Reimgo vs Expensify
Expensify is a broad, mature spend platform: expenses, corporate cards, bill pay, travel and direct reimbursement from a funded account. Reimgo is narrower on purpose: out-of-pocket expenses, approvals and a reimbursement file your own payroll pays from. Here is how to choose.

Where Expensify is stronger
Native accounting integrations, corporate cards with card-based discounts, direct reimbursement without a payroll run, GPS mileage, travel, bill pay, and many years of scale. If you want one platform for cards, bills and travel, Expensify is the broader product and Reimgo is not trying to be it.
Where Reimgo is different
Your payroll pays
No account to fund with the vendor and nothing to reconcile with a third-party wallet. The reimbursement lands on the payslip.
Controls on by default
Second-person release of payouts, a hold on changed bank details, a frozen file and self-approval switched off are the defaults in both plans, not a higher tier.
A price that follows claims
Approvers, finance, admins and auditors are free. You pay only for the people who claim expenses.
Honest scope
No cards, no travel, no bill pay. Ledger connections cover QuickBooks Online, Xero and Zoho Books on Reimgo Connect; everything else is an export, documented column by column.
Questions
Can we move from Expensify to Reimgo?
Yes. Export your history from Expensify for your records, set up Reimgo, and start new expenses on a cutover date. Reimgo does not import historical claims. See the switching guide.
Is Reimgo cheaper?
It depends on how many people claim and how Expensify prices your workspace. Compare your own numbers: Reimgo counts only claimers, with a minimum of one.
Does Reimgo have an Expensify-style card?
No. Reimgo does not issue cards; it handles out-of-pocket expenses and prepares the reimbursement file for your payroll.
