Which one is for you

Pick Expense Anywhere if

  • Fits if you are a large company or public body that wants expenses, invoices and cards in one system
  • Works for finance teams that run on a demo and a contract rather than a self-serve plan

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you can't see a price first, as none is published and you have to book a demo
  • Not for you if you are a small team, as there is no self-serve plan
  • Tight if you want to try before you buy, as no free plan or trial is listed
  • Watch out: the site says it works on mobile but names no app store listing, so check what the phone side actually is

Pick Rydoo if

  • Fits if your staff claim expenses in several countries with different rules
  • Works for teams of 5 or more that pay mileage and daily allowances

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you need QuickBooks or Xero sync, which starts on Pro at $11 a user
  • Not for you if you're under 5 people, since plans start at 5 users
  • Skip it if you want supplier invoices paid in the same product, as that's a separate quoted one
  • Watch out: Rydoo Cards, the API and SFTP need Business, which starts at 30 active users and is quoted
  • Watch out: Essentials and Pro bill every user, not just active ones, and monthly billing is $12 or $14

How we grade them

1.8GPAExpense AnywhereWeak2.6GPARydooGood
Value for money
CNo price is published, so there is nothing to set against the category's $7.50, $12 and $20 monthly figures. We leave it at the middle.
CGraded against its expense-tool alternatives. Ten people on Essentials cost $90 a month at $9 each, billed yearly, or $110 on Pro for QuickBooks and Xero. That's dearer than Expensify, Zoho Expense or Navan for ten, though less than Pleo.
Free plan and trial
FNothing free is listed: no plan and no trial. The vendor asks you to request a demo.
CNo free plan, but a 14-day trial of every feature with no credit card needed.
Features
BReceipt capture, policy checks and approvals, reimbursement by ACH, wire or card, invoice and PO automation, mileage and prepaid cards. The listing shows no gap in the core expense work.
CReceipts, unlimited expenses, mileage, per diems and approvals are all covered. The gaps are in the listing: accounting sync starts on Pro, Rydoo's own cards need 30 active users, and supplier invoices are a separate quoted product.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record. An enterprise rollout with approval flows and ERP connections to set up before anyone files a report.
A4.92 from 1,493 App Store ratings, the top band. Staff photograph a receipt and it becomes an expense.
Platforms and integrations
CWeb only on record, said to work on desktop, tablet and mobile, with no app stores listed and no integrations list.
BWeb, iPhone and Android, with QuickBooks, Xero, Exact Online, SAP, Dynamics, NetSuite, Uber and Slack. No desktop app is listed, and the API needs Business at 30 active users.

Worth knowing

Expense Anywhere

  • No prices are published; the vendor asks visitors to request a demo.
  • The site says the product works on desktop, tablet and mobile but does not list app stores or platforms.
  • Aimed at enterprise and public-sector buyers, so there is no self-serve plan for a small team.

Rydoo

  • Essentials and Pro start at 5 users; Business needs 30 active users and Enterprise 50, and both are priced by quote.
  • Accounting integrations start on Pro, and API access, SFTP and Rydoo's own corporate cards need Business.
  • Supplier invoice processing is a separate Rydoo accounts payable product, with four plans priced only by quote.
  • Only Business and Enterprise bill for active users alone; Essentials and Pro are charged per user.

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
