Billing Overview
Expensify’s billing is based on monthly member activity. You’ll be charged for the previous month’s usage at the beginning of each month. Your bill depends on:
- Plan type: Annual subscription or pay-per-use.
- Expensify Visa® Commercial Card usage: Discounts are available based on your card spending.
How Billing Works
- Billing occurs on the first of each month for the previous month’s usage.
- Only Group Workspace owners are billed.
- View billing receipts in:
Settings > Account > Payments > Billing History.
Tip: Designate one billing owner for all Group Workspaces to streamline billing management.
What is an Active Member?
An active member is anyone who performs any of these actions in Expensify during a month:
- Chats
- Creates, submits, approves, reimburses, or exports a report
- Uses the Copilot feature to take an action in another user’s account
Annual Subscription
Key Benefits:
- Save 50% per active member compared to pay-per-use billing.
- Collect plan: $10 per member (vs. $20).
- Control plan: $18 per member (vs. $36).
- Set your monthly active member count upfront and pay a fixed rate.
How It Works:
- You’ll be billed for the number of members set in your subscription.
- Extra active members beyond your subscription size are charged at the pay-per-use rate.
Example:
- Plan: Control
- Subscription size: 10 members
- Cost: $18/member x 10 members = $180/month
- Scenario: 12 active members in one month
- Cost for additional two members: $36/member = $72
- Total bill: $252

Reductions are only allowed after your current subscription ends.
