Expensify Chat

The free business chat app for better collaboration

TL;DR Expensify Chat is a free chat tool built into New Expensify that helps self-employed professionals and small businesses collaborate more efficiently with their teams, customers, clients, vendors, and suppliers. 

If you're a sole proprietor or small business, you probably use a bunch of different apps to keep in touch with your team, customers, clients, and vendors. Email, phone, text, WhatsApp, Google Chat, etc. – whatever you need to do to get the job done. 

You’re probably also dealing with different communication styles across the board. Your team uses Google Chat because it comes with your email. One client only answers texts, another vendor lives in their email inbox, and so on. It’s challenging to keep straight, but it’s also the best way to ensure a quick response.

Long story short, there’s a ton of fragmented, unstructured messaging across many channels and plenty of ways for things to get missed. It’s not a good look and is stressful to deal with.

So, you look for a more robust tool like Slack or Microsoft Teams to keep all your communications in one place, but they’re either too costly or complex. The other options feel too basic to warrant a switch. Enter Expensify Chat.

What is Expensify Chat?

Expensify Chat is the free business chat app built into New Expensify that keeps all your communications in one place. It allows you to message anyone in the world without requiring them to download a new app.

Expensify Chat is built for all self-employed professionals and small businesses who want a more efficient and productive way to collaborate with their teams, customers, clients, vendors, and suppliers.

Even better, every chat experience includes money functionality, making your work and personal financial life easier. So you can track business expenses in a chat with your accountant, send invoices in a chat with your client, and split bills in a group chat with your friends, and so much more – all in one app.

What are the benefits of using a structured chat platform?

  • Faster collaboration - Get quicker responses with a realtime business chat app that meets people where they’re at, whether by email or text. And they can respond from there.

  • Fewer channels -  Consolidate all your communications in one place so you don’t miss a message. No more switching between apps. 

  • More organization - Separate your conversations into topic-based threads, groups, or rooms to keep them focused and productive.

  • Greater visibility - Invite anyone to participate in a chat simply by mentioning them. From there, they can view what was said and leave their thoughts.

  • Better documentation - Previous discussions are stored securely as long as you need them for easy reference in the future.

  • Increased efficiency - Say goodbye to slow replies, missed messages, and information silos. Structured chat brings a new level of organization to your work (and personal) life.
