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. * * * Seller [Circula GmbH](https://www.g2.com/sellers/circula-gmbh) Discussions [Circula Community](https://www.g2.com/products/circula/discuss) Languages Supported Czech, German, English, Dutch, Slovak, Spanish Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Circula Marketing Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Circula. ### Employee & Travel Expenses Starting at €15.00 1 License Per Month ### Credit Cards Starting at €99.00 1 Platform with unlimited number of cards Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/circula/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Rydoo](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Rydoo") Rydoo 4.4/5(743) ](https://www.g2.com/products/rydoo/reviews) [ ![Pleo](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Pleo") Pleo 4.7/5(1,435) ](https://www.g2.com/products/pleo/reviews) [ ![Spendesk](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Spendesk") Spendesk 4.6/5(413) ](https://www.g2.com/products/spendesk/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/circula/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 1061 real user reviews.

It’s an easy way to upload and submit all my travel expenses in just a few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Circula? A trip has to be over before I can enter any costs. For example, if I want to add a trip, the day has to have already ended before the app will even let me add it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Circula solving and how is that benefiting you? There are extra costs for trips, and the reimbursement of the daily flat rate and driving costs needs to be handed over to the Accounting team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that Circula makes submitting business expense invoices very easy, which is a significant improvement in the management of such expenses. Additionally, the initial setup of Circula was a breeze, making it very user-friendly from the start.

The system does not automatically recognize the type of invoices when customers upload different types. This lack of automatic recognition means that travel expenses and other invoices are not categorized correctly, which can lead to confusion and more manual intervention.

What do you like best about Circula? I particularly like the user-friendly interface and the clear structure, which makes it very easy to quickly submit receipts and expenses. Additionally, the automated processing saves a lot of time compared to manual accounting. What is the most helpful thing about Circula? I find the transparency and traceability of the submitted expenses to be the most helpful. You always have an overview of the status of the accounting and can centrally view all relevant information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Circula? What do you not like about Circula? Partly, the loading times are somewhat long, and some functions could be designed to be more intuitive. Additionally, some processes seem quite rigid, making individual adjustments difficult. What is the least helpful about Circula? The least helpful thing, in my opinion, is that some automatisms do not always work correctly, for example, in the automatic recognition of receipt information. This sometimes necessitates manual post-processing, which reduces the time advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Circula solving and how is that benefiting you? A common problem in the past was the time-consuming and error-prone manual accounting of expenses and travel costs. With Circula, these processes are greatly simplified and digitized, allowing us to save time, gain better oversight, and make the handling more transparent and efficient. This benefits both employees and the accounting department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Current UserValidated ReviewerSource: OrganicAI Translated MK Monika K.

I especially like the clean user interface and the simple usage. It's a great upgrade to our old system and the best thing is, that I can finally keep track of all the work related travel costs! I can also reuse old entries in case I am traveling to the same place more than once. This function saves a lot of time for me and usually all I have to change is the date of the travel.

Should I find something in the long run, I will update this review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Circula solving and how is that benefiting you? In the past I had to use an Excel Sheet which didn't have the best usability.
