What do you like best about Cledara?

Cledara helps me to have a fingertips picture of the tools were using and where we're spending money. It saves my team hours a month in reconciling transactions and gives me a much clearer view of where we're spending and where we can save. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cledara?

The set up time is quite time-consuming. We did have to put in a couple of hours to get the value, but we save ours each month now so it was completely worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cledara solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using Cledara, it was hard and very manual to track exactly which tools we were using and the breakdown of our recurring spend every month. With Clara, I have an instant view of exactly what we're using and what it's costing us broken down by product/subscription/category/team.

Also, we were spending hours Helping our bookkeeper by sending through invoices and receipts. Cledara does the heavylifting for us on this now - probably 90% of the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cledara?

Cledara has been a game-changer for how we manage our software subscriptions. Before we started using it, we struggled to keep track of renewals, usage, and overall spend—it always felt like we were scrambling to figure out where our money was going.

With Cledara, everything is now in one place. I love how easy it is to issue virtual cards for specific tools, which has made expense tracking and controlling budgets so much simpler. The real-time insights into our SaaS usage have helped us identify tools we weren’t even using, saving us a ton of money over time.

If your team has ever felt overwhelmed by subscription chaos, I would highly recommend you to try their service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cledara?

One small issue will be, some of the subscriptions cannot be transferred to Cledara Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cledara solving and how is that benefiting you?

To manage company software subscriptions

It's been very beneficial to our business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cledara?

Cledara offers an intuitive interface that makes navigating transactions seamless while effectively consolidating all software subscriptions. It also enhances security and control by generating unique card credentials for each subscription, providing a certain degree of separation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cledara?

It was proposed as a one-stop solution for accounting needs, but its accuracy requires improvement. For example, its invoice capturing functionality is flawed, as it assigns invoices arbitrarily through email capture. This prevents transactions from being flagged as missing an invoice unless someone manually reviews them, leading to an inaccurate representation of the actual number of missing invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cledara solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our biggest challenge was manually chasing business users for invoices on already paid transactions. Cledara was supposed to automate this with reminders, but that functionality has yet to work effectively. Its main benefit remains the unique card generation, rather than any advanced accounting capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tatiana Bonafe of Cledara

Hi! Thanks so much for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the invoice capture feature isn’t working as expected. Please reach out to the Cledara support team—we’re here to help and would love to hear more about the issues you’ve faced so we can offer the right support.

We’ve recently made some improvements to invoice management, like centralizing it in 'My Tasks,' sending custom reminders for missing transactions (either for a specific subset or all), and the ability to track who’s connecting their inbox to automate the collection. We hope these updates can help.

Kind regards,

Tatiana - Cledara Team

What do you dislike about Cledara?

The virtual cards are debit instead of credit, which means you must ensure Cledara has sufficient funds before payments are made, rather than settling the total amount after payments. For services with fluctuating fees, you might transfer more money to Cledara than what is actually spent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cledara solving and how is that benefiting you?

All my subscription transactions can now be managed and reconciled in one place. Saves me time on month end reconcilation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cledara?

Cledara helps us break down our software send into easy to manage sections, ensuring that we only pay what we want when we want - ensuring only the right employees have access to certain spend means that controls over expenditure is tight. Adding new employees to the platform is quick and painless. With the UI proving to be pretty straight forward for all users, implementing Cledara and integrating the workflow into our day to day processes has been easy. We use Cledara daily, and intend to keep on using it in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cledara?

We enjoyed the cashback feature implemented when we first started using the system, however as we have grown there is a cap on the return which you can claim. Any cash spent whilst as this cap misses out on cash back if someone doesn't check your rewards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cledara solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us manage our spend over our entire company and control who has access to certain budgets. It's granting us deeper insigths into spending habits and if a better solution could be found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cledara?

What’s most helpful about Cledara is how simple and easy it was to set it up. On top of this, the design and UX make it really easy to navigate and get things done without feeling overwhelmed. I also love that it gives you the flexibility to experiment with use cases outside of its main purpose—for example, I’ve used Cledara cards for things like ordering supplies or even travel bookings.

Some features, like the virtual cards management (setting spending limits, expiration dates etc) come quite handy when it comes to enabling our team members to use a Cledara card.

Their customer support is always helpful and quick to respond. I don't remember a single time not finding an answer to my questions. Another big plus is how well it integrates with GMail—it automatically captures invoices from emails and makes it super easy to share them with our finance team. Finally, Cledara rewards have proved to be a really nice benefit, and money saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cledara?

The biggest downside we've found so far is the fact that its cards cannot be added to Apple Pay or Google Wallet (yet). However, it's not big deal as this is just a hack that would be suitable for our use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cledara solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cledara is helping us by having a single source of truth for our SaaS spending. Its focus is clear, and doesn't promise something it cannot do. It makes it easier to track what we're paying for, who paid, renewal dates, information about services, and more.

Another problem it solves is dealing with invoices. With its GMail integration, Cledara automatically captures invoices from emails and makes it simple to share them with our finance team. That’s saved us a lot of time.

It’s also great for controlling budgets and experimenting without risk as by using Cledara cards for subscriptions we don’t have to worry about unexpected charges or overages. Cledara alerts us when an unexpected charge happens on a service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cledara?

There is so much funcitionality on the platform, and yet it is still incredibly easy to use. I was using Cledara at my previous company, so I was really happy to see that Cledara was being used when I moved here. It makes managing SaaS spend so much easier, as we have a fairly complete view of tools being used in the company. It's so helpful to have individual cards for each tool, as it makes the bookkeeping 100x simpler. It also means Finance can have control over the spending on each tool, as opposed to having to cancel an entire departmental card if there is unauthorised/unknown spending for example. I find myself using Cledara almost every day because it so much easier to get an idea of spend this way, compared to drilling into Xero. There are so many hidden features, such as being able to see how often each tool is being logged into, connecting your account to your Gmail to auto-collect receipts and most recently - being able to bulk follow up on missing receipts with an email and customised message. Customer support have also been incredibly responsive and helpful in the few cases that we have needed to contact them. I love that the Cledara team are constantly adding new features and improving the platform! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cledara?

Some of the features, such as the insights into when users are logging into tools, can be a bit inaccurate - but they are still useful for getting a general idea of which users are accessing tools. I wish there was slightly more controls/prompts around missing receipts or encouraging users to review their budgets if the spend constantly falls below the set budget for the period. In addition, I feel that there is a TON of functionality on this platform but it isn't always shouted about! So sometimes I come across really useful features but completely by accident. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cledara solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows our team to have more autonomy in setting up tools rather than having to rely on Finance to make payments. It also frees up time for Finance as less time is spent making payments, bookkeeping, etc. We are able to view the spend per tool and for software overall very easily. It also feels a lot safer and more controlled for each tool to have a card that is linked to a wallet with limited funds, as opposed to giving out the details of a card linked to the main company account.

What do you like best about Cledara?

It is such a great way keeping an overview of all of our subscriptions and staying on top of payments! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cledara?

It would be teally useful to be able to export more reports. For example, id like a report telling us what our standard subscription budget per month and not just actual costs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cledara solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were previously not able to ascertain who are subscription owners are, when and how they are being paid, and whether we were paying for more than one piece of software that were doing the same thing. Cledara has has helped us to rationalise our software and streamline costs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
