Do I still need a CSV import into my accounting with Expensly?

No. Expensly posts receipts directly to Bexio, Topal, Banana and Abacus. With Spesen-App, you export CSV, PDF or Excel and then re-enter the data in your accounting.

Can Expensly convert foreign currencies?

Yes. Expensly converts foreign-currency receipts to CHF automatically, same scope as Spesen-App, with direct hand-off to your accounting.

Are there multi-step approvals for larger teams?

Yes. Expensly ships team manager, finance lead and fiduciary as configurable approval stages, pre-installed. Spesen-App requires per-team configuration or higher tiers (as of May 2026).

Can I manage multiple clients as a fiduciary?

Yes. Expensly supports multi-client mode with a single login. Spesen-App stays bound to one company per installation.

Is Expensly more expensive than Spesen-App?

Yes, Expensly costs CHF 10 per user per month, Spesen-App Pro CHF 3 per user per month. The difference often pays for itself through the manual accounting work saved, which Spesen-App still requires.

Why teams switch

Reimbursement

No reimbursement workflow

Spesen-App produces PDF/CSV lists. Who gets paid back and when is sorted out outside the app, in payroll or banking.

Approval

No approval process

Spesen-App offers no approval process. For larger companies, the four-eyes principle is a must.

Multi-client

No multi-client capability

Spesen-App is locked to one company per install. Entrepreneurs running several companies need a separate login per client.
