Budgyt vs. Runn

I'm sure that Budgyt would not be the most appropriate solution for large, complex organizations with numerous entities or overly complicated structures. Those org's likely have solutions within their ERPs or other sophisticated finance systems with budgeting/reporting capabilities that mirror Budgyt, making it redundant. However, for an easy, and relatively cheap solution to meeting those needs, as well as forecasting and analysis, I would recommend Budgyt to anyone with the need.

Runn is our scheduling tool. We use it to track the dozens of projects that we have running and who is assigned to them. It allows us to create schedules for each employee and contractor (consultants) so we can effectively stay within the hours we allocate to each project and stay within the project budget.

• Combining departments (components of an entity or a component of various entity's income statement) or isolating departments (small slivers) of an entity's income statement. We can look at specific departments of specific entities together, with ease.
• Splicing / flipping reports into countless formats. Helpful for users of the financial statements that digest data/numbers differently than the financial accountants who prepare the numbers.
• It is relatively easy to import data from our Jonas accounting program into Budgyt.
• We've had prompt customer service when we've encountered issues and they were readily available during implementation.

• Runn allows us to track projects over a period of time to see who worked on it and how many hours were spent, to keep us on track.
• Runn allows us to create schedules for our team of consultants. By viewing a person, we can see each project assigned and the weekly hours allocated.
• Runn allows us to run reports to see if we need to bill for hours that go over the weekly allocation.

• Inside setting up HR forumlas, it should give more than one filter criteria.
• Application got slow after putting the information of HR module and formuals, need to speed up.
• Selection of multiple companies with different GLs can be an option where it is lacking.
• Didn't see the multicurrency feature, can be a good add on.

• Runn meets our needs so I don't have any input here.

Our organization has increased our level of financial reporting and decreased the time it takes to build a budget with the Budgyt platform. Because our budget managers have access, it allows them a higher level of ownership for their areas.

It ease of use for both for the Administrator and the end user. We were also able to use single sign on which it makes for my user. The technology and security give me ease that my data is secure and the cloud base component means I don’t have to store on my server

During my first year of working within the budget software, I had to go through some training while trying to meet deadlines for meetings. The team at Budgyt was very accommodating and made sure I was equipped with the knowledge that I needed to be successful

We were fortunate to have the founder lead us through a video conference to teach our users how to use the system. Totally invaluable!

Forecaster was terrible. We switched from that. We looked at multiple products, either too expensive or not user-friendly. We switched 4 years ago. I do not recall the companies we visited back then. There are certainly more on the market now, but I have no interest in switching as our entire office loves the product.

We used Hubstaff before moving to Runn. The decision to leave Hubstaff was purely a financial one, as we were looking to cut expenses during the early phase of the pandemic. Both products are good, and Hubstaff worked well for our organization, but it was decided to move to Runn to save on organizational expenses without losing needed functionality.

Budget scenarios are amazing, when it comes to educational funding, were always having to pivot. Having multiple scenarios for financial planning is key to being economically sustainable. We can quickly add services or staffing based upon funding adjustments/projections and see if they will work in our current climate. This supports leaderships ability to make quicker decisions.

• We have had better control on labor cost. The software has helped us project when we need to add new employees to handle our contact center volume.
• Running different budget scenarios helped us navigate the impact of Covid on our business.

• Runn has been a positive impact on our expenses because we use a free (or low-cost) version in our tech stack.
