Here's what that means. +--- +
+ +All Free plan customers have been automatically upgraded to our Collect plan. The Collect plan is a supercharged version of the Free plan you already know and love, but this upgrade unlocks several new features: +- A dedicated Setup Specialist +- Expense approvals +- Invoicing and bill pay +- Custom expense categories and tags +- Multiple active expense reports at a time +- Quickbooks Online + Xero integrations (coming soon) + +# Try it free + discount + +**The upgrade comes at no extra cost until June 1st, 2024** to give you time to try it out for free. If you add a payment card by June 1st, you’ll qualify for a special discounted rate for your first year. The discount will be applied to your Expensify bill on a sliding scale for the first 12 months (specifics of the discount are provided in the FAQs section below). + +If you have questions, reach out to your dedicated Setup Specialist using the #admins room in your chat inbox, or email us at concierge@expensify.com. + +# FAQs + +**Is the upgrade optional?** + +No, the upgrade is not optional. This upgrade ensures that every customer gets access to Expensify's best offerings and any new features going forward. + +**Does this mean Expensify will no longer be free for me?** + +Yes, but only if you want to continue using a workspace in Expensify. As always, you can still use Expensify for free without a workspace to track your expenses, chat with your friends, etc. + +**How does the sliding-scale discount work?** + +You’ll receive a discount on your Expensify bill that slowly decreases each month until you arrive at your full payment on June 1, 2025. For the first month, you’ll only pay 1/12 of the plan’s cost, and the price will gradually increase by a 12th each month. + +For example: +- July 1: The discount covers 91.667% of your bill (11/12). +- August 1: The discount covers 83.333% of your bill (10/12). +- September 1: The discount covers 75% of your bill (9/12). +- October 1: The discount covers 66.7% of your bill (8/12). +- November 1: The discount covers 58.3% of your bill (7/12). +- December 1: The discount covers 50% of your bill (6/12). +- January 1: The discount covers 41.667% of your bill (5/12). +- February 1: The discount covers 33.333% of your bill (4/12). +- March 1: The discount covers 25% of your bill (3/12). +- April 1: The discount covers 16.667% of your bill (2/12). +- May 1: The discount covers 8.333% of your bill (1/12). +- June 1: You pay the full bill amount from this month forward. + +The discount will be reflected on your monthly Expensify bill as a “Workspace upgrade discount.” The discount can be combined with any other offers you qualify for, including our annual subscription discount, Expensify Card discount, and Expensify Card cash back. + +**How do I get in touch with my Setup Specialist?** + +You can reach your Setup Specialist by opening your workspace’s #admins room in your chat inbox and sending a message. + +
