Budgee vs Sellforte

Listed capabilities include planning, expense tracking, alerts, reports, AI, imports, and an audit log. Marketing expenses can be imported from Xero or QuickBooks for reconciliation. Individuals can manage their own budgets while executives retain oversight. The service has no free plan, but signup advertises a 14-day trial with full access and no credit card required. Starter costs $25 a month and includes unlimited users, 30 day audit history, one alert, and 10 transaction imports monthly. Pro costs $45 a month, also with unlimited users, and includes 12 month audit history, unlimited alerts, and unlimited transaction imports. Starter includes standard support; Pro lists priority support. The terms say customers retain ownership of uploaded financial data and budget plans, while granting Budgee a license to host, use, process, and display that data to provide and improve the service.
