Change Plan Or Subscription

Expensify offers several plans based on your needs: Track, Submit, Collect, Control, and Free. Your choice depends on whether you manage expenses individually or for a group or company.

FAQ

Will I be charged for a monthly subscription even if I don’t use SmartScans?

Yes, monthly subscriptions are prepaid and not usage-based, so you will be charged regardless of activity.

I’m in a Group Workspace. Do I need the monthly subscription too?

No, Group Workspace members already have unlimited SmartScans. However, you can keep a subscription for personal use if you leave your company’s Workspace.
