Frequently asked questions

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. Budgetly has no lock-in contracts. You can choose monthly or annual billing, and cancel at any time. Annual billing saves up to 17% compared to monthly.

What does Budgetly replace?

Budgetly replaces the manual workflows that cost finance teams hours every week:

  • Reimbursements — employees get their own card, so out-of-pocket claims disappear.
  • Receipt chasing — receipts are captured at the point of purchase via the mobile app and matched automatically.
  • Shared corporate cards — every team member gets an individual card with their own budget and spend limits.
  • Manual reconciliation — transactions sync to Xero automatically with receipts, categories, and GST attached.
Why is Budgetly priced per card, not per user?

Per-user pricing creates expense leakage. When adding a user is expensive and complex, businesses avoid issuing cards to contractors, part-time workers, or even candidates travelling for an interview. Spending still happens — it just goes through reimbursements, petty cash, or shared cards with no visibility.

Budgetly charges per card because issuing a card should be instant and frictionless. You can issue a virtual card in seconds, set a one-time budget, and cancel it when the job is done. Unlimited users are included on every plan — you only pay for active cards.

How do I get started?

Start a 14-day free trial — no credit card required. You can explore the platform, set up budgets, and add your team. When you're ready to activate cards and live transactions, choose a plan and our onboarding team will have you live within 1–3 days. Personalised training is included on every plan at no extra cost.

How long does setup take?

Most teams are live within 1 day. The application takes 2 minutes. Business accounts require regulatory compliance approvals, which typically take 1 day. You can start setting up budgets and users while this is processed. Enterprise customers with 50+ users receive priority onboarding with setup typically within 5–10 days.

Is my financial data secure?

Yes. Budgetly uses 256-bit encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and suspicious IP throttling. Every transaction is recorded with a full audit trail — 3 years on Essentials, 5 years on Premium, and 7+ years on Enterprise. Your data is hosted in Australia.

Do you offer training and support?

Unlimited training and support is included on every plan — no extra cost, no session limits. Our Australian-based team provides email, phone, and face-to-face support. Premium and Enterprise customers receive a dedicated Account Manager and faster response times. 92% of customers rate their onboarding experience as satisfactory or above.

How is the ROI calculator methodology determined?

Our ROI calculator estimates savings based on the following assumptions:

  • 10 expenses per cardholder per month — based on average transaction volumes across our customer base.
  • 15 minutes processing cost per expense — 10 minutes for the employee (receipt capture, coding, submission) plus 5 minutes for finance team review and approval. The MYOB Business Monitor (November 2025) found that over 62% of Australian SMEs still rely on manual bookkeeping for at least one financial process, costing an average of 7.2 hours per week.
  • 90% automation rate — Budgetly automates receipt matching, categorisation, Xero sync, and approval routing, eliminating the majority of manual steps. MYOB's research found businesses adopting cloud-based automation reported a 40–60% reduction in bookkeeping time within six months.
  • AUD $55/hr blended labour cost — derived from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Average Weekly Earnings report (November 2025): $2,051 per week for full-time adults, equating to approximately $107,000 per year or $55/hr inclusive of on-costs.
  • Plan cost — Essentials ($99/mo) for up to 10 cardholders, Premium ($279/mo) for 11+, plus $10/mo per additional card beyond the included allocation.

Results are estimates informed by 80+ customer case studies, 160+ verified Capterra reviews, Australian Bureau of Statistics earnings data, and the MYOB Business Monitor. Your actual savings may vary depending on team size, expense volume, and current processes.
