Runway Financial Reviews & Product Details

Runway is an incredibly flexible tool with an easy learning curve compared to other tools in the class. The time to value is extremely quick - weeks vs. months with other tools, and is actually quite fun to build in. The number of available integrations is second to none, there is no other tool I am aware of that has anywhere close to the number of connections available. With these connectors, I can pull in any data source I want and build a true finance copilot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Runway is still quite early in its journey. The product can be unstable at times, but it is nothing too bad. The team is always extremely quick to jump on any issues, which I expect to be resolved in the very near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Runway just gets it. The UI is clean, the app is blazing fast, and the reporting is next-level. The SQL engine is insane—way more powerful than Excel, making data modeling simple and easy. Plus, it connects to tools like Rippling, which no one else does.

But the real MVP? Their customer support. They respond instantly to bugs and actually fix things fast. Most companies say they care about feedback—Runway actually proves it. We use it daily because it’s become our go-to source of truth for running the business.

Some other things I love about Runway...

• Really easy to get up and running fast and get value out of the product on day 1 thanks to their QBO import

• Crazy fast app—no lag, no waiting

• Top-tier integrations you won’t find anywhere else

• SQL engine that’s a total game-changer for financial modeling

• A+ customer service that actually cares and fixes issues fast

• Has basically replaced spreadsheets as our main financial hub

• Good people vibes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

• Not beginner-friendly—if you don’t know SQL, there’s a learning curve

• Some bugs here and there, a bit sus, but support is so fast it barely matters

• Pricey, but honestly? Worth every penny for the power and support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Runway Financial is an easy to use and intuitive system that allows for an endless amount of financial modeling. Our business needs a system that has ways to factor in changes in a forecasted timeline and the impact of those inputs, and Runway's Plan feature is exactly that. The system is incredibly powerful, easy to use, easy to implement and learn, and they have a very responsive team of real people. Using this system is now the integral part of my day for financial planning and analysis, and for monitoring the health of the business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not come across anything about Runway that I can say I dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Runway makes it easy to analyse different financial scenarios and plan ahead with confidence. The platform simplifies the way we track our finances in real-time, offers flexible reporting, and allowed us to tailor our model to suit what we need for our business. Plus, their top-tier customer support is a huge bonus—whenever we needed help during implementation or whilst using Runway on a day to day basis, their team is responsive and ready to help however they can, and genuinely invested in our success. Shout out to Amelia from the Runway team - she's gone above and beyond to help us in our Runway journey! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With a complex tool such as Runway it was unsurprising that implementation time took a little longer than we were hoping, but the Runway team were there to assist us throughout the process, walking us through every step of the way so we could confidently set up our forecast in the way that best fit our company.

Runway is a powerful FP&A tool that integrates with other many applications, which reduces manual admin work to update. The options are limitless on the dimensions that you can create and link within your various models. Runway provide a lot of resources to learn how to use the software and their customer support team is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in getting your models set up and working properly. You can create charts to summarize data and easily share with other people with a click of a button. They also release regular product updates that improve the application and add new features.

This is my first time using an FP&A tool so there was a steep learning curve getting familiar with the terminology (drivers vs dimensions), and how to properly build out models. We use an accounting system that is specific to our industry and does not have APIs so our process ended up being a little more manual that I had hoped but we were able to find workarounds to reduce the manual work as much as possible. If using QuickBooks or other more common software this wouldn't be an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Runway seamlessly integrates multiple business systems/ tools into a single, intuitive dashboard. Instead of toggling between different platforms, we now have a unified, real-time view of our financial and operational data, which helps with regular internal and board-facing reporting that we pull together on a monthly/quarterly basis. The ability to grab data from various sources into a signle pane of glass has contributed to improved visibility and planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like any financial tool, Runway does require some time to fully onboard, especially for team members who aren’t in finance functions. However, the learning curve is well worth it, and the customer success team has been awesome to work with. They provided high touch support, ensuring our team could get up to speed quickly and fully leverage the platform’s capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our experience with Runway Financial has been outstanding! The software is incredibly scaleable. The real highlight, though, is the customer success team. Our rep has been one of the best I’ve ever worked with—attentive, knowledgeable, and proactive from onboarding through continued support. Highly recommend Runway for anyone looking to streamline financial planning and analysis! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Runway Financial is a powerful tool, the onboarding process can be quite complex. It definitely requires the white-glove service to get everything set up properly. My main concern is that making changes down the road may not be as straightforward without continued support. It’s a great solution, but be prepared for a learning curve.

The best part about using Runway is the customer service. Runway reps are always available to help, quick to answer any question, and enthusiastic to meet whenever an obstacle arises. On top of that, the engineering team is quick to implement any user suggestions to make the overall software very enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Runway can be slow to load at times, but usually a quick refresh will solve the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Runway has allowed me to immediately reference any part of our model with ease, and to segment in any way I can imagine. We can now get down to vendor level BvA analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more prebuilt reporting pages and financial statements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Runway provides a clean and intuitive interface for tracking our startup's cash flows in real time. The integration with Gusto and QBo makes it easy to pull in relevant data and sync to our sources of truth. The scenario modeling feature is especially useful for planning different growth decisions and understanding the total impact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup process can be challenging, especially when integrating multiple financial tools. It did require involved support from Runway team but our CSM has been a fantastic resource! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
