Expensify launches free Submit plan with 25 monthly SmartScans per user
What happened
Between the Aug 17, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 captures of Expensify's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Expensify added a new free 'Submit' plan positioned before Collect, offering 25 SmartScans/month per user, expense reports, categories/tags, custom distance and tax rates, and personal card transactions. Pulse files it as a packaging change (new plan) with an upward direction. The current page lists Collect at $5.
It lands 143 days after Expensify's previous change, "Expensify restricts Gusto and Zenefits integration to Control plan" (Apr 3, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Expensify Shifts HR Integration Partner from Zenefits to TriNet, Enhancing Payroll and Benefits Management" (Q3 2025), "Expensify Removes SmartScan Limit for Free Tier, Offering Unlimited Scans to Individuals" (Q2 2025) and "Expensify Clarifies QuickBooks Integration in Collect Plan, Enhancing User Understanding and Experience" (Q3 2024). Expensify has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Zoho, Ramp and Paychex also changed their Finance & Accounting pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
