Moving to Budgetly has solved many of our problems we were experiencing with traditional expense management methods. We're able to issue cards instantly, set spending rules and even automate our subscription payments. It takes one click to send the transactions to Xero and they're constantly improving the product to do more. The customer service is the best I've experienced with unlimited training and telephone support and no wait times to speak to someone when you have a question.
Daniel Chu Kismet Healthcare
Budgetly is very easy to work with from setup to after sales follow up. They provide good information on how to best manage the account.
Davenan Woutersz, Service Manager Me And My Space
Budgetly has streamlined purchasing for our organisation. Instead of the finance team manually chasing receipts and processing reimbursements, staff are able to easily enter details of their purchase and upload receipts directly into the Budgetly app which are synced across to Xero. Such a time saver and so easy to use - highly recommend this product!
Hayley Chapman, Business Manager - Corporate The Play Projects
Excellent. Cannot rate the support highly enough. 11/10. They literally call you before you have to call them.

User friendly system with exceptionally helpful support team.
Kirsty Gillham, Senior Marketing Manager SA Care
Budgetly has changed the way we do a lot of things in my team, from setting budgets and people permissions to spend, to accountability and quick reporting. We love how easy Budgetly is to use. The support team is incredibly friendly and super helpful!
Marcella Hernandez, Shared Services Manager Vantage Point Church
Budgetly integrates with Xero seamlessly. The data transfer between the two programs is almost immediate and the electronic storage and importing of receipts has saved us heaps of time at the end of the month.
Megan Rodger, Project Officer RSPCA Tasmania
Great product. I've been using Budgetly for over a year and it's been a gamechanger to the business. It's made keeping track of spending a breeze and reduced admin time.

10/10 Customer Service. Whenever we need help, Budgetly is always available and very efficient.
Renee Sodhi, Relationship Manager Arkana Energy
It's so much easier to monitor funds being spent by our participants and staff. For example, we can now monitor the number of takeaway meals our participants are eating which has a positive effect on their health. The support we've received has been excellent, definitely recommend Budgetly.
Aisling, Service Delivery Manager Together2
We used to have some issues around fraud when dealing with Australia Post Load and Go cards, but that's not an issue any more. Customer service is at least a 9.5/10, I'd definitely recommend it.
David, CEO NDIS industry
We've saved a lot of time with Budgetly! Our staff are now accountable for their spending and it's made our lives a lot easier.
Debbie, Senior Finance Officer Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation
I’ve saved at least 2 hours a day in admin work. We’ve minimised human error with our staff now being accountable for uploading their own receipts. Bill Payments has also brought everything into one spot and with the Xero integration, everything is so much easier now.

Great for solving petty cash problems. Looking forward to new features.

Frequently asked questions
What is Budgetly’s alternative to fuel cards?
Budgetly provides a modern alternative to traditional fuel cards, giving businesses the same control and visibility over fuel spending without being locked into a single fuel provider.
Instead of issuing fuel-only cards tied to one network, Budgetly lets your team use controlled company spending cards at any petrol station nationwide. Every transaction is tracked in real time, with custom limits, approvals and reporting built directly into the Budgetly spend-management platform.
This offers the convenience of universal fuel access with far more flexibility and oversight than traditional fuel cards.
Why use Budgetly instead of traditional fuel cards or reimbursements?
Traditional fuel cards restrict where staff can fill up, lack real-time visibility and create reconciliation headaches. Reimbursements slow the process even more and require staff to pay out of pocket.
Budgetly solves these problems by offering:
- Use anywhere — works at all fuel stations, not just one brand
- Instant card creation (virtual or physical)
- Real-time tracking of every purchase
- Custom spend limits for drivers or vehicles
- Instant freeze/cancel options
- Xero integration for seamless accounting
The result is a more flexible, more transparent and more convenient fuel-spending solution.
What is the best fuel-spend solution for Australian businesses — and why is Budgetly the better alternative?
Australian businesses need a fuel-spend solution that:
- Supports AUD transactions
- Integrates with Xero
- Provides strong controls and visibility
- Doesn’t lock drivers into a single network
- Connects to a broader spend-management ecosystem
Budgetly delivers all of this — without the restrictions of traditional fuel cards.
You get the freedom to fuel anywhere, plus the power of Budgetly’s platform for expense tracking, approvals and budgeting.
How does Budgetly improve decision-making around fuel spend?
Because transactions flow into one central dashboard, you gain:
- Real-time visibility into fuel expenses
- Insights into cost trends and anomalies
- Cleaner, faster reconciliation
- A full picture of fuel spend alongside all other business expenses
How much do Budgetly’s Fuel Cards cost?
The cost depends on factors such as number of cards issued, transaction volume, spend controls required and whether they form part of your broader Budgetly platform usage. Budgetly offers scalable, transparent pricing with no fuel-provider contracts, no hidden fees and no locked-in networks.
