## Reviews

### "A must for any company with bill and expense approval needs" — 5.0/5

> **Helina** | *November 28, 2024* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Seamless approval process for teams. The app can handle very complex approval rules, and even coverage when people go on vacation. They are actively developing, so we're seeing lots of new features all the time. They recently added receipt capture (get your bills and receipts into the app with ease and OCR that does the data entry for you\!), and budget checking which helps approvers to confirm the expense to the overall budget without needing to jump into manual spreadsheets or accounting software. Notifications and the app make it easy to get approvals quickly and chase down outstanding approvals avoiding month end delays.
> 
> **Cons**: Until recently, we missed having the receipt capture feature. That has been solved.
> 
> We have been using the app with clients, and it has improved payment turnaround for employee expense reimbursements and vendor payments, and reduced our team's time in chasing for approvals for bills.

-----

### "Stay away there's better vendors out there." — 1.0/5

> **Dmitri** | *October 24, 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: none really, approvals are not easily customizable, you cannot setup logic to look for double billing unless its same invoice number, too simple for what the charge
> 
> **Cons**: After cancelling account they kept charging subscription, be careful to make sure you're not getting scammed like we did.

-----

### "Revolutionary Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *May 14, 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how easy it is to view invoices, purchase orders, etc. Great to see who else has reviewed and approved in the workflow. Seamless, quick and easy. Such a huge time saver, but this also ensures a clear audit trail\!
> 
> **Cons**: Search functions could improve slightly, but this is very minor.
> 
> Love this tool. It is a huge time saver, the audit trails are fantastic. Very reliable and easy to use.

### "Great Product to use" — 5.0/5

> **Cassandra** | *September 22, 2024* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ability to set approval matrixes to allow different organisational levels of approval.  Also the ability to verify supplier banking details before they could be used.
> 
> **Cons**: No real dislikes - would be handy to be able to make supplier payments directly from the platform, but not a deal breaker
> 
> Great overall experience - simple interface and intuitive.  Has flexibility for various client structures and operations, from more simple to complex

-----

### "Solid approval workflow tool that integrates seamlessly with Xero" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *March 27, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ApprovalMax is quick and straightforward to set up, with minimal configuration needed to get going and simple to use. The Xero integration works flawlessly, bills flow through without any manual workarounds. It saves significant time by replacing email-based approval chains with automated workflows, and the audit trail is thorough, logging every approval with timestamps and approver details, which makes compliance reporting much easier.
> 
> **Cons**: Some workflow configurations could be more flexible, as there are occasional limitations when trying to customise approval rules for more complex scenarios. Minor UX improvements would also help, particularly for first-time approvers who are less tech-savvy.
> 
> We use ApprovalMax for accounts payable and bill approvals, and it's made a genuine difference to how our finance team operates. What used to involve chasing people over email is now a structured, trackable process. It integrates seamlessly with Xero right out of the box, and the setup was much simpler than we expected. Overall, it's a reliable tool that does exactly what it promises.
