. The AI will read all data and will introduce all numbers and dates into the app to make the automatic report. For my company, I have 200 EUR prepaid card just for regular shopping or when one day travelling so it's very convenient.

Cons

There are no much cons actually, everything is quite visual and easy to follow. You need a short training at the beginning to understand all features but the rest is smooth.

Switched from

The company just changed it because the approval time was very high and the ticket reading (by an artificial intelligence) was not very accurate and there were always issues.

### "Great tool"

February 4, 2025

4.0

Pros

It's super easy to use and very intuitive

Cons

Onboarding promise to be more helpful, but you have to figure out almost everything by your own.

Alternatives considered

[Spendesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/157515/Spendesk/)[Holded](https://www.capterra.com/p/153384/Holded/)

Reason for choosing Payhawk

Type of pricing (subscription based) and the fact that encourages it's use by the money back program. Other alternatives price more if you use it more which is not interesting at all.

### "Great overall experience"

February 5, 2025

5.0

Great help of the team to implement the solution, we change from spendesk to payhawk and we are very happy with it

Pros

Easy to use, good client support if needed

Cons

Sometimes workflows are a little bit hard to understand at first

### "No more chasing employees!"

February 4, 2025

5.0

The overall experience has been pleasant

Pros

The ability to place limits on cards and introduce spendature policies for different team members. The system also automatically blocks cards when employees do not upload receipts, which means everyone keeps on top of this because they do not want their card blocked!

Cons

I would have preferred the ability for a 'pocket function' to allow employees to pay back money that is outside company policies. Currently we need to dock these amounts from payroll,

Switched from

[Pleo](https://www.capterra.com/p/160720/Pleo/)

We had issues with control over how employees use their cards. We also had to keep chasing for receipts to be uploaded.

### "Good but not great"

February 4, 2025

3.0

General functionality is okay but having to authorise through the app to use the desktop version is silly.

Pros

Notifications on the platform are terrible.

Cons

The request notifications are the worst part

Cost conservation. The functionality was better on Spendesk

### "Great Card Solution"

May 14, 2025

5.0

9.5/10 - their customer service is quite responsive, the cards are compatible with google pay/ wallet as well

Pros

easy to use, great for a business, really ideal payment solution, the reimbursement feature is nice to have

Cons

chasing employees for receipts, but that's more an issue with the employees than the service. Would be great to have reimbursement requests go directly to a separate tab as they can get lost

February 4, 2025

5.0

Great, love using it. Removes paperwork, wasted time and assists accounts in expense categorisation.

Pros

Very easy to use, both app and desktop are seamless in helping me to submit expenses on the go.

Cons

would benefit from my company being able to set reminders and timed limitations on expense submission, possibly a freeze to card use until previous expenses are submitted.

### "Expense tracking made easier"

February 4, 2025

5.0

Payhawk is a great tool for managing expenses efficiently. The automation features and integrations help simplify tracking and approvals, making it a convenient solution for daily use.

Pros

Payhawk makes expense tracking incredibly easy with its intuitive interface and automation features. I love that I can add my company card to Google Pay, which makes payments more convenient. The receipt scanning and approval workflows also streamline our processes, saving time on reimbursements and reconciliation.

Cons

The receipt scanner could be more accurate and responsive when capturing details.

### "Great service for any company!"

February 5, 2025

5.0

I like it. Once my company started using it the payment process became easier, faster and more transparent.

Pros

\- Easy to use - Simplifies, almost automates the payment processes - Gives full transparency of a process: I have ability to see payment status, names of people task is assigned to etc

Cons

\- AI and OCR is not perfect yet - Adding identical invoice once a month requires me to fill up the same fields - this could be automated or at least provide some suggestions based on previous months

### "Payhawk as expenses claim Application"

February 5, 2025

5.0

Overall its quite simple and easy use of claiming expenses. So far i had no bugging, and even tho i return back and forth few times everything was kept. Big congrats on this!

Pros

I like that is really simple to use. Even tho i am strugling with German it was not that hard. So far its really easy to ask for expenses and the app itself does allot of work for you.

Cons

I didnt like that even tho i switched to English. My suboptions are still on German. Once you change to English everything should be on English.

Easy to use, not overly complicated and no need for a user guide either

Pros

Ease of use, especially when using it the first time on the app. Simple to add photos or files to expenses.

Cons

Nothing that I can think of. A minor addition I would say would be to have an accompanying email confirmation when expenses are processed / paid

### "The best expense management system"

May 10, 2023

5.0

I think it was the best tool that we have. Is very useful to manage all our monthly purchases, you have it under control, you can define limits, funds and payments very easy. You can also can have the recurrent subscriptions in the same panel, to know the monthly expenses. You can pay invoices, reimburse expenses and use the credit cards.

Pros

The easy use, implement, manage and control. Also, the support team is impressive! how they follow open cases, the fast answers, their knowledge.

Cons

Is a brand new tool, so it's improving their functionalities every day. We started without the Netsuite integration, and now it's working perfectly. We have also the travelperk integration and it's very good. The best is that the product and development team is always connected with your needs and helping a lot in Payhawk grow.

### "better visualized expenses"

June 27, 2024

4.0

total control of expenses allowing to have a secure and very strategic basis for making decisions based on expenses

Pros

Since I have managed Payhawk I have managed to have an order in my expenses that helps me not to forget pending invoices and to be able to have a better visualization of all daily expenses in real time on a single platform so as not to disperse the information and have control of invoices , accounts payable and receipts.

Cons

I like everything, however the customer service can take a while to respond, that's the only thing wrong.
