Pricing
FreemiumExpensify offers a free tier (Track & Submit) with unlimited SmartScans, distance tracking, manual entry, and CSV export for individuals and freelancers. Paid business plans: Collect is a flat $5 per member per month (no annual commitment, pay-as-you-go) for teams of 1-10 covering expense tracking, corporate cards, travel booking, and chat. Control is $9 per member per month with the Expensify Card (or $18/member without it) for teams of 10-1,000+, adding multi-level approval workflows, SSO, custom fields, and deeper ERP integrations (NetSuite, Sage Intacct). Control bills only active members who create, submit, approve, reimburse, or export reports in a given month, while Collect bills all unique members. Enterprise/custom pricing is available for large organizations with complex needs.
FreemiumNumeric has three tiers. Essentials: starts at $30/month per user, billed via email/sales signup; includes project management for month-end/quarter-end/year-end tasks, segregation of duties (preparers/reviewers), holiday calendar upload, review notes and custom task categories, Slack integration with daily digest, email request automations, and a Technical AI Assistant. Growth: custom pricing, aimed at teams on QuickBooks or Xero wanting to automate month-end; includes everything in Essentials plus live ERP and file storage integration, auto-reconciliation with notifications, AI-parsing of bank statements for reconciliation, flux analysis, and CPA-led onboarding and ongoing training. Enterprise: custom pricing, aimed at teams on mature ERPs like NetSuite wanting a continuous, controlled close process; includes everything in Essentials and Growth plus ongoing transaction monitoring, custom reporting, unlimited flexible flux reporting, SAML SSO (Okta, Duo, OneLogin), live bank feed integrations, and the full Cash Management product (matching and JE automation). All plans include onboarding support, a named customer success manager, and access to Numeric's help center and templates. Contact Numeric for a custom quote on Growth or Enterprise, or via their partner program for accounting firms.

Summary
AI-powered expense management that automates receipts, reports, and reimbursements
AI-native close automation that turns visibility into action
Expensify Pros & Cons
Pros
- Free tier covers unlimited receipt scanning for individuals and freelancers with no team features required
- Concierge AI automates categorization, policy enforcement, and monthly spend analysis with minimal manual work
- Flat, transparent per-member pricing on Collect with no forced annual contract
- Extensive integration library spanning accounting, ERP, travel, and payroll platforms
- Works with cards from any bank rather than requiring a specific corporate card
- MCP support lets finance teams query live expense data from AI assistants they already use
Cons
- Control plan's per-user pricing can get expensive for larger teams with many active expensers
- Legacy pricing structures and active vs. unique member billing rules can be confusing for existing customers
- Advanced compliance and multi-entity features require the higher-cost Control tier
- Some users report the reporting/summary views could offer better monthly rollups
- Enterprise-grade configuration and workflow setup has a learning curve for finance admins
Numeric Pros & Cons
Pros
- AI (Numeric Intelligence) is embedded across the full close, reporting, and cash workflow rather than being a bolt-on feature
- Real, quantified customer outcomes: Brex's cash-match rate jumped from 30% to 90%+, DailyPay gets 80% of flux drafts from AI
- MCP connector lets technical teams build custom AI agents directly on top of Numeric's live financial data
- Backed by deep domain credibility: investors include the former CEO of BlackLine and former CFO of NetSuite
- Transparent entry-level pricing ($30/user/month for Essentials) versus the fully custom-quote model common among close-automation competitors
Cons
- No published pricing above the entry Essentials tier; Growth and Enterprise plans require a sales conversation to get a quote
- Deepest AI value (auto-reconciliation, AI-parsed bank statements, flux automation) is gated behind the custom-priced Growth and Enterprise tiers, not included in the $30/user Essentials plan
- Best suited to companies already on QuickBooks/Xero (Growth tier) or NetSuite (Enterprise tier); less clear fit for other ERPs
- As a 2020-founded company, has a shorter enterprise track record than legacy close-management incumbents like BlackLine or FloQast
- Cash Management product line is newer (launched November 2025), so it has less real-world usage history than the core Close and Analytics products
