# ExpenseIn review (2026): is it worth it?

> Expense claims, receipt scanning and company cards for UK teams

Checked Nov 12, 2026 · graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA.

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.

- **Category:** Spend & Bill Pay
- **Made by:** ExpenseIn
- **Website:** https://www.expensein.com
- **Runs on:** Web, iOS, Android
- **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want to see a price before booking a demo, as none is published.
- **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026

## Pricing

ExpenseIn's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.


## 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.

## Good for

- UK organizations that want expense claims, cards and reimbursement in one system
- Finance teams that code expenses to an existing accounting package
- Charities and clubs paying one-off volunteer expenses

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** No prices are published, so there's nothing to set against the category's middle of $12 a seat. Every plan says to book a demo.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial. You book a demo.
- **Features: B.** Receipt 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. Policies, approvals and accounting links all need setting up.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, plus Xero, QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Sage and Business Central. The REST API is Complete plan only.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Expense tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Cards issued through a bank.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Xero, QuickBooks Online and NetSuite among them, and has an API.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
