Twelve months ago we announced our partnership with CPA.com, the business wing of the AICPA, and were wondering "how big a deal is this?" Well, the subsequent 12 months have been exhausting, with constant upgrades, optimizations, fixes, and refinements to keep everything running (mostly) smoothly at an ever-increasing scale. We rewrote almost all of our accounting integrations to be even more magical, and finished our one-click, realtime expense report flow: just scan the receipt, put your phone away, and we do everything else.
More companies and accounting firms manage their expenses through Expensify than any other software in the world, and while there are still a few esoteric cases we can’t handle, in practice we’re ready to roll "out of the box" for almost any company or client under 1000 employees (and can handle most companies above that with a bit of easy customization).
We are upgrading all our hardware inside all datacenters to make things lightning fast and rock solid. I realize everybody says that. But cliche or not, we’re doing it, because our customers have made it clear we’re not just some random product you can ignore if it breaks. This is an essential accounting service, and like power, water, and internet, it needs to work fast and reliably, every time. Additionally, we are doubling down on our bank connectivity. And I don’t just mean commercial card feeds (as our enterprise customers expect) or personal card import (as our individual users demand). I mean the small business company cards like American Express OPEN that have "sub-accounts" -- company paid cards assigned to employees.
We also now offer two options:
- The first option, and the default for all new customers, is an annual subscription for at least one active user per month. This is priced exactly as Expensify has been since 2014: $9 per active user per month. From the perspective of an existing customer who chooses this option, there is basically no change: if you have 5 active users every month, an annual subscription for 5 active users will still cost $45/mo. Even if you have a different set of 5 active users every month, the cost is still only $45.
- The second option is "Flex" billing for $18 per active user per month, without any annual commitment. Though $18 is obviously higher than $9, the lack of annual commitment makes this a more cost effective option for occasional users to get the full power of Expensify without needing to make an unnecessarily long commitment.
Both options still include up to a 6-week, no-strings-attached free trial -- no credit card needed. But if for some reason your setup drags on past 6 weeks, we’re asking for some token sign of commitment to keep the conversation prioritized on our side.
This new subscription billing model has already gone into effect for new customers joining us in 2018, and is the default model for all future billing. Please read our help documentation to learn more -- or just start a free trial and then ask Concierge for details. It’s fast, easy, requires no credit card, and costs nothing to start.
