Everlance vs Happay (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Everlance if

• Fits if you drive for work and need a mileage log for your taxes
• Works for small firms that reimburse staff by the mile

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free, as detection stops at 30 trips a month
• Watch out: the 7-day Starter trial needs a credit card and bills you at the end unless you cancel
• Not for you if you need approval rules and policy checks, as the page doesn't say which plan carries the team features
• Pricey if you pay monthly, at $10.99 for Starter against $89.99 for the year
• Too light for fixed-and-variable-rate (FAVR) programs, which go through the sales team with no price shown

Pick Happay if

• Fits if you are an Indian company that needs GST-aware expense reports
• Works for finance teams that want prepaid cards and travel in one platform

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you can't see a price, as none is published and the pricing page errors out
• Not for you if you operate outside India, as the GST and tax features are Indian
• Tight if you want a self-serve trial, as the site only points to a demo
• Watch out: the apps are on the India App Store and Google Play, as two separate apps for expenses and travel

Everlance

• The free Basic plan tracks mileage manually only; automatic trip detection starts on Starter.
• The pricing page does not say which plan carries the team features such as admin dashboards and approval flows, so check before buying for a team.
• FAVR and fixed monthly allowance programs are arranged through the sales team, not priced on the site.
• The trial needs a credit card and moves to a paid plan unless canceled.

Happay

• Happay publishes no prices; its pricing page returns an error and the site points to a demo request.
• The site is aimed at enterprises and India, and its GST features apply to Indian tax.
• The listed mobile apps are in the India App Store and on Google Play, as separate Expense and Travel apps.
