Best Expense Tracker Apps to Download

Users can complete their expense reports, track receipts, and more with Expensify. Its SmartScan technology makes it simple to keep track of receipts, even on the go. The app can automatically record, report, and submit expenses to generate real time reports. Capture a picture of the receipt and details such as merchant, date and price are automatically coded for faster reimbursement.

You get real time travel notifications for upcoming trips, delayed flights, and other details, and any changes to the itinerary are directly sent to your mobile device. Mileage tracking is included in the mix as well.

Expensify supports corporate card reconciliation and next day direct deposit reimbursement. It also has accounting integrations with services such as QuickBooks, Xero, and NetSuite.

Even though it offers a lot of mobile features, some users complain that you have to manually sort receipts to match expense reports. Others note that the app freezes sometimes, requiring them to upload receipts again.

The Zoho Expense app allows you to easily store digital copies of receipts and record expenses as they happen. You can also pin receipts to reports, sort expenses by category, and add additional data fields. It even has a built-in GPS tracker and maps so you can log mileage overheads for trips.

You can connect your credit card to the app to automatically import and manage transactions, and expenses can be batched together and sent to approving managers.

It's also possible to create per diem rates for employees and multiple currencies are supported. Enhanced analytics let you track excessive spending and keep policy violations in check.

The features are impressive, but they're not without their flaws and limitations. Some users report that the app can be glitchy at times and that it requires users to enter their information multiple times. The app doesn't integrate with many accounting software programs, which might make it time consuming for some businesses.

You can submit expenses on the go with Rydoo Expense, and reports can be sent by email, captured through a camera, and submitted via external services such as Dropbox. The app can automatically create expenses when scanning receipts, and you only have to add the extra information like project and payment method.

Rydoo can analyze credit card statements to match expenses with transactions, and detailed compliance rules can be set for employees for more accurate expense management.

But Rydoo Expense's biggest strength is its integration with other apps. It features seamless integration with ERP packages such as SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. It's also easy to migrate to Rydoo from other expense management/tracker systems.

Rydoo excels at integration, but it does fall short in some key areas. Users mention problems with the app reading receipts properly, necessitating manual entry for expenses. Others report problems with reports getting stuck in a queue and being asked by customer support to uninstall and reinstall the app.

You can set up recurring bills with QuickBooks and keep a record of bills you've paid by check. It's also possible to set up vendors, control expenses incurred, and pay multiple vendors and bills at the same time. QuickBooks can be integrated with third-party payment solutions such as PayPal, Bill.com, and Apple Pay.

QuickBooks lets you customize your invoices and sales receipts with your organization's logo, and you can better prepare for all the necessary tax deductions by providing your accountant with access. Support for more than 750 apps, including everything from inventory management systems to customer relationship management solutions, allows you to enhance the functionality of the app even further.

It's accounting software, so QuickBooks' invoice generator lets you track sent invoices even if they're in multiple currencies. You can also connect your bank account with the app and track the profits and losses of your business. Bank transactions can be reviewed and added to accounting records.

Even though QuickBooks is convenient for managing multiple bills and vendors, it's not without its flaws. Some users report that the expenses tracking feature doesn't sync well, and others note problems with photographing receipts.

A companion app for Concur solutions, SAP Concur lets you book business flights and approve travel invoices anytime and anywhere. You can use the app to quickly review and approve reports and travel requests, to add attendees to business meetings or meals, and access and manage your entire itinerary on the road.

You can additionally import data directly from credit cards. Flights, ride sharing, cabs, and hotels can be booked from anywhere. You can get customized hotel suggestions and itemized charges based on ​an estimated travel budget. You can also integrate your itinerary with the TripIt app for better management of travels.

Users have reported some glitches with SAP Concur. Some are related to uploading Uber receipts using the app. They report only being able to upload Uber receipts using the desktop version. Others note that it's difficult to enter more than one or two expenses at a time.

What gives Emburse Spend the edge is its ability to automate expense policy and approval hierarchy. Policy rules are applied to expenses before they're submitted, preventing any violations. Custom routing rules then send the expense to approver who is the best match. Emburse Spend handles the reimbursement once an expense has been approved and directly deposits it into the employee's bank account.

You can sync expenses into accounting software using either cash or accrual method, and custom analysis reports help you identify trends and manage budgets more effectively.

Some users report tech issues, a particularly serious issue given that Emburse Spend is responsible for reimbursing employees directly. Users also report problems scanning receipts.

Shoeboxed lets you track receipts, mileage, and even business cards, without needing any manual data entry operations. Just snap a picture of the receipt and the app extracts all the information from it. Receipts can be sorted into common tax categories and instantly archived.

The app supports one-click mileage tracking and lets you e-mail generated expense reports in seconds. Expenses can be further exported to other solutions such as QuickBooks, Wave Accounting, Outright, and Xero.

The most interesting thing about Shoeboxed is that converted reports are verified by humans for maximum accuracy. You can simply mail all your receipts and other paperwork to Shoeboxed in a "Magic Envelope" and they'll digitize and organize them for you. That said, you must subscribe to one of Shoeboxed's upper tier plans (Professional and Business) in order to avail the service.

The app may digitize your receipts, but some users report problems with the mileage tracker crashing. Other users report having to take pictures of receipts multiple times for the app to orient the image properly so data can be imported.
