Expensify down? The answer is at the top of this page. Appys checks Expensify’s official status page as you arrive, so what you see is never more than a few minutes old. Below is what to check on your side, what to do while you wait, and how to hear when it’s fixed.
Expensify down for everyone, or just you?
If the status above says Expensify is working normally but it isn’t working for you, the problem is most likely closer to home. Press Is it just me? at the top of the page: your own device and our server both try to reach expensify.com, and the answer tells you which side the problem is on.
Then try these quick checks:
- Open Expensify on another network, such as mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.
- Try a different browser or a private window, to rule out an old cache or a browser extension.
- Restart your router if lots of websites are slow, not just this one.
- Make sure your device’s date and time are set automatically: a wrong clock can stop secure connections.
- Try both the app and the website, and make sure you’re on a good connection.
Expensify down? What to do while you wait
- Check which part is affected. Expensify splits its status into 11 parts, listed under What Expensify reports on above, so a problem in one may not touch the ones you use.
- Keep screenshots or emails of bookings and tickets, so you have them without the app.
- Maps downloaded for offline use keep working without a connection.
- For urgent changes, contact the airline, hotel or driver directly.
- Keep this page open: the status changes by itself when Expensify posts the fix, so there’s no need to keep refreshing.
If it drags on and the work can’t wait, the alternatives near the top of this page are other expense tools that are working right now.
Why apps like Expensify go down
Travel apps go down after updates, at the busiest travel times, or when the map, booking or payment services they rely on have problems. Even big outages are often partial, hitting one feature, one region or one group of users rather than everyone. That’s why Expensify can work fine for you while its status page reports a problem, or the other way round.
How Appys checks Expensify
Every status on this page comes from Expensify’s official status page, where Expensify’s own team posts problems and fixes. Its status page covers 11 parts: Expensify Website And Mobile App, SmartScan, Report PDFs, Integration APIs, Outgoing emails, community.expensify.com, Support Message Deliverability, Expensify Chat and Messaging, SMS Notifications, Expensify Travel and Card Import and Feeds. Appys reads it whenever someone opens this page and regularly in between, keeps a record of every problem it posts and works out the 90-day uptime from that record. We never change what Expensify says, and nobody can pay to change a status or a record.
A quiet status page doesn’t always mean nothing is wrong: some companies post small problems late, or not at all. That’s why this page also shows how openly Expensify reports its problems.
How long do Expensify outages last?
It depends on what broke. Small problems are often fixed within the hour, while a big outage can take most of a day. The history above lists every problem Expensify has posted recently, when each one started and how long it took to fix, so you can see what’s normal for Expensify rather than guessing. While a problem is open, the latest update from Expensify is shown at the top of this page.
