Differences: SAP Concur vs. Expensify

Get the information you need to make a smart decision. Check out the differences between Concur and Expensify:

  • Concur has a confusing interface, while Expensify prioritizes a clean, intuitive interface, which makes it easy to navigate even for those who aren't tech-savvy.

  • Concur tacks on additional fees for support, but with Expensify, support is always free.

  • Concur’s pricing is based on expense report volume. Expensify keeps it simpler and more predictable with monthly user pricing.

Pricing breakdown

While both Expensify and Concur have free trials, Expensify offers customers a free plan, with features such as invoicing, bill pay, and expense reimbursements.

For those looking for more robust functionality, Expensify offers additional monthly plans that run from $5 to $18 per user, though that cost can be lowered by signing up for a free company credit card.

Concur, on the other hand, does not offer a free plan. Their base plan starts at $9 a month, and their other plans vary in price depending on your needs. It’s also worth noting that Concur tacks on additional costs for things like support, implementation, and expense reporting (as well as other features).

Whichever platform you choose can have a huge impact on your bottom line. So make sure you know what you’re getting into before signing up — no one wants pesky fees popping up at the last minute!
