Fyle earns a 4.6/5 from 700 reviews at a 9.3 SpotScore with a free trial, working with existing corporate and personal cards rather than issuing its own, making it easy to layer on top of an existing card program and ERP with automated receipt capture.

The main buyers are finance managers and controllers at mid-market companies processing significant employee expense volume monthly.
