August 9, 2024

5.0

Fantastic support, a lot easier to use than what we were doing previously.

Pros

95% of our issues have been solved by implementing Budgetly. My old process took me 80% longer than the current process which is a massive benefit to me personally and the business

Cons

I'd love to be able to send automated receipt reminders.

### "Budgetly’s a life saver!"

June 16, 2024

5.0

11/10 Customer Service! If I send an email, I always get a follow-up call and help whenever I need it.

Pros

Budgetly has completely taken cash out of the equation. It’s given our staff more control, they’re no longer anxious about having to carry a lot of cash and don’t need to worry about rationing this out for an entire month. The fluidity of changing budgets instantly is amazing. Our staff are so much more confident to use their funds which is excellent for the business. We can now also track exact costs per business unit, which has made a massive difference in the back end.

Cons

It would be great to have a pin on virtual cards for larger transactions.

Reason for choosing Budgetly

When I initally reached out for some more information, I got an immediate and friendly response. I had plenty of help along the way from Budgetly as we had to get a few approvals before proceeding, but it was a good feel and definitely the right fit for us. Budgetly’s Customer Service was definitely the stand-out.

### "Budgetly has saved us 50 hours a month"

August 24, 2023

5.0

We’ve definitely saved a lot of money. 50 hours saved across the month in bookkeeping fees is massive. So much easier to sync straight into Xero, the time saved is amazing. We’ve had a lot of help whenever we’ve needed it, it’s been great.

Pros

Our setup is a little different with Budgetly compared to a standard account. We have 5 accounts in total, one for our head office (senior leadership) and four individual stores. For the stores, each store manager had a bank card and would often pull money from the till to buy essential, smaller items. Budgetly has completely removed the operational risk by no longer having to reconcile and manage cash. It’s also a lot easier to collect and manage receipts with the app and our store staff are empowered to buy larger, ad hoc purchases with suppliers etc. Times this by 4 stores, it’s a huge help. Our head office team uses Budgetly a little differently to the stores. It’s been great for things like software subscriptions, larger purchases for maintenance for stores etc. For example, it’s very easy for our marketing team to make payments online for different services as the cards offer everything that a corporate VISA card would. The fact that it all then flows straight into Xero saves hours of admin work.

Cons

I’d love to be able to sync all deposits into the Budgetly account when syncing to Xero, not having to add these manually.

### "Recommend Budgetly without hesitation"

September 14, 2023

5.0

90% of our issues prior to Budgetly have been solved. Our biggest challenge was issuing cards, lack of live visibility and missing transaction receipts. Being a small business, it resulted in huge impacts with extra staff workload when delays occurred. Budgetly's sorted all of this.

Pros

Budgetly is easy to use and easy to upload receipts. Working with both Apple and Android was important to us. Price was very competitive. Budgetly provides the ability to code transactions, capture receipts and provides visibility on the go as well as greater flexibility with the card issuing to users. Virtual cards are instant and can be issued without delay or having to deal with a bank.

Cons

Would be good if the GST extraction was available on all plans.

Reason for choosing Budgetly

Budgetly was user-friendly which meant staff had no issues transitioning to it

### "Kismet Healthcare"

November 8, 2022

5.0

The training and onboarding process was excellent. We were provided 1to1 training, customer help videos and free telephone support. We've barely needed to call since the initial training though.

Pros

We no longer have to do any expense claims or reimbursements. We issue cards whenever we want and all spending is controlled and tracked.

Cons

Only thing we've found is we still use a CC for google paid search spend. Otherwise we've been able to remove all other credit cards from the business.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Budgetly

We considered Weel but the Budgets functionality in Budgetly was much more powerful plus we wanted to issue physical cards.

### "Saved at least 6 hours a week"

September 14, 2023

5.0

It’s saved a lot of time, it’s an easier process, we have far more flexibility and our staff love it. 10/10 customer service, too.

Pros

Budgetly’s saved us at least 5-6 hours a week as we’re no longer chasing invoices/receipts or doing unnecessary admin. Everything’s now real-time, we get instant money requests etc. The accessibility and flexibility is amazing.

Cons

Would love to be able to split transactions across categories/tags.

Reason for choosing Budgetly

I used to work for another company that was using Budgetly. Knowing what it was capable of, I knew it would make things a lot easier.

Switched from

[Dext](https://www.capterra.com/p/160189/Dext/)

Prior to Budgetly, we were using ANZ credit cards and Dext. There was a set amount that we could top up per month and once we hit that, there was no flexibility about adding more.

### "Budgetly solved our problems"

January 11, 2023

5.0

Before Budgetly, we had about a dozen credit cards and a centralised spreadsheet. Each month, we were meant to fill it out with each transaction (how much, what it was for etc.), however our Accounts team usually had to chase up multiple people with missing information every month. We don't have to worry about any of that anymore

Pros

Given how flexible Budgetly is, users now don’t have to worry about manually filling in spreadsheets and we’ve saved a lot of time on admin work. Staff were often sharing cards etc however we don't have to worry about card security anymore. We've also saved at least a day a month in admin work.

Cons

I honestly can't think of anything we don't like about Budgetly.

February 6, 2024

5.0

10/10! We’ve had no issues with Budgetly, the support team has been great.

Pros

Having Budgetly means we can give a virtual card to a staff member immediately and no longer have to wait for money to load onto the cards we were using previously.

Cons

It would be good to be able to have different levels of access for managers etc.

### "Definitely recommend Budgetly"

October 30, 2023

5.0

Exceptional service - I can’t say that for many companies, but I definitely can for Budgetly. They've simplified so much for us.

Pros

I looked into a lot of alternative providers, mainly through web searches. A lot weren’t designed for NFPs in mind, and a lot weren’t based in Australia. Budgetly has saved us at least 6 hours of admin work a week and barely have to chase receipts anymore.

Cons

I'd love to the ability to block certain merchants etc but should be able to do this in future.

### "Budgetly's amazing"

March 21, 2023

5.0

10/10 customer service, we've loved using it.

Pros

Having multiple cards now means we can operate in multiple places at the same time without these time delays and had to manually process receipts etc. This is now a lot more efficient and saves us between 1-2 hours each and every day. We get instant access to transactions in the portal, massive time savings and it’s very reasonably priced. Having multiple cards on one account is very handy when there are multiple people out on the road. Being able to top up budgets straight away is perfect as we can get funds to staff when they need it. Budgetly is also really secure and we’re not worried about our funds going missing as the risk of getting scammed etc is a lot lower.

Cons

No real cons at the moment, Budgetly does everything we need it to do.

### "Loving Budgetly"

November 17, 2022

5.0

Our staff can now manage the majority of the process themselves and we don't have to deal with all the paperwork of a bank when ordering cards. Being in such a regulated industry, the risk of being audited is very real, however Budgetly has solved this for us with the reporting that we can now do. Their customer service is really detailed and responsive, too. I find that some other services only send you to a website to watch videos, however Budgetly gets straight to the point which allows us to move on quickly.

Pros

It's easy to use and gives some responsibility back to our staff to manage their own receipts etc. Not having to chase and reconcile receipts has saved me at least a full day each month which means I can focus on more important tasks to bring money into the business.

Cons

There's nothing that I dislike about Budgetly, it's worked really well since we joined.

Reason for choosing Budgetly

Having never used Budgetly, I was intrigued to see how it would work. Being able to issue as many cards as we want without having to deal with the paperwork with the bank has been fantastic.

Budgetly's been great. 10/10 customer service/support.

Pros

The ability to issue both physical and virtual cards was a massive deal for us. Being able to upload receipts directly into Budgetly has also been amazing as it’s easier to reconcile our transactions.

Cons

Looking forward to being able to use SSO to log in.

We initially had cards with CBA however it was difficult to collect receipts and spending was out of control. We went to Weel for a while, however had some issues with the digital cards not working properly. Budgetly solved this with the ability to issue physical cards.

### "Love it!"

September 14, 2023

5.0

It's so much easier to monitor funds being spent by our participants and staff. For example, we can now monitor the number of takeaway meals our participants are eating which has a positive effect on their health. The support we've received has been excellent, definitely recommend Budgetly.

Pros

Yes Budgetly has solved our expense management issues. It's really easy to monitor funds and where money is spent. Issuing funds is only a phone call away and everything is very quick and simple. We especially love the process of uploading receipts where no more collecting and no more scanning is needed. This means no more lost receipts.

Cons

Text message notifications rather than just emails would be great.

April 15, 2024

10/10 Customer Service. Whenever we need help, Budgetly is always available and very efficient.

Pros

Budgetly has helped us save both money and time. With significantly better spend-control, staff no longer have access to unlimited spending and we’ve seen a reduction in general spending of roughly 40-50%.

Cons

We've been using Budgetly with a few of our other clients and at the moment, it's doing everything we need it to do.

Reason for choosing Budgetly

We already had some existing clients using it and it was working really well for them.

### "Budgetly Review"

September 29, 2022

5.0

We were using two different providers prior to Budgetly and their online platforms/functionality quite limited. Since moving to Budgetly, we've saved 5-10 hours per week across the business with smoother processes in place for all frontend staff using the cards as well as backend staff who had previously worked on reconciling receipts etc. Through being able to track spending across the business, we've significantly reduced overspending in our SIL houses and are now able to better incorporate budgets etc into our strategic planning for our business.

Pros

User-friendly platform with functionality that allows us to create what we need in existing systems.

Cons

Creating budgets/cards/users can get a little confusing when working out the requirements between them all

### "We're loving Budgetly"

May 9, 2023

5.0

As a small school, it was very difficult to get cards with our bank for individuals as they had to be an approved signatory for the actual business account. We tried pre-paid cards for a little bit as well, but these were hard to maintain as it wasn’t straightforward to top them up, hard to get statements etc. A clunky process. This is now such an easy process and a really good fit.

Pros

Not having to worry about reimbursements is amazing. we've always had great support, very responsive. The value for us is in the time we’ve saved that means we can focus on other tasks. We’ve saved at least 3 to 4 hours a week.

Cons

Nothing major comes to mind, however receipt reminders would be amazing to help chase up staff who haven’t uploaded their receipts yet.

### "Budgetly has saved us so much time!"

November 15, 2022

5.0

The biggest win we've had with Budgetly is the time savings in not having to chase receipts. We've got full control over our staff's spending and Budgetly has allowed us to put some responsibility back on our staff without losing any visibility over the process.

Pros

If we were still chasing receipts and using normal credit cards, we’d be incredibly time-poor. We already working long days to get through our normal workload, so this has meant we can focus our time on more important things within the business. The customer service and support we've had has been 10/10 from the very beginning and hasn't stopped since.

Cons

It was initially a little slow getting things up and running across multiple locations, however this has eased and our staff love it.

It's been amazing. Their customer service is great with very fast response times, we have full visbility over what we're spending and it's easy to track if our staff haven't uploaded a receipt.

Pros

Budgetly allows us to easily capture receipts, monitor the balances on our cards and really understand what we're spending money on. Being able to integrate with Xero has been amazing and their customer service is 10/10. We've saved at least 5-6 hours a week in admin work.

Cons

We'd love to be able to utilise an API however we're aware that this is likely something we'll be able to do in future.

July 6, 2023

Budgetly has made things so much easier. We can now issue cards and get full visibility over our expense management with a click of a couple of buttons.

Pros

Budgetly is absolutely wonderful. It’s amazing to have instant cards when we need them. Had we not moved over to Budgetly, we would still have a time-consuming process wasting time. We wouldn’t have known what was possible and how much better the process could be. No more reconciling and no more dealing with the banks.

Cons

I would love to see an integration with QuickBooks.

April 19, 2023

It’s been great so far. Really easy to get hold of someone when we need help. Quick and efficient support.

Pros

We no longer need to use petty cash and manage that process manually. Having house cards has helped our expense management process significantly as we can simply top up budgets when we need to. Also having everything stored online makes this a lot more efficient in general.

Cons

It can still be a manual process chasing up staff that haven't uploaded their receipts etc. It'd be very helpful to have a way to better manage this.

Pros

Budgetly's great because it's so flexible.

November 20, 2022

5.0

It's made running our business a lot easier. Being able to provide access to funds without having to get the cards/cash to staff is great. I value my time and the time saved is definitely where the value is for me. Budgetly keeps things much tighter in terms of systems, processes and overall spending control.

Pros

Being able to limit and control spending has been amazing. Before Budgetly, I was giving my own credit cards to staff, so being able to switch things on and off whenever I need to gives me much more security and restricts access to large amounts of money. It's a much better process. We run 22 holidays a year, Budgetly has saved me at least 4 hours per trip without having to reconcile transactions, reimburse staff etc. The Xero integration is also brilliant.

Cons

At the moment, I'm really liking it and don't really have any cons.
