Zoho Expense helps organizations capture business expenses, organize them into reports, route approvals and manage spend. Receipt capture uses AI-powered OCR; Standard supports itemized capture in more than 38 languages. That plan also includes corporate card management and real-time Visa and Mastercard feeds. Premium adds employee self-booking, global hotel and flight inventory, guest booking and a travel desk management tool. Listed integrations include QuickBooks, Sage, Xero, Oracle, SAP, Zoho Books, Zoho CRM, Slack and Microsoft Teams. The service is available on Android, iOS and the web, with an API also listed. Free supports up to three users and 20 receipt scans per user each month. Standard starts at $3/user/mo billed annually and allows 200 scans per user monthly; Premium starts at $5/user/mo billed annually and allows 1,000. A 14-day trial requires no credit card information. Zoho says customer data is encrypted at rest and in transit and logically separated, and lists ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR among its standards.
