At a glance
Fyle's standout feature is real-time credit card feeds. Direct integrations with Visa, Mastercard and American Express alert it the moment a card is swiped, and it then prompts the cardholder for a receipt, including by text message reply. Sage acquired Fyle in July 2025 and also sells it as Sage Expense Management.
Best for
Teams that would rather have the receipt arrive on its own than get prompted for it within seconds, and that want payables on the same ledger.

Fit with the Sage ecosystem
None of this needs a big-bang cutover. Most teams run both tools for one cycle and compare capture rates before switching anyone off.
Neither product needs a card migration, so a side-by-side run is cheap to set up and easy to end.
Count transactions that got an itemized receipt without anyone being asked. That count is the comparison.
Open five receipts on each side and look for the line items. Ten minutes settles most of the debate.
Once card capture runs well, move supplier invoices onto the same ledger.
