Take A Hike Expense Tracker

by Jason Wilk on October 9, 2008

  • Meet ExpenseTacker, an online expense tracking system that lets you record transactions by calling a phone number and saying a few words about your purchase.
  • All of your recorded transactions are recorded in n online banking style format
  • The service costs $15 a month ($10 if you buy six months at a time
  • ExpenseTracker, meet Expensify and Mint
    • Expensify, a free service, sends you a proxy credit card that links to any bank account you would like. They show you your purchases in an easy to read online display and lets you send expense reports to whomever needs to see or reimburse your purchases (employers, family, perole officers, etc.)
    • Mint is a similar service to yourself with detailed expense analytics and a revenue model supported by service provider reccomendations.
  • Also, here are 18 competitors .

Basically, i just don’t see how the dial in feature is enough to differentiate you, let alone help you at all. On top of that, you are charging for your service, where these services that require no phone calls have far superior technology, UI and are free. I just call it how I see it.

    Thanks for calling it as you see it! Speaking form myself, the idea of a calling-in the expenses is something I would do versus taking the time to type them into another tracking system.

    Most all the competition you refer too require one to sit at computer and spend time doing data entry. This is where I fall down every time!

    Pleas nun are proactive enought ot give me an update regarding what I have left in my budget while I'm out in the mall or out in general.

    Additionally in non-techie...all I have to do is know how to use my cell phone and call an 800 number!
