Hear from teams who switched
“Prior to ITILITE we were booking on various sites, faced high response times, and job costing at the end of the month was a nightmare. ITILITE has completely eliminated all these issues with their one platform solution.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the core difference between ITILITE and Expensify?
ITILITE is a travel-native management platform, built for booking, modification, and 24/7 human support across flights, hotels, and cars from day one. Expensify is primarily an expense-and-corporate-card platform that added travel in 2023 by reselling Spotnana's booking engine, so travel is a newer, third-party-powered layer on top of its core product.
Does Expensify charge to talk to a human travel agent?
Yes. Per Expensify's travel terms, using a live agent to change, cancel, or modify a trip triggers a $25 per-trip support fee (or the difference above the trip fee already paid). ITILITE includes 24/7 in-house human support at no extra charge, with under-30-second response times.
What does Expensify Travel actually cost per trip?
Expensify charges a $15 trip fee per booking, and a $25 per-trip fee when a human agent handles a change or cancellation. ITILITE charges a flat $10 per trip with support, modifications, and integrations included, no surcharge for reaching a person.
Who actually powers Expensify's travel booking?
Expensify Travel is built on Spotnana's Travel-as-a-Service platform, and Expensify's own terms state that Spotnana's terms take precedence in the event of a conflict. ITILITE owns its travel platform end-to-end, so booking, support, and accountability sit with one company.
Is there a limit on how long a trip can be in Expensify?
Yes. Expensify's travel terms cap a single trip at 21 days. ITILITE does not impose a fixed trip-length cap, which matters for longer assignments and multi-leg itineraries.
Can I book different airlines for the outbound and return legs through itilite?
Yes. ITILITE shows all airline fares on both legs independently, so travelers can mix carriers to get the best fare on each leg.
