"A Streamlined, Stress‑Free Way to Manage Expenses"

5/5

What do you like best about Zoho Expense?

What I like best about Zoho Expense is how effortlessly it streamlines the entire expense‑tracking process. The automation is genuinely impressive — from scanning receipts to auto‑filling details, it eliminates the tedious manual work that usually slows teams down. The interface is clean, intuitive, and easy for anyone to pick up, which makes onboarding smooth and stress‑free.

I also appreciate how well it integrates with other tools in the Zoho ecosystem and popular accounting platforms. Approvals, reimbursements, and reporting all flow in one place, giving me real‑time visibility and control without any clutter. It saves time, reduces errors, and keeps everything organized, which is exactly what great expense software should do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

What I dislike about Zoho Expense is that some of the workflows can feel a bit rigid at times. While the platform is powerful, certain settings and approval paths require extra steps to adjust, which can slow things down when you’re trying to make quick changes. The mobile app, although convenient, occasionally feels less responsive than the desktop version, especially when uploading multiple receipts in a row. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Expense solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zoho Expense solves the biggest pain points in managing receipts, approvals, and reimbursements by bringing everything into one streamlined, automated workflow. Instead of chasing down paper receipts or manually entering data, the system captures and organizes expenses instantly, which eliminates errors and saves a significant amount of time.

It also simplifies compliance and policy enforcement. The built‑in rules, automated approvals, and audit‑ready reports ensure everything stays consistent and transparent, reducing back‑and‑forth communication and helping avoid costly mistakes. On top of that, the integration with accounting tools keeps financial data accurate and up to date without extra manual work.

Overall, the benefit is a smoother, faster, and far more reliable expense‑management process — one that frees up time, reduces administrative stress, and gives better visibility into spending across the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brilliantly Flexible Receipt Scanning That Keeps Me Organised"

5/5

What do you like best about Zoho Expense?

I love that you can upload multiple images, or simply take a picture of the receipt. The flexibility of this app is brilliant and the way it helps me organise is exactly what i was looking for. Claude was the one to recommend this app and it is spot on. The way I can enter currencies during my trip and it all converts to one designated currency is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

So far it all works well, I'm just starting to use it, so I haven't found anything missing as yet. Perhaps one thing I need to learn is how to add the floating deposit as a base to all trips, right now I have added it to a specific trip - I need to figure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Intuitive Expense Management with Seamless Zoho Integrations"

5/5

What do you like best about Zoho Expense?

What I like most about Zoho Expense is how simple and intuitive it is to use. Submitting expenses, getting approvals, and tracking reimbursements are all well structured and easy to follow, which saves a lot of manual effort. The automation for receipt scanning and policy checks also helps reduce errors, and the smooth integration with other Zoho applications makes the entire expense management process feel seamless and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

There aren’t many major drawbacks, but during the initial setup, some of the more advanced features can occasionally take a little time to fully understand. I also think a few minor UI tweaks could make certain settings easier to find. Overall, these are small issues and they don’t really affect the platform’s day-to-day usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Expense solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before we started using Zoho Expense, tracking employee expenses and reimbursements was mostly manual and very time-consuming, and we had limited visibility into approval status and policy compliance. We frequently ran into delays, missing receipts, and inconsistent expense reporting, which made the whole process harder to manage.

After implementing Zoho Expense, the workflow became far more streamlined and transparent. Employees can submit expenses easily, managers can review and approve them quickly, and the finance team has clear, real-time insight into spending. As a result, we’ve reduced manual follow-ups, improved adherence to our expense policies, and shortened reimbursement cycles. Overall, it has saved us significant administrative time and helped us keep better control over expenses without adding complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

Zoho Expense is a strong tool, but some workflows feel more rigid than they need to be. Certain settings and customizations are limited, and a few features require extra steps that could be more streamlined. It would be helpful if the system offered more flexibility in tailoring categories, automation rules, and approval flows to match different business processes.

"Zoho Expense Made Our Expense Tracking Smooth, Organized, and Transparent"

5/5

What do you like best about Zoho Expense?

I’ve been using Zoho Expense for a while now, and honestly it’s been very helpful for managing our expenses. It makes it easy to track submissions, follow up on reports, and see all spendings in one place without confusion.

Before using it, things were a bit messy and hard to follow, especially when dealing with multiple invoices and approvals. Now everything is organized, and I can quickly check the status of any expense or report.

The interface is simple and easy to use, even for people who are not very technical. Submitting expenses doesn’t take much time, and the approval workflow is clear, which helps avoid delays.

Overall, it has made the whole expense tracking process smoother and more transparent. Definitely a useful tool for any company that wants better control over expenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

Nothing in particular for now, if one thing it could be that the UI for android is different than IOS, so explaining some stuff takes twice time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Expense solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zoho Expense solves the problem of disorganized and hard-to-track expenses. Before using it, we had issues with scattered receipts, unclear approval status, and difficulty following up on submitted reports. It was time-consuming and sometimes led to delays or confusion.

Now, everything is centralized in one system. I can easily track submissions, check report status, and monitor all spendings in real time. This saves a lot of time and reduces errors.

It also improves transparency—nothing gets lost, and it’s clear who submitted what and whether it’s approved or pending. Because of this, the whole process is faster, more organized, and much easier to manage on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective Receipt Management, Needs Better Credit Card Integration"

0.5/5

What do you like best about Zoho Expense?

I like that Zoho Expense accepts almost any attachment for a receipt. It's great because people can send you a PDF, others might send jpgs, or sometimes you just need to use your phone to take a photo of a receipt or a screenshot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

At one point, our expense reports only took a few minutes because it was set up to go directly with our corporate credit cards. Now, I actually have to type in many of the full credit card statements myself. It would really benefit from being able to upload my credit card statement. I've spent a good bit of time trying to do just that, but it hasn't worked. I have one of the largest monthly expense reports at the company, and sometimes it takes over an hour. Also, our accounting department will not answer any questions that staff have asked regarding Zoho. So we kind of learn on our own just to get the expenses in on time. I don't think I would recommend it. I would look for software that integrated credit cards to make it as easy as it was when I first used it. This may be an issue with the company I work for that uses Zoho, but it would make no sense to let technology and features go backward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super Easy to Use for Foreign Expense Tracking"

5/5

What do you like best about Zoho Expense?

We are an international NGO and needed a way to track our expenses in a Brazilian Real vs our base currency of USD. Zoho Expense is the only platform we found that could do that, and it was also super easy! Our director in Brazil uploaded the app to her phone and took a picture of a recent receipt, and voila, it appeared on our web-based home screen waiting to be approved and processed. This was the answer to our dreams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

We are still in the early phase of using it and have not yet identified any dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Expense solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our expense tracking system has been very labor-intensive as it relies on manual input of receipt information. We also had no way of consistently storing receipts. Zoho Expense solves both problems by auto-scanning receipts for the relevant information and retaining a snapshot of the receipt for archival purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
