The Xpenses alternative with live sync instead of CSV export
Snap the receipt, AI extracts vendor, date and VAT. The entry appears seconds later in Bexio, Topal, Banana or Abacus.
Why teams switch
Mobile
Web-centric architecture
Xpenses is web-centric with a mobile companion. Expensly is mobile-first with a web dashboard as the companion, not the other way around.
Sync
File-based export instead of API sync
Xpenses integration is CSV/XML/TAF export-based. No direct Bexio API sync as standard (as of May 2026).
Independent
Accounting independence as architecture
Expensly stays accounting-independent. Bexio, Topal, Banana, Abacus all on equal footing. The Soreco stack is one option, not lock-in.

Pricing on the website, not in a quote
Expensly lists the price directly on the pricing page: from CHF 10 per user per month. Xpenses requires you to get in touch for a quote, with an evaluation process that runs through sales. Teams that want to decide quickly choose Expensly.
Mobile-first instead of web-first
Expensly is built for the moment a receipt is created: at a restaurant, on a platform, in the office. Xpenses is designed as a web platform with a mobile companion app, the order of development priorities is reversed.
Straight into accounting
Expensly posts receipts via API directly to Bexio, Topal, Banana and Abacus, no CSV import detour. Xpenses relies on file-based exports into the ERP system.
