COO Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "For people with significant financial modeling needs" July 20, 2021 5.0 For people with significant financial modeling needs, the platform is easy to use, and flexible. Bookkeeping software by itself is a little light on features, but the end to end package is a phenomenal value. Pros I use it pretty much exclusively for bookkeeping, which has been very good Cons Building out additional bookkeeping functionality would be great Alternatives considered [Pilot](https://www.capterra.com/p/186313/Pilot/)[QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Pry Pry was more of a one-stop shop, and gave us the basic functionality we needed. Review Source David E. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best financial planning tool --- have told dozens of other CEO friends about it" July 22, 2021 5.0 Very responsive. Super proactive. Love their product. Pros Creating scenarios that auto update based on data from quickbooks. This makes the financial planning experience much more seamless. Saves hours each week compared to the manual process of updating a google sheet. Cons Nothing, really happy with their product & service. The team has been very helpful in helping me build out models, dashboards, and analysis to include in decks and investor updates. Team is super quick with rolling out new features and functionality. Switched from [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) Wanted a simpler and more robust tool that auto updated. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love love love it" July 20, 2021 5.0 Pros I was looking at a bunch of different SaaS tools. This came closest to replacing my current excel-based system. Cons Nope, it satisfies all my needs at the moment. Review Source Justin C. Co-founder Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Flexibility and visibility" August 21, 2021 5.0 Scenario planning is convenient and helpful, especially when the team has been growing and we’d need to play around with metrics, assumptions and decision-making. After you are finished, you can also easily share with the team. Pros It’s so easy to click and drag all the cells and items around, and everything else would update in real-time. The ability to integrate with Xero and Quickbooks without losing any information or needing to re-input anything is convenient (and you can still move things around). Cons Sometimes the page loads a bit slow, but they are updating things and various functionalities pretty quickly, so that’s something we can live with. Review Source CG Christina G. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Perfect tool to help founders track runway" August 8, 2021 5.0 Pry is solving a huge pain point especially for founders without a finance background. With Pry, I always know what our runway is even in different scenarios. Knowing this, I feel rest assured and can go back to focusing on growing the company. I highly recommend reaching out to their team if you’re not sure where to start. Pros I like that I can manage all of our company’s finances in one app. We’re an early stage startup and Pry makes it easy for us to connect our bank accounts to track our expenses. We will be fundraising soon so it’s important for us to keep a close eye on our runway and plan out different fundraising scenarios and hiring needs. Cons Maybe better documentation. I don’t have a finance background so I’m still learning as I go. Review Source Jimmy D. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product that you can’t live without" August 12, 2021 5.0 One benefit is to keep us all organized and aligned through a common platform and the ability to have the required data at any time in its most updated form. We have visibility to all that is going on, how much cash we need to generate vs how much we spend, to keep the startup running. Pros I like it because it’s the way I find it easiest to keep up to date with my cashflow, something that is critical for our startup to allocate resources efficiently and optimize the cost and spend of the company (even taking into account payroll). Cons Nothing that I can think of as the customer service team has been excellent in helping me get up to speed and answer any questions I have. Review Source DR Diego R. CEO Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### " Best SaaS ever" July 20, 2021 5.0 As a startup founder, the day to day involves a lot of stakeholders engagement, the shareability of pry easily allows us to provide appropriate levels of reporting to investors and teammates and the likes. Pros Best SaaS ever, really happy with Pry. We can forecast our expenses and really see where we are today, connects seamlessly with Xero and we can provide quick reports to investors and colleagues. Cons Would love multi-currencies support to bring multiple accounts from Xero. Review Source Walter C. Cofounder Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best FP&A Tool. Period. " August 16, 2021 5.0 It helps us to stay on the same page across teams and stay streamlined in our planning process. Everyone can go to this tool and look at what is missing, what’s happening and look at the forecasting. The scenario planning is also helpful to see how the startup will perform under different circumstances. Pros The Pry team is the best at what they do combining technology & finance. Everything I need to do financial planning on Pry is there. If a feature is not available, I ask the team and they would listen to my feedback. If there is something I don’t know how to build/model out, they have knowledgeable financial analysts to guide me through. While I use most of the features, the modeling feature is my personal favorite. It’s flexible, yet very powerful. Cons I truly wish Pry had existed earlier, that is all! Review Source Ian F. Co-Founder and CEO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Replacement for Excel!" July 19, 2021 5.0 I can not only see my financial projections, but also where I should be targeting and know where my status with my company is without having to do all the manual work i used to have to do. You can also add in as many scenarios as you want, so you can compare your default scenarios and all possible ways my company can change in the future. Pros As a CEO, I have to do a lot with accounting and financial projections. Used to have to go into each of the cells in Excel and input updated data from each of my accounts and copy and paste to do scenario planning. Now Pry just brings in all my account information and runs auto calculations, and the charts and graphs just change dynamics. Cons Would be great to be able to see sales metrics Review Source Chris T. COO/Co-Founder Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Awesome Piece Of Software!" July 20, 2021 5.0 Pry has been an incredible resource for us to gain visibility into our expenses which have resulted in tracking them optimally. Being an early-stage start-up, every penny of spend is critical for managing runway, and Pry has been the best tool we've used yet to do so. Instead of identifying and labeling obscure line items in our business checking account, Pry lets us organize everything in a consistent and easily digestible manner to stay on top of everything. Additionally, and when it becomes more relevant for our business, we cannot wait to leverage the financial modeling/forecasting aspects of the software. A++ so far! Pros Ease of use and world class expense tracking capabilities Cons Nothing comes to mind at the moment really Review Source JM Joe M. Product Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect for building financial models, without hiring finance teams" July 19, 2021 5.0 Pry’s great for any company that needs to do detailed financial planning but doesn't have an internal finance person to dedicate to the task. Pros Pry is really great for building financial models. It's much faster than trying to do it in Excel and looks a lot better too -- I'm actually happy to share Pry models with my team, unlike Excel. Best of all, thanks to Pry, we didn't have to hire a finance person to build these models for us. Cons Bulk adding/removing hires is a bit slow, so if I want to investigate what may happen if we stopped hiring then that takes a bit longer than I'd like. Review Source PD Philip D. Founder / CPO Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best financial planning tool to replace spreadsheets" August 5, 2021 5.0 Being able to know what our runway is at all times has been tremendously helpful. Also, their scenario planning and dashboard features come in handy when we are ready to fundraise and present to investors. I am so glad I discovered Pry. I haven’t looked back at my spreadsheet since then. Pros I was a spreadsheets guy before I discovered Pry. My brother and I are bootstrapping our startup and we were constantly calculating our runway from our spreadsheets.We didn’t have much activity going on but it was still time-consuming to maintain our spreadsheets. What I really like about Pry is how it makes it so easy and simple to know what our runway is. They even have 4 different types of runway calculations for different scenarios. Cons It’s different from spreadsheets(in a much better, automated way) so it does take some time to get used to the tool. If you spend the time to learn the tool, you’ll get a lot more out of it. I’d rather spend a little time learning this tool than to constantly waste my time on spreadsheets again. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Better Modeling Than Hiring an Expensive CFO " August 12, 2021 5.0 After hiring an outsourced \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and weeks, we were left with an Excel sheet and no way to use it. Since using Pry, it's given us a simple understanding on how to make better informed decisions around growth, churn, hiring plans, and when we need additional capital to continue to grow and scale. Pros Pry makes it easy to build out financial and hiring models for your business. It gives the power back to our team to build out models by clicking and tinkering with the data pulled right from Xero. We love Pry! Cons Building out the calculations was a bit tricky, but their team helped us set up the right models for our SaaS company. Review Source TW Travis W. CFO Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Incredible tool for FP&A" September 23, 2021 5.0 We were trying to project our cash runway. Pry was able to do this and so much more. We have been able to create variables specific to our business which have allowed us to create realistic scenarios. Pros I honestly don't know where to start. The team at Pry knocked it out of the park. This tool is so good and would be useful to any business doing financial planning. Cons I cannot think of a thing. I wish I had known about it sooner. Review Source Josh S. CEO Renewables & Environment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "11/10 you need pry to plan your spend, period." July 21, 2021 5.0 If you are an early startup founder that just raised funding that is trying to better understand their burn, this is for you. Pros I love pry! it's the only way i've been able to confidently predict where we sit each month, and it's been huge for scenario planning around fundraising, project pivoting, roadmap development, and so many other things. 11/10 you need pry to plan your spend, period. Cons The dashboard is powerful, but would be good to see an example or two Review Source DK Daniel K. CTO Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Single app for bookkeeping and tracking finances" July 20, 2021 5.0 Getting a high level pulse on company financial health. Really important for knowing run rate. Pros Integration to Brex. Saves so much time from days of copying data into spreadsheets. Modeling is great too. Allows us to easily include basic forecasts. I prefer to do my own math when we need to help make decisions, and this is an incredibly easy way to do that. Cons Not much to dislike. It's affordable and gets the job done. Haven't looked too in-depth to payroll features yet. Alternatives considered [Wave](https://www.capterra.com/p/178021/Wave-Apps/) Reason for choosing Pry It was cheaper, and the team was smaller and I got excellent individualized customer care. Review Source HP Henal P. CEO Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Marriage of KPIs and Automated Financials " July 30, 2021 5.0 Great service. Was able to develop dashboards to monitor the health of our business Pros I love how you can build custom KPI reporting and fold that into your actual financials Cons Writing the formulas could be easier, but certainly, it's better than Excel. Alternatives considered [Lucidchart](https://www.capterra.com/p/146136/Lucidchart/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Reason for choosing Pry Easy of use, customer service, targeted capability, built for VC backed startups Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) It's 2021 Review Source AS Amrit S. CRO Biotechnology Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy and intuitive" August 10, 2021 5.0 Pros Incredibly fast set up and easy to use. I come back to Pry every week to check the financial health of our company. We set it up once and now it spits out all the data we need! Cons Nothing, wish I had started using this earlier honestly. Excel was tedious. Review Source YP Yash P. CEO Mental Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "pry is dope " October 1, 2021 5.0 Pros the UX is gorgeous, great modeling for fundraising purposes, burn tracking, integrations Cons no integration with rippling, please make an app in rippling store Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Financial Management](https://www.capterra.com/financial-management-software/) ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
