Spendesk Reviews

I used this app on a business trip and it helped me to track the spendings. The app is intuitive and with a nice design, I liked that I didn’t used my own money because the company card was added to the app.

Seems that there are no analytics available on the app, but overall I have a good impression.

- No need to pay first and expense later, you can directly use Spendesk virtual credit cards!
- No risk to forgot about sending the invoice to the finance team, Spendesk directly sends you a reminder
- You can generate recurring credit cards for recurring expenses

- Some companies or website don't accept virtual credit cards (but really few of them)

It gets the job done and is usually reliable

It only gets the job done, missing some bells/whistles/features to make it better for users

Accounting used to be quite painful for us. Immediate and automatic reconciliation saves us countless hours!

It’s hard to create temporary card on mobile.

As a sales manager, I travel all the time, and a week of tickets can be a real pain to upload on any platform regardless of its friendlyness. What I love about spendesk is that you just got to take a picture of the payment, by the time you receive the printed ticked you usually have received the nofitifcation in your mobile.

The next level would be to just forget the receipts.

I need a defult for my expenses, as they usually revolve around the same possibilities, so that whenever i had to change anything, i could just modify the default option.

I love how quickly I understood the product. I didn't even need to be onboarded: everything felt very intuitive, very early on. Whenever I need to make a business expense, I don't even have to think about it twice, Spendesk makes it a breeze.

There's really little to dislike! It sometimes (but rarely) doesn't work on all payment systems but I know they're working on that.

Spendesk gave my team a lot of freedom, ownership and allowed managers to step back a bit and clear more time for other more meaningful tasks

I wanted an option to do wire transfers.

So easy and totally streamlines expensing things in my company now

The UI could be a bit better. It feels a bit empty in some parts

Before Spendesk all of our client's marketing spend was with our own corporate card. Making it hard to track and match each transaction to the according client. With Spendesk this is being done automatically so we can easily print the transaction history per client. All those costs can be calculated to the client so this is fault-prove.

Spendesk doens't work with credit, so you have to be sure to add enough funds to the account. This isn't a big problem, but with lots of marketing spend this has to be done frequently.

This is cliche, but the software just works. I really appreciate how fast it is to do all the tasks I need to do, and it really helps get my colleagues on board when it doesn't take up much of their time to upload receipts.

It is not very obvious how to have a card that can be charged multiple times, but only as a single overall process. An example is any service which takes a deposit, then final charge once manufacture is complete. This would be one purchase request and therefore one spendesk card, but needs to allow multiple individual charges to occur.
The "solution" is a subscription, but then you have to remember to cancel it or the money is reserved on the card forever.

Tool makes it extremely easy to pay our monthly subscriptions for other tools we are using to operate our business and we don't have to deal with those processes

If you get different amounts every month for different subscriptions; you would have to get the amount approved by the approvers which could be a disadvantage since payment doesn't go through if that's the case

Easy way to manage all the payments, you can change your cards like a pro.

Sometimes I need to change the amount credit allowed in a card, but once it's created, you can't change it.

- Easy to use
- Intuitive
- Easy to manage user accesses and spending policies, to avoid creating complex procedures
- Easy to upload receipts (email address for automatic matching of invoices, native app for pictures etc.)
- can integrate with accounting

All in all I think spendesk allows us to gain time and control over many administrative tasks, enabling us to focus more on our business.

- Sometimes the plastic cards fail without any reason at some shops, this is a problem because it blocks us to buy things when we need them the most (ie at the cashier of a shop). But the CS team helps fairly quickly and solves the issue.

Ease of use and speed of customer support response and help

Sometimes the cards take a few minutes to load. Also the log out time is very quick meaning you can't stay logged in to your account throughout the day.

The overall speed and straightforwardness of handling on a daily basis expenses as a field commercial.

The fact that Firefox doesn't handle the software?

-No missing receipts anymore
-Easy management of expenses
-Easy management of subscribtions
-Virtual credit-cards for purchases

-Seems to have different functionality on app and on the web app which can be confusing in the beginning.

Very easy to use, compact and clearly presented. Also, each member invited instantly gets the idea how to use it.

I would prefer the option to produce virtual credit cards for entire teams w/o having to define the supplier. That way the teams would really be enabled to determine on how to spend e.g. their team budgets w/o having to apply for a card for every single purchase.

The fact that a physical card becomes useless and that I can delegate payments and bookings to team members whilst keeping the control over the costs

The few times the generated card doesn’t work

It's great to make purchases and ideal that I need not use my own card for online payments

There was an issue with where my approvals went initially though this may be because of my direct report within the company

Software user interface, easy of use. End-to-end, very well though-trough experience and features.

Heavy pricepoint for smaller companies like us.

I am using the software for all my travel expenses. I do not work in finance, so I do not have much insight on the usability for the company overall but as an individual, Spendesk makes it extremely easy to manage my expenses.
The App helps to keep everything organised while on the road.

I have no complaints about the software. Again, I do not manage the finances for the company but for me personally, there are no cons.
