Both scan receipts and export for taxes. CompanyReceipts is cheaper, scans on-device, and is built for people who run one or several small businesses. Expensify does more for large teams that need corporate cards and reimbursements. Here's the honest breakdown.

For most individuals and small teams, yes. CompanyReceipts Pro is $3.99/month for unlimited scanning, and its Teams plan is a flat $6.99 per user per month. Expensify's paid plans typically run from about $5 up to $36 per user per month depending on tier (Collect vs Control) and whether you use the Expensify Card. If you don't need corporate cards and bill pay, CompanyReceipts is usually the lower-cost choice.
Three things stand out: on-device receipt scanning (faster and more private, with no per-scan limits on paid plans), true multi-company separation built into the core (ideal if you run several LLCs or a side hustle), and simpler, flatter pricing. It's designed for contractors, the self-employed, and multi-business owners rather than large finance teams.
Expensify offers corporate cards (the Expensify Card), bill pay and reimbursements, and deeper two-way integrations with a wider range of accounting and HR platforms. If your company needs issued cards, employee reimbursements, and enterprise controls, Expensify covers more of that workflow.
For freelancers, contractors, gig workers, and owners of one or several small businesses, yes — it captures, reads, categorizes, and exports receipts for taxes at a lower price, and keeps each business's books separate. For a larger company that needs corporate cards and reimbursements, Expensify may fit better.
Yes. Start free, scan your receipts (or forward them in on the Cloud plan), and export a PDF or QuickBooks/Xero CSV whenever you need. There's no lock-in — your data exports in standard formats.
