ClearGov Budget Cycle vs OnePlan

ClearGov Budget Cycle is cloud-based finance and budgeting software for public-sector agencies, including local governments and school districts. Operational Budgeting supports budgets from baseline through adoption and amendments, with annual or biennial cycles, future-year forecasts, and year-end projections. Teams can edit budget line items together in real time, save versions, and attach justifications and supporting documents. An audit trail records adjustments and user actions, while role-based permissions govern who can import capital and personnel scenarios. The software supports approval workflows, scenario planning, actual-versus-budget tracking, and multi-entity budgeting. Capital Budgeting includes request forms, scoring, dashboards, and spreadsheet or PDF exports; Personnel Budgeting tracks filled and vacant positions, compensation, and multi-year staffing scenarios. Digital Budget Book creates web, mobile, and PDF budget books with customizable pages and generated content. Capital and personnel data can feed into Operational Budgeting with automatic updates and duplicate detection. Pricing is by quote; support and product updates are included, with no per-seat fees. ClearGov says implementation requires no systems integration.

OnePlan is a cloud platform connecting strategy, resources, financials, and execution. It brings portfolios together to help organizations prioritize work and avoid duplication.
