The catch
20 scans per user per month is the real ceiling — heavy expense months will hit it.
Why it made the list
Includes GPS mileage tracking on the free plan, which usually sits behind a paid tier elsewhere. Global.
How this was checked
The limits above were read directly from Zoho Expense's own pricing or documentation pages on 4 Aug 2026 — not taken from a roundup article. That distinction matters more than it sounds: 11 tools were rejected from this site specifically because the widely-repeated free-tier numbers did not survive contact with the vendor's own page.
Free tiers change without announcement, and they usually shrink. If you are reading this well after 4 Aug 2026, open the pricing page yourself before committing to anything.
