Jefe de equipo BIM Construction ### "Zoho Expense en la gestión financiera de proyectos: control eficiente con ciertas limitaciones" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 30, 2026 La experiencia general con Zoho Expense ha sido positiva en términos de control de gastos y eficiencia administrativa. Permite centralizar la gestión de costes y mejorar la visibilidad financiera del proyecto. Sin embargo, como BIM Manager, su uso es complementario, ya que no interactúa directamente con modelos ni procesos técnicos, sino que apoya la gestión económica dentro del ecosistema del proyecto. Pros Zoho Expense es una herramienta sólida para la gestión de gastos corporativos, especialmente útil en entornos donde se requiere control detallado de costes, reembolsos y políticas de gasto. Su automatización en la captura de recibos, categorización y generación de reportes facilita la administración financiera. Desde un enfoque de gestión de proyectos, aporta transparencia y trazabilidad. Cons Una de las principales limitaciones es su falta de integración directa con plataformas BIM o herramientas técnicas de construcción, lo que obliga a gestionar la información financiera de forma paralela. Además, algunas funcionalidades avanzadas están restringidas a planes superiores, y la personalización de ciertos reportes puede resultar limitada en comparación con soluciones más especializadas en gestión financiera de proyectos complejos.

Jasmine R. Owner Arts and Crafts ### "Great for small businesses" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 18, 2026 It is great to be able to keep track of all of my supplies and other expenses. I love being able to see the receipts and categorized them where needed. Pros I love being able to do all of book keeping for my crafting business. I am able to track everything I need to manage all my expenses. Cons The only thing that is inconvenient is having so submit requests. I don't have employees, I am a sole-proprietor, I am the one submitting the receipts, and the only one doing the book keeping. It's just an extra step I am having to go through. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) I was not able to track my cash on hand nor have a petty account without having to upgrade from the Sole-proprietorship plan. Alternatives considered [Wave](https://www.capterra.com/p/178021/Wave-Apps/) Reasons for choosing Zoho Expense Wave didn't quite do everything I needed to even with there paid plan.

I'm officially switching. I find it far easier to work with and the price is better, the perfect combo. Pros easy! The scans work great, as do emails. I can set up reports and categorize with no issue. And I love the price! Cons I don't like how corporate cards can't be set for reimbursement. And deleting cards proved difficult. There's a bit of a learning curve. Switched from [Expensify](https://www.capterra.com/p/97594/Expensify/) bad customer service and price and confusion Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

AU Anonymous User Accountant Wholesale ### "I'm happy with zoho expense" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 2, 2026 Actually, my company was using a manual petty cash process, but after we started using Zoho Expense, the process has been seamless. Pros The fact that I don’t need to post petty cash expenses after they have been approved, that the comment section can be used for internal communication, and that all approvers are notified. Cons None for now. I would recommend the Zoho accounting package to small business owners because it is easy to understand and use.

The benefits outweigh the cost of the product for our internal team. Pros I liked the integration with Quickbooks Online the best, it makes our life way easier to have an expense tool that doesn't have bugs Cons The demo process was a struggle with connecting.

I've tried other apps and had too many problems with them - Zoho just works! Pros Streamlines expense approvals which frees up valuable time for us. Great interface, fair price, checks nearly every box we were looking for. Cons There's one feature that would be huge that's hard to find in an expensing apps: The ability to automatically match when there are multiple charges for one receipt, or multiple receipts for one charge. This functionality would be huge for us! Alternatives considered [Expensify](https://www.capterra.com/p/97594/Expensify/) [Sage Expense Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/162066/Fyle/) Reasons for choosing Zoho Expense Expensify did not handle the issue of matching multiple transactions to one receipt, or multiple receipts to one transaction (something we find happens with Amazon and Costco orders). Sage looked promising, but there was no trial available, and recent reviews indicate that the platform has become buggy and frustrating to use.
