Quilometragem vs Expensify

Compare Quilometragem and Expensify's mileage module on pricing, GPS, audit trail, multi-currency, and team workflows. Free migration guide.

Quick verdict

Expensify is the broad expense-management platform with a built-in mileage feature. Quilometragem is the focused mileage-first product with a tamper-proof PDF and native Clara CSV. Pick Expensify if you want one platform for everything; pick Quilometragem if mileage is your specific pain and you want a sharper tool.

Expensify is the giant in expense management — millions of users, deep integrations with QuickBooks/Xero/NetSuite/Sage, robust policy engine, and a mileage feature bundled in. For companies that want a single platform, it's a compelling choice.

The trade-off is that the mileage feature is a side dish. The depth that Quilometragem brings — tamper-proof SHA-256 hashes, multi-currency receipts including BRL/MXN/COP, native Clara CSV, immutable audit log — is not the focus of Expensify's product roadmap. And Expensify's pricing scales with workspace size; small teams sometimes find it expensive for the mileage use case alone.

Quilometragem is for teams who want a sharper mileage tool and pair it with whatever expense system they already have (Clara, Brex, Ramp, or Expensify itself).

Scenarios

Mid-size company already on Expensify for expenses
Adding mileage is essentially free incremental value. Stay on Expensify for mileage. Add Quilometragem only if you need tamper-proof PDFs or LatAm tax tooling.
Company on Clara for expenses, mileage is a pain
Reps drive a lot, finance team hates the manual mileage cleanup. Quilometragem. Native Clara CSV is the killer feature.
Multinational US/BR/MX team
Need country-specific tax tooling. Quilometragem. Expensify is broadly multi-currency but lacks Receita and SAT depth.
Small startup, no expense tool yet
Need everything in one app. Expensify. The all-in-one is worth the price for a 5-30 person team.
Compliance-heavy field-service team
Need tamper-proof mileage records. Quilometragem. SHA-256 hash on every receipt.

Migration

Step 1: in Expensify, open Reports → Export → CSV → filter to mileage entries only.

Step 2: in Quilometragem, Dashboard → Import → Expensify CSV. Our importer recognizes the Expensify mileage column layout.

Step 3: confirm the per-mile rate and import.

Step 4: continue using Expensify for general expenses if you want; Quilometragem becomes your mileage-specific layer that exports cleanly into Expensify or your other expense tool.

Conclusion

Expensify is the all-in-one; Quilometragem is the focused mileage layer. Many companies use both — Expensify for general expenses, Quilometragem for mileage with its tamper-proof archive.
