It made us feel like a valued customer. > > **Cons**: Wish the cards were a little more firm, I am thinking that harder plastic might have helped up better, but now seeing the virtual ones available, all good. > > We love the convenience, the ease of use, how we can track our spending. Having to spend less time finding and coordinating let's us do our job better. ----- ### "Great fuel usage control" — 5.0/5 > **Trixie** | *19 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very good control of gas cards and use. Expense management has many options and are intuitive to use. > > **Cons**: Bill payment could be easier. Really just a simple thing of being able to print payment receipt would be good > > Very good. There are many options to keep track of fuel usage. Customer on boarding is very good. They are very good at offering to help with reporting and controls ----- ### "Product that works" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 May 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Best value for the company, money, ability to track expenses, the ability to track vehicles and best for accounting purposes security in knowing that money is being spent properly and accordingly > > **Cons**: Nothing really the problem that I have with it is on my companies in every vehicle. We have to enter the tag number and mileage. Most of our vehicles have not been inputted as of yet. > > My overall experience with this product is that it allows us to track movement. It allows us to account for each and every vehicle in our fleet and it allows us to be accountable for what is happening. ----- ### "Effort equals Success with Coast" — 5.0/5 > **McKenzie** | *21 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Coast has dramatic improved our expense management, while also cutting down on labor hours coding receipts. Coast has made it easier for our employees to upload receipts on the go, instead of waiting until the end of the week and fumbling through paperwork. There is a slight learning curve, as with any new software, but if you dedicate the time to implementing the software correctly, the benefit on the back end will truly pay off. > > **Cons**: We had a rough onboarding with some of the individuals (not all) that were assigned to our account, it felt with certain features that were new, employees were not prepared to explain how these work or even aware of how to use them. As Coast continues to grow and roll out new features, it does feel unfortunate to have to be subject to those as they are improved, for example the new AI reader sent false notifications that receipts were incorrectly matched to an expense when trying to read receipts. I wish some of these features could be trial run prior to implementation or only released to accounts that agree to this. Personally, it is not a huge deal to me, but I know our guys in the field have limited patience with any new technology so I fear in situations like this the app will "lose their trust" and they won't use it as much. > > Overall experience has been positive. I'm happy with the response time when issues arrive and enjoy having an individual that we can reach out to directly with questions when needed. ----- ### "Simple, easy, and saves us time" — 5.0/5 > **Todd** | *5 August 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Coast has saved us several hours every month. Our guys can stop at just about any gas station instead of being tied to one location, which has been much more convenient. We also don't have to collect and organize paper gas receipts anymore. The reporting is easy to use, transactions are simple to review, and keeping track of fuel purchases is much easier than our old process. > > **Cons**: Not much to complain about. There was a little learning curve getting everything set up, but after that it's been easy to use. > > We've had a great experience with Coast. We switched from using a house account at one gas station, and the difference has been huge. It's more convenient for our employees, it saves the office several hours every month, and we have a much clearer view of our fuel spending without manually creating fuel reports or chasing down receipts. Overall, it's made managing our fleet fuel purchases a lot simpler. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/394769/coast?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/394769/coast) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
