    Pros
    It's a nice incentive to encourage cost savings for the company and really nice for employees if you aren't too particular about your lodgings.
    The ease of use and functionality is great and it makes it easy to track where your reports are at and when it has been approved.
    I really enjoy expensify and everything it encapsulates. It's easy, and quite frankly, effective and I recommend to everyone.
    Cons
    Our company have multiple entities in the US and in EU and expensify does not support this, the integration with xero is a mess i don't understand how does it work...My overall experience is bad.
    Criminal billing practices. I barely used the software and they are charging me for a year subscription and won't let me cancel.
    They violate their own privacy policy by sending out non-product related information to their customer base. This violates the agreement that they make you sign.
