Circula is the flexible spend management solution for German finance teams. The Berlin-based software combines all company spend in one modular platform: out-of-pocket expenses, travel costs, corporate credit cards, employee benefits, and accounts payable, built for the specific requirements of German tax law. Unlike global platforms, Circula was built from the ground up for the needs of German finance and accounting processes: GoBD-compliant workflows, native BMF per diem rates, and automatic three-month rule checks ensure that accounting receives clean, complete data. As a DATEV Premium Partner, Circula ensures that all expenses are correctly pre-assigned and handed over without any media discontinuity. Thanks to Circula AI, more than 54% of all expenses are export-ready the moment they're submitted, with no manual work required from accounting. More than 3,000 companies and 250,000 users rely on Circula to automate expense processes, reduce compliance risks, and take work off finance teams' plates. Circula was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Berlin.

"My first experience with Circula"

2/5

What do you like best about Circula?

It like Circula's simplicity and clean interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circula?

Circula falls short of what I expected beyond the basics of uploading receipts and submitting reports. Here’s what I ran into:

1. There’s no obvious way to create a report — it took me a while to realize the “+” button in the bottom-right corner was what I needed.

2. If an expense gets rejected, I can’t just edit it. I have to start from scratch, reupload all the receipts, and re-enter all the details.

a) There’s no option to add or remove receipts from a report once it’s created.

b) Worse, once you create a report, the receipt storage clears out, so if you need to resubmit, you have to upload everything again.

These issues make the whole process way more tedious than it should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Circula solving and how is that benefiting you?

To get reimbursed for my money Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"First expirence with Circula"

2/5

What do you like best about Circula?

I like the design of the web page. It looks modern and fancy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circula?

+ User expirience - not intuitive.

I was struggling with creating a new expence. It was not intuitive, where I have to start. My plan was to create a folder for a trip and then add my expences there. In result I have got a separate folder and a separate expance of category 'trip'.

+ Translation

Expence category 'trip' is translated in German as 'Reise'. That's why I've called my expence 'Berlin - Munich', which is not correct. If I knew from the beginning, that the expence I'm creating is the full bundle of travel and daily rate refund (Tagespauschale), I would call it differently.

+ Missing feature

I could not rename my expence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Circula solving and how is that benefiting you?

It should make easier to manage expences recipes for employees and expences refunds for finance office of my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"First feedback"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Circula?

The application works in an app. Unfortunately, all data must be entered twice because we already record all data in a CRM app. But the app is not to blame for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circula?

A simple input of the time via keyboard would sometimes be easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Circula solving and how is that benefiting you?

The travel expense report is now standardized and almost error-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
