How to choose expense approval software

Decide whether you want cards. Card-led products are often free because they earn on interchange, but they require moving spend onto their cards.

Check GST capture — the ability to record supplier GSTIN and claim ITC on employee expenses is a real saving that many global tools skip.

Look at accounting sync depth: line-level export with cost centres beats a monthly CSV.

BudgetEntry pricing starts at ₹600/month in this list.

India fit20 of 49 are built in India, with GST and rupee billing handled natively.
