Zoho Expense
Expense reporting doesn't have to be painful. Zoho Expense is a perk for employees, managers, and finance teams. Automate travel and business expense reporting, streamline approvals, gain spend visibility and control.

Concur and Zoho Expense, it turns out, are much like two slightly different types of intergalactic travel—both will get you where you need to go, though one might involve more stars, planets and expense reports than the other. They both help you track and manage expenses, let you snap photos of receipts (just in case you've forgotten how that works) and promise to make your financial life easier with mobile apps. There's also the bonus of multi-currency support, which, if you're going to spend your money on a trans-dimensional trip, is probably quite handy.

But if you're looking for something more robust, Concur has that corporate spaceship vibe down. It’s been around since 1993, which means it probably knows a thing or two about how to wrangle large enterprises. The added bonus? It does travel management as well—because why settle for just a simple expense report when you can also plan your entire work trip, including how to handle the taxes and the VAT, all in one place? Oh and it’s American, which might mean it has slightly more flair for the dramatic in its analytics.

Meanwhile, Zoho Expense is like the plucky young sidekick in the galaxy of financial tools. Launched in 2015, it’s aimed at small to mid-sized businesses, offering a more straightforward, budget-friendly way to handle expenses without all the corporate fluff. It’s Indian, but don't let that fool you; it does automation in a way that makes you think a robot might be quietly working in the background, streamlining your entire expense process. Just try to resist the temptation of adding it to your CRM suite for the full experience—it’ll make you feel like you’ve been operating on a different planet entirely.
