What is Zoho Expense?
Zoho Expense is expense management software from Zoho Corporation, an Indian company headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu and has been building software since 1996. Expense reporting, corporate cards and travel management with GST capture.
Expense management software captures receipts, routes claims through approvals, enforces policy and pushes reimbursements to payroll or bank. Corporate cards and travel booking are increasingly bundled in, which changes the pricing model from per-user to interchange-funded.
A free plan is available, with paid plans for growing teams. Beyond expense management software, Zoho Expense also covers gst software. Because it is built in India, GST, INR pricing and local support hours are native rather than bolted on.
