The software made it easy for us to track expenses and submit claims. The user-friendly interface and streamlined process saved us a lot of time and hassle. The only downside was the lack of integration with our accounting system, but it was manageable. Overall, we are very satisfied with the software and would recommend it to other organizations looking to streamline their reimbursement process. Pros I liked the software's user-friendly interface. It was easy to navigate and understand, which made the reimbursement process much more efficient. Cons I didn't like that the software didn't have an automatic integration with our accounting system. We had to manually enter data which added an extra step to the reimbursement process. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use, user experience could be enhanced in some areas " August 21, 2019 5.0 Overall I enjoy using Circula and it provides the best user experience of the tools I have used so far (SAP and WorkDay). I recommend it. Pros Circula is an easy to use software to file expenses. I like the mobile app and how it plays together with the webapp. Cons As an employee who has submitted expenses I want the ability to add a comments to my filed expenses so that I can track if the company has payed these expenses or not. I did chat with Circula support and this feature does not exist yet. I noticed that some of my co-workers had issues setting up their account. The cause was them trying to register without having received an invite from another user / admin. This path leads to a dead end. Switched from [SAP Concur](https://www.capterra.com/p/380/Concur-Expense/) Switched company. Used SAP and WorkDay before.

Network administrator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Game Changer for Business Reimbursements" July 12, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Circula has been excellent. The platform is user-friendly and has significantly reduced the time and effort spent on managing expenses. Features like receipt scanning, mileage tracking, and quick approvals have made the process smooth and efficient. It has greatly improved transparency and accountability in our reimbursement workflows. Pros Circula makes expense management incredibly easy and efficient. The user interface is clean and intuitive, and I especially appreciated the mobile app's ability to scan receipts and auto-fill details accurately. The approval workflows are straightforward and save a lot of time for both employees and finance teams. Cons The app occasionally logs you out without warning, which can be annoying during busy days. Also, exporting reports could be more flexible, especially when filtering by custom date ranges or tags Review Source aJ achref J. cyber security engineer Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "cyber security engineer " April 1, 2025 4.0 Pros it\`s easy and clear to use and make everything faster Cons actually due that i am new by using circula i didn\`t see any disadvantages Review Source MS Marian S.

The app is very intuitive — you can easily scan receipts, allocate costs, and add details without any hassle. Cons The categorization of expenses can occasionally be confusing if your company has custom rules or setups — a bit more flexibility here would be nice. Review Source MS Mohit S.

Pros Easy upload and if it works it is amazing Cons Sometimes I have to extract some items while my whole benefit is only a max sum. It would safe me a lot of time if this would be taken into account. Example I bought food for 40 euros and my benefit is only like 7 euros. I should not have to remove other items. It should just deduct the amount that I have on my benefit. Also I sometimes buy food for more than one meal and it would be nice to have several meals/benefits accounted for.

Pros I used Circula for the third times to submit my expenses and i really liked it. It is well structure and easy to use. Not complicated with many things. Cons The least thing i like about Circula that it is Automatically reading the documents Review Source SO Sushmitha O. Architect Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love the Automatic fill option!" October 31, 2024 5.0 When I first used this app I thought to myself wow another app! but it changed my perspective, it is the most user-friendly expense app I have used!

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Business Partner Account Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Circula benefits, great tool! " May 8, 2024 4.0 Pros The thing I like the most is how easy it is to create different compartments for different types of expenses. Cons Sometimes I will not get my receipts immediately (e.g. subscriptions), and this makes the submission process a little bit more complicated. Review Source JL Jana L. VP Finance Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Circula improved our travel expense reimbursment process a lot" May 13, 2019 4.0 At omni:us, travel expenses used to be managed via an excel template shared with employees. The system, which relied on employees making sure they submit the appropriate information, quickly found its limits due to unreadable documents, slow approval process, etc. With circula we could solve all those issues and in Germany the processes are easy and smooth now. The transfer into the accounting software of our tax consultant (datev) is super quick and easy. Pros It is easy and more or less self-explainable. The customer service is really really good and quick. Always every question/issue we have is solved within 24 hours max. Cons That it is not international. Our employees from other countries unfortunately need to use a different software as the per diems are only based on the German system. So currently we are using 2 travel expenses tools, because we hope circula will be adjusting soon for the international market as well.

" November 5, 2024 5.0 Pros The speed in which sent invoices are processed and added to expenses. Cons The time it takes for submitted expenses to reach the Final status of Approved - although this is a minor issue to me. Review Source KK Katja K. Project Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy and smooth useabilty " June 5, 2024 5.0 I really like it, because the app is so easy to use and you cannot lose parking tickets anymore. Pros The app is so easy to use! You can simly manage your trip and expenses even international. It automatically calculates everything you just have to insert the adress and the duration of your travel. Cons Scanning invoices, the app sometimes doesnt transfer all information. And scanning invoices in different currencies, the exchange rates differ often. Here it would be good to be able to adjust the cost and to be able to add fees. Review Source AT Alexander T. Controller Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fast invoice submitting possible, but could be a bit " August 31, 2023 5.0 Pros It is an easy feature for employees to submit their invoices - via a web version or by mobile phone. It is nice to upload an invoice in 3 to 5 minutes. Often OCR scanner works if the format is fine. Cons I am not 100% sure how our accounting is working with Circula and how the integration flows to the accounting tool. Sometimes it takes a bit of time that my invoices are fully approved and I receive my payout. In general, a unified invoice format would help all parties to proceed faster. Review Source AB Alexander B. Technician Security and Investigations Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fast and good" October 5, 2023 4.0 Pros Easy to use, can be operated from anywhere, clear and comprehensible Cons There's not much to complain about.

Senior Immobilienmakler Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Helpful program" February 14, 2023 5.0 I like working with circula - all good.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Accounting Manager Banking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An amazing tool I would like to recommend" May 13, 2019 5.0 I integrated with Circula a paperless process for the reimbursements for employees. During the implementation the Circula employees were very patient and answered every question I had. Pros I like the Circula employees most about the software: The customer service of Circula replies very fast and in a very friendly and professional way. The Circula Team is very open if we suggest product improvements or if we have special requests. Cons There is no API with our accounting system and with our personnel system. We work with Excel export and imports. Review Source Response from Circula October 7, 2019 Hi there, Thank you for your feedback. We offer a DATEV import which is used by majority of the companies.
