Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Pros:

Quick and smooth process, really easy to handle! I love it that you can take a photo of the receipt and the systems puts in all relevant data automatically. Saves a lot of time!! Had no bugs or issues with it.

Cons:

I can‘t think of any cons at the moment. I just wished we would have used it earlier because it makes cost reimbursesement very easy.

Reasons for switching to Circula

Because it took so long to put all information in excel and many mistakes could happen

Good but needs more features

See above. Maybe it would be nice to add an entry for what is this payment for, e.g. I need to buy a cable, but If HR doesn't know they will ask my why I have a receipt from a warehouse (but all written in chinese so they can't read it).

Pros:

It is easy to use. I don't have to save the receipts but just scan them and get rid of the paper. That is really nice.

Cons:

I can't include the fees of my credit card, so I need to list them one by one for every payment later on to get the money back from my company.
