Pros

“One of its biggest advantages for us is the ability to easily manage offshore expenses and transactions in multiple currencies, which is essential for an international environment.”

Fabrice e.

off shore manager

“Helps provide an organized way to manage and track all expenses, so when I get back a simple share sends all my itemized receipts to be reimbursed.”
MR

Mike R.

Manager

“I also like the mileage calculation feature, which uses maps to calculate travel distances accurately, making it easy to claim mileage expenses without any manual calculations.”
RK

Rizwan K.

ERP Solution Architect

Pros

“The user interface is an 8/10, but they definitely get five stars for their customer service.”
GL

George L.

Operations Manager

“Too many sites offering same for free”
AW

April W.

Administration

“In addition to receipt management, Shoeboxed also offers advanced features such as business card management, expense report management, and synchronization with accounting software such as QuickBooks.”
TS

Thierno S.

Human Resources Officer

Cons

“Also, when I duplicate a past expense to use as a template, it occasionally fails to carry over all the dropdown information, forcing me to manually re-select categories from a massive company list.”
MM

Michael M.

Sr Producer

“Sometimes Expensify will duplicate expenses if you aren't patient. If you take a picture or upload a receipt then simultaneously try to manually edit, it will create two duplicate expenses and not accept one of them. ”

Martin L.

VP Carrier Sales

“The interface can feel a little confusing in some areas, especially when setting up policies, approval workflows, or less frequently used features.”
SY

Shubham Y.

Product Engineer

Cons

“The app version isn't as helpful as the web version and I have only the free version because the cheapest package I saw was almost $30!”
AW

April W.

Administration

“All in all, Shoeboxed is a good solution for receipt management, but it may not be suitable for everyone due to its high cost, scanning limitations, reliance on scanning, and limited functionality.”
TS

Thierno S.

Human Resources Officer

“Geographic limitations: Shoeboxed is based in the United States, which can cause issues for international users in terms of billing and currency support.”
