Department heads sending versions back and forth via email. Mysterious errors surfacing right before you present to the board. Weekends disappearing while you hunt for that one number that refuses to reconcile. We created Budgyt because our founder lived this exact nightmare as a CFO. Budgyt is built on a real database but works exactly like Excel, meaning your team won't need training. The difference? Formulas can't break. Every number traces directly back to its source with a single click. You import your chart of accounts and actuals straight from your accounting system. Click any variance and instantly drill down to vendor-level detail. Update rolling reforecasts monthly without having to rebuild your entire structure. Our API connections get you operational in hours instead of months spent on implementation consulting. Who needs Budgyt: Multi-department organizations where budgeting must be collaborative, but finance needs to maintain control. Nonprofits managing grants and restricted funding. Professional services firms with multiple locations. Healthcare organizations. Any growing business where Excel has become unmanageable but you need software your team will actually adopt. Key capabilities: Built-in payroll allocation splits salaries across departments or grants with percentages that stay intact. Dynamic driver formulas for metrics like revenue per customer or cost per unit. Build once, works forever. Unlimited team collaboration with department heads contributing directly while you maintain approval controls. Board-ready reporting that exports to your exact Excel format or uses dynamic dashboards for instant visualization. Support and implementation: Average onboarding takes two weeks once you provide your files. Email and phone support available Monday through Friday 9am to 6pm, plus Saturday mornings. You're working with a team that understands finance, not reading scripts. Pricing: Starts at $425/month based on how many departments you budget for. Unlimited users included. We don't charge per seat because collaboration shouldn't cost extra. Setup and training fees apply. Nonprofit pricing available. No more emailing spreadsheets. No more "did I break something?" panic. No more sweating through board meetings. Just budgeting software that actually works the way you need it to. Free pilots available using your actual data. See it work with your real budget structure before committing. > > Verdict: Rated **4.9/5** by 68 users.

Budgyt accomplishes this by offering the largest number of sub-tiers of any budget SAAS out there, unlimited line-items under each lowest level account category, and line-item notes for expense/income justification. No more department-level spreadsheets because your budgeting software only supports 2 or 3 sub-tiers. You can easily fit every nit-picky detail into Budgyt\! > > **Cons**: After years of using Budgyt, I still struggle with using the built-in equation builders. They are highly customizable, which is great, but they don't always seem to follow traditional math logic. I've resorted to running the few calculations I need to do externally and linking a spreadsheet to a Budgyt line item, which works fine for me and is a small price to pay for the level of detailed planning Budgyt facilitates. ----- ### "Forget Excel\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jen** | *21 November 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love Budgyt for its ease of use and intuitive design. It has made budgeting and forecasting much simpler for our small nonprofit organization. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, not only for me but also for others in my team, as it is quite easy to teach them how to use it. This intuitive interface has greatly streamlined what used to be a complex and cumbersome process in Excel, significantly enhancing our productivity. Furthermore, the initial setup was pretty straightforward, thanks to the supportive team at Budgyt. They took the time to understand our organization's needs and mapped everything out for us, which made the transition seamless. Overall, Budgyt has transformed our budgeting process into a much more efficient and less stressful task. > > **Cons**: I find that Budgyt has limitations with its integration capabilities. Although there have been significant updates to allow for automatic downloads directly from QuickBooks into Budgyt, it currently only supports automation with one company at a time. This limitation is inconvenient, especially when managing multiple entities, and it would be beneficial if the automation could be expanded to accommodate multiple companies simultaneously. > > This is the second organization where I have introduced Budgyt. LOVE everything about them\! The product is amazing and any issue/learning opportunities I find, support is right there and very helpful\! ----- ### "Easy to use but a bit cumbersome" — 3.0/5 > **Brendan** | *5 January 2022* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to build budgets with this software. > > **Cons**: The reporting features are lacking and the import from quickbooks time consuming . > > Decent product but the customer service relies heavily on online videos and there are some weaknesses in the reporting. ----- ### "Very Pleased with Budgyt" — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *21 March 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very competitive pricing for a full-featured FP\&A package. Excellent support for installation and ability to influence future feature set. Great user security / number of users / number of departments supported. > > **Cons**: Balance sheet functionality not included in base product; advanced visualizations not included in base product. > > I purchased and administered Budgyt in two separate organizations, as my experience with the first one inspired my purchase when I changed employment. I use it primarily for distribution of monthly financials, monthly actual-to-budget for department heads, and a very involved annual budget process. ----- ### "Powerful User-friendly Budgeting & Reporting Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Tom** | *25 February 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Love the Budgyt platform\! Very intuitive and easy to use, with capabilities that allow users to get more detailed and complicated as needed. Allows us to enter data in detail (or summary) in a way that makes it incredibly accessible and easy to read for non-finance users, which is ultimately a huge time saver for our finance team. Everyone on the Budgyt team that I have spoken to or worked with from sales to support (including the \[sensitive content hidden\] who took one of my training/implementation calls) has been awesome. The training was great (the video academy might be my single favorite \& most-used/recommended training feature in any program ever), onboarding and implementation were made super easy (as far as those things go), and ongoing support (on the rare occasions it's been needed; it's been mostly out-of-the-box questions/ideas that I've brought up post-go-live) is excellent \& very personable - huge shout-out to "budgyt guru" \[sensitive content hidden\] who has been immensely helpful from day 0 to the present, anticipating our needs at times before we even did. > > **Cons**: My only 'complaint' is that of several additional features that have been implemented since we began using Budgyt (dashboards, cash flow, balance sheet) I am anxiously-awaiting the \#1 item on my wishlist - live integration with Sage Intacct API to eliminate manual import of actual data. But I'm confident that when it arrives it will work correctly. > > We adopted Budgyt first and foremost as a new budgeting solution to replace manual, Excel-based process. It quickly became obvious that Budgyt delivers much more, and has become our tool of choice for financial reporting, forecasting, and analysis. Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. It is the only finance tool that our non-finance users regularly come to me with compliments and positive feedback about. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/76821/budgyt?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/76821/budgyt) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
