What Expensify's pricing page says
- It shows card-export settings for QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct and FinancialForce.
- It offers the Expensify Visa Commercial Card, issued by The Bancorp Bank, N.A.
- Expensify's prices aren't quoted here: its pricing page loads its plans in the browser and we couldn't read them reliably when we checked. See expensify.com/pricing for its current prices.
How Recepta differs
- A public sample page: try it on synthetic receipts with no account.
- Every AI-read field shows its confidence; reports can't be submitted or exported until a person has reviewed every expense.
- Your written policy as editable rules: category limits, receipts required, weekends, alcohol, daily allowances, age.
- Import files instead of a live accounting connection, and no company card or payments: finance pays as it does today.
What to check before you switch
- Whether import files into QuickBooks Online or Xero are enough, or you need a live sync.
- Whether you rely on a company card or reimbursement payments inside your expense tool; Recepta has neither.
- How you'll export your history from your current tool; Recepta doesn't import other tools' data.
Questions
Can I move my Expensify history into Recepta?
