Best for expense claims and company cards for UK teams
ExpenseIn covers receipt scanning, mileage, company cards, approvals and reimbursements, and it's built around UK businesses. No price is shown on any plan, and the things bigger teams want, like SSO and the API, sit on the dearer ones.
Who ExpenseIn is for
- Fits if you run a UK business and want claims, cards and mileage in one place
- Works for finance teams that post expenses into Xero, QuickBooks or Sage
Who ExpenseIn is not for
- Skip it if you want to see a price before booking a demo, as none is published
- Not for you if you're outside the UK, since the site is built around UK data storage and HMRC rules
- Watch out: reimbursements carry extra charges that the plans page doesn't state
- Tight if you need SSO, multi-entity or card data feeds, which start at Advanced, or the API, which needs Complete
- Tight if you want to try before talking to sales, with no trial on the listing

- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial. You book a demo.
- BFeaturesReceipt scanning, mileage with Google Maps, cards, policies, approvals and reimbursements, plus accounting links. Nothing in the core job is missing, though several extras sit on higher plans.

Keep ExpenseIn, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace ExpenseIn you would be making cards issued through a bank. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could make
- Expense tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Cards issued through a bank.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Xero, QuickBooks Online and NetSuite among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. ExpenseIn’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is ExpenseIn?
ExpenseIn is expense management software for submitting, approving, paying and reporting on expense claims. Employees capture receipts, mileage and time in a mobile app, and an optional expense card feeds transactions straight into claims. Plans are sold through a demo request, and the site publishes no prices.
Worth knowing
- No prices are published: the Core, Advanced and Complete plans all say to book a demo.
- SSO, multi-entity, custom fields and corporate card data feeds start at Advanced; the REST API, receipt verification and carbon reporting need Complete.
- Reimbursements carry additional charges, which the plans page does not state.
- The site names UK data storage and HMRC compliance, so it is built around UK businesses.
Key features
- Receipt scanning
- A photo of a receipt in the mobile app is read for amount, date and other details, and the receipt is stored with the claim.
- Mileage with Google Maps
- The app uses Google Maps to work out distance and the reimbursement for a mileage claim, and the vendor lists carbon emission calculations.
- Expense cards
- Cards have built-in spending controls and card transactions appear in the app for matching with receipts. Advanced and Complete plans list cashback of 0.50% and 0.75%.
- Policies and approvals
- Policy rules are enforced automatically, with multi-stage approval, escalation and out-of-office cover. Receipt verification is on the Complete plan.
- Reimbursements
- Approved expenses can be paid out through ExpenseIn. The plans page notes that reimbursements carry additional charges.
- Accounting and payroll integrations
- The plans page lists Xero, QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Sage products, Microsoft Business Central and SFTP file delivery, plus a REST API on the Complete plan.
