How to choose the right expense tracking software

Start by naming the job-to-be-done. “Expense tracking” spans friend ledgers, freelancer taxes, and corporate reimbursements—different products, different failure modes.

Checklist

1. Who owes whom? Shared app (Hisab, Splitwise, …).
2. What did I spend for my business? Accounting or banking export.
3. Who approved this card charge? Corporate spend platform.
4. Do we need reminders? Push/SMS quality matters more than logos.
5. Can we leave? Export/delete path ( red flags).
