description: Expensify 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. | ||
At the beginning of each month, the workspace's Billing Owner is billed for the previous month’s activity. | ||
Your Expensify bill is determined by the following: | ||
- The number of active members in your workspace | ||
- Whether you have a Collect or Control plan | ||
- Whether you’re on pay-per-use or an annual subscription | ||
- Whether you’re using the Expensify Visa® Commercial Card | ||
|
||
--- | ||
# 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. | ||
An active member is any member who creates, submits, approves, reimburses, or exports a report in Expensify in a given month. This includes Copilots and automatic actions by Concierge. | ||
|
||
**Tip: Designate one billing owner for all Group Workspaces to streamline billing management.** | ||
Your billing receipts can be viewed under **Settings** > **Account** > **Payments** > **Billing History**. We recommend appointing a single billing owner for each Group Workspace. | ||
|
||
--- | ||
## 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 | ||
|
||
**Adjustments:** | ||
- You can increase your subscription size by extending your subscription period. | ||
- Reductions are only allowed after your current subscription ends. | ||
--- | ||
# Pay-Per-Use Billing | ||
- Charges apply at full rates with no discounts. | ||
- Collect plan: $20 per active member. | ||
- Control plan: $36 per active member. | ||
## Annual Subscription + Expensify Card | ||
|
||
--- | ||
# How the Expensify Card Reduces Your Bill | ||
Save the most money on Expensify by pairing an annual subscription with the Expensify Visa® Commercial Card. Then, if at least 50% of your total settled US spend in a given month is on the Expensify Card, you’ll pay the best possible price for Expensify: | ||
|
||
## Bundling Benefits: | ||
- Combine an Expensify Card with an annual subscription for the lowest price per member. | ||
- Spending at least 50% of your total settled US spend on Expensify Cards earns a further 50% discount. | ||
- **Collect Plan:** $5 per active member per month | ||
- **Control Plan:** $9 per active member per month | ||
|
||
## Discount Breakdown: | ||
- Collect plan: $5/member. | ||
- Control plan: $9/member. | ||
**You also get cash back!** Earn 1% cash back on all Expensify Card purchases or 2% if card spending reaches $250,000 or more monthly (for US purchases only). Cash back first applies to your Expensify bill, with any remainder deposited directly into your bank account. | ||
|
||
## Additional Savings: | ||
- Earn 1% cash back on Expensify Card purchases. | ||
- 2% cash back if total card spend exceeds $250k (US purchases only). | ||
- Cashback is first applied to your bill, reducing costs further. Any surplus is deposited into your bank account. | ||

## Annual Subscription vs Pay-per-use | ||
|

# FAQ | ||
**Annual Subscription** | ||
|
||
You get a 50% discount with an annual subscription: | ||
|
||
- **Collect Plan:** $10 per active member per month | ||
- **Control Plan:** $18 per active member per month | ||
|
||
If your active members exceed your subscription size, additional members are billed at the pay-per-use rate for that month. You can increase your subscription size at any time (extending your annual term) but can only reduce it once your current subscription period ends. | ||
|
||
**Pay-per-use** | ||
|
||
Rates for pay-per-use plans are applied at full price: | ||
|
||
- **Collect plan:** $20 per active member per month | ||
- **Control plan:** $36 per active member per month | ||
|
||
## What if less than 50% of the spend is on Expensify Cards? | ||
Discounts are applied on a sliding scale based on your Expensify Card spend percentage. | ||
# Transfer Ownership of Billing | ||
|
||
**Example:** | ||
- Annual subscription discount: 50% | ||
- Expensify Card spend (US purchases): 20% of total spend | ||
- Expensify Card discount: 20% | ||
- Total savings: 70% discount on the per-member price for that month. | ||
If another member needs to own the billing on a given workspace, they must first be a Workspace Admin. Then, from their account, the Admin will head to **Settings > Workspaces > [Workspace Name] > Members > [Current Workspace Owner] > Transfer Ownership**. | ||
|
||
From there, the new billing owner will add a payment card and be charged for the member activity on the workspace on the first of the month. |
