3 reasons to upgrade from Expensify to Airbase.

Touchless expense reporting.

Airbase automatically populates your expense request details using OCR technology. Built-in ML extracts all necessary fields, GL category, date, amount, and merchant/vendor and generative AI assigns a purpose based on past patterns.

Expensify’s SmartScan functionality lacks advanced capabilities.

Advanced intake and workflows.

Airbase supports a complete intake-to-pay process. Finance gets total visibility and control from the initial request through to reconciliation — for all types of spend. Powerful workflows and AI keep tasks running smoothly and compliantly.

Expensify simply makes expense reporting digitized. All else is secondary.

With Expensify, free isn’t free.

Expensify’s business model is to earn fees on your card spend and take margin from your international FX. Airbase was software-first from the start.
Airbase customers get dedicated onboarding and live support (not just bots).

The more you use Airbase, the more value you get.

“It doesn’t get any easier.”

Very user-friendly with lots of functionality designed for frequent users. The interface and recognition tech built in makes it so you barely have to key anything in.

Airbase + Growth Company.

Airbase has transformed our ability to efficiently process, report, and analyze all non-payroll spend. It syncs directly with our GL (NetSuite) and provides the appropriate level of financial controls for our size/stage.

Airbase we love it!

  • The accounts payable function is the best. From approvals to actual bill pay, it is super easy to use and set up.
  • We love the GL integration into NetSuite — saves us tons of time in reconciliations.
  • Virtual Cards are awesome as well. It takes seconds to set up and immediately syncs to our GL.
