Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 3 of the 13 other spend and bill pay tools we grade
Rydoo is expense management software: employees photograph receipts in its app, claim mileage and daily allowances, and send expenses through approval, while finance sets policies and matches corporate card transactions. It is built for companies with staff in several countries, with certified paperless expensing and per diem rules for more than 15. A separate Rydoo product handles supplier invoices.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Rydoo, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Staff photograph a receipt and it becomes an expense.
- 1
Best for expenses for staff in several countries
Rydoo is expense software built for companies with staff in more than one country: receipts are read by AI, mileage and daily allowances follow local rules in 15+ countries, and finance matches card spending to claims.
- 2
Paid plans start at $9 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $9 per user / month, billed annually ($12 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial with all features, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Receipt scanner app
Employees photograph a receipt and AI reads it into an expense; there is no cap on the number of expenses on any plan.
- 6
Mileage and per diems
Mileage claims are calculated from the start and end points and your rates, and Pro adds daily allowances kept compliant in more than 15 countries.
- 7
Policies and approvals
One approval level on Essentials, two levels with custom spending rules on Pro, and approvals for trips and cash advances.
- 8
A 2.6 GPA, above 3 of 13
That is against the other spend and bill pay tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Rydoo you would be making cards issued through a bank. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for expenses for staff in several countries
Rydoo is expense software built for companies with staff in more than one country: receipts are read by AI, mileage and daily allowances follow local rules in 15+ countries, and finance matches card spending to claims. It's priced per user from $9 a month. But it starts at 5 users, accounting sync needs Pro, and supplier invoices are a separate product.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Graded 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 cheaper than Pleo. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a 14-day trial of every feature with no credit card needed. |
| Features | C | Receipts, 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 | A | 4.92 from 1,493 App Store ratings, the top band. Staff photograph a receipt and it becomes an expense. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Rydoo is for
- Great if your staff claim expenses in several countries with different rules
- Handy when you pay mileage and daily allowances
- Good for teams that want a published per-user price
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Companies with employees claiming expenses in several countries
- Teams that pay staff mileage and daily allowances
- Businesses that want per-user pricing with a published price
Worth knowing
- 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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Rydoo you would be making cards issued through a bank. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 9 of the 13 other spend and bill pay tools grade higher. It costs $108 a year.
What you could make
- Expense tracking: an app builder makes this 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 is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, QuickBooks, Xero and Exact Online among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Rydoo’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.
