When SnapBooks is the better fit

  • You’re one person or a small team and mostly track your own receipts.
  • You want to start free, then pay a flat price: Team is $9.99 a month for up to 10 people, where Expensify Collect is $5 per member, so a team of five pays $25 a month.

When Expensify is the better fit

  • You have many employees and need advanced policies and controls (Expensify’s Control plan).

Switching from Expensify

SnapBooks doesn’t import Expensify data directly. Most people keep their Expensify export for past years and start fresh with new receipts in SnapBooks; the free plan is enough to try it.
