Cledara Reviews & Product Details

I like most the funkctionalities - virtual cards (easy to create, ease to delete or deactivate); login tracking in Engage (used both for quarterly login audits and also to delete accounts during employees offboarding ; reminders upon agreements termination date; accounting fields to manage in ERP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automatic upload of invoices doesn't work properly (many invoices are not uploaded despite theay are sent to a proper address and have "invoice" in the topic; a feature that we are missing is informing us upfront if the next day /few days planned payments exceed the amount we keep on Cledara account (it happened once that by coincident two major payments were around the same day and one was not paid because the amount on the account was too low); tracking is imperfect as does not alow tracking those on MackBooks or other explorer than default.

I really appreciate how easy to use Cledara is, especially considering its clean interface, which makes it accessible even for those not in finance. This ease of interaction encourages broader use across our organization. The support team is consistently responsive, which adds to the positive experience. The renewal features are particularly valuable, allowing us to monitor upcoming renewals, avoid surprise costs, and negotiate better deals. I find the benchmarking aspect beneficial for comparing with other companies. The workflows for access requests streamline processes for onboarding new employees, managing existing employees, and effectively dealing with offboarding, which enhances operational efficiency. Virtual cards are a fantastic addition, providing flexibility with spending limits and better visibility of all our expenses. This feature simplifies the process for employees who may not have company cards to make approved one-off purchases, further extending management control over spending. Overall, Cledara gives us better control and visibility over our SaaS spend, which is immensely beneficial for our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the integration with our accounting system lacking, as we're not currently on the list of systems that Cledara links to. This means we have to manually export CSV files and upload them, adding more manual intervention than we would like. Additionally, handling multiple entities is not as seamless as it could be; it would be beneficial if we could integrate them into our whole subscription package rather than taking out a totally new subscription.

As a Finance Director in e-commerce, we run a large, fast-changing SaaS stack across marketing, ops, CX, and data. Cledara gives us one place to see, approve, and control everything. Ownership and soft budgets are easy to set up, so accountability sits with teams while Finance keeps guardrails. Credits on spend lower our effective cost over time, which helps offset fees and small tools that add up. Day-to-day approvals are quick, and the overview makes month-end cleaner—fewer surprises, fewer duplicate payments, and clearer cost allocation by cost center or team. Implementation was straightforward, and new approvers pick it up quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Two improvements would create more automatic savings. First, stronger on-/offboarding support—eg, HRIS-driven prompts, per-tool playbooks, and checklists—so seats and cards are reclaimed when people move roles or leave. Second, more prescriptive insights: flag overlapping tools, recommend license right-sizing based on usage, and surface renewal benchmarks with suggested actions. For multi-market e-com, deeper guidance on duplicate vendors across entities and currencies would also help convert visibility into cash savings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cledara has completely simplified how I manage software and subscriptions. The platform makes everything easy to view and organise, and I always know I’m up to date with invoices. It also fully integrates with our finance system, which saves a huge amount of time and energy as I no longer need to reconcile accounts manually.

I especially love the ability to issue separate cards for each subscription. If someone leaves the company, I can instantly cancel the card linked to their licence while waiting on customer service, which saves so much time and avoids unnecessary charges. It gives me full visibility, control, and confidence in managing our SaaS stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does add an extra step to the process, since I need to top up the account rather than having subscriptions come directly from the main bank account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m quite new to Cledara, having used it for only a couple of months, but I’m already very impressed. The platform has significantly improved the way we manage our software subscriptions — everything now feels organised and under control.

We no longer have multiple subscriptions spread across different credit cards, which used to make tracking spend and renewals a real challenge. With Cledara, everything is centralised and easy to oversee.

The interface is intuitive and clear, giving us full visibility over payments, renewals, and budgets. Even in a short time, it’s made a noticeable difference to how efficiently we manage our software.

Overall, Cledara is well designed, effective, and has given us much greater control and transparency. I would recommend it to any business looking to simplify and streamline their subscription management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The USD account is new, and there are several important grey areas that have been challenging and need clarification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Streamlined Software Management

Cledara has proven to be a valuable tool for centralizing our software subscriptions and related processes. The ability to have all our software in one place is incredibly helpful for several key reasons:

Effortless Seat Tracking: We can easily monitor and manage the number of seats for each software, ensuring we're optimizing our licenses and avoiding unnecessary costs.

Seamless Onboarding and Offboarding: The platform significantly simplifies the process of granting and revoking access to software for new hires and departing team members, improving efficiency and security.

Empowered Team Spending with Virtual Cards: The feature allowing team members to use virtual credit cards for purchases is a major benefit. It provides control and transparency over spending while empowering individuals to make necessary purchases quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Past Service Disruptions and Learning Curve

While generally satisfied, our experience with Cledara has not been without its challenges:

Past Service Disruptions: We encountered a significant service disruption in the past that proved to be a considerable challenge for our business operations. This incident was serious enough that it led us to consider alternative solutions.

Initial Learning Curve: There was a noticeable learning curve when first adopting the software. While we've overcome this, it required an initial investment of time and effort from our team to fully understand and utilize all its features.

Despite the past service disruption, we ultimately decided to remain with Cledara, recognizing the overall benefits it provides to our software management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to get new software tools approved by finance, and how quick it can be to get access to existing tools. As a user in a hybrid team, it doesn't matter if our finance team is working from home or in the office, the tool will always get approved seamlessly.

I also love having a live directory where I can see all the tools that are available to use in the company! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much I don't like, the user experience is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cledara gives us immediate visibility into our entire software stack—what we’re using, who owns it, how much it costs, and whether it’s still worth it. Instead of chasing down scattered invoices or guessing what’s actually being used, we can make clear, data-backed decisions. It’s helped us cut duplicate tools, reclaim unused licenses, and stay in control of spend without slowing down the teams that need the tools to do their jobs.

The built-in workflows around approvals, renewals, and budgeting are simple but powerful. They strike the right balance between control and speed—no more rogue SaaS subscriptions or nasty auto-renewal surprises. It’s like having a real-time operating system for SaaS management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cledara is strong on visibility and control, but a few areas could be smoother. The user interface, while generally clean, can feel a bit clunky when navigating between different parts of the platform—especially when managing multiple subscriptions or updating payment methods in bulk.

Some integrations (like with finance or accounting tools) could be deeper or more customizable. It would also be helpful if reporting allowed for more granular filtering and exporting, particularly when reconciling spend across teams or mapping to budget codes.

That said, their support team is responsive, and we’ve seen steady product improvements, so we’re optimistic these friction points will continue to get better over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I greatly appreciate Cledara’s subscription management capabilities which enable us to efficiently handle all subscriptions in one place. I find the company cards, both virtual and physical, extremely valuable for quick issuance and easy expense tracking. The integration with Xero has significantly enhanced our financial efficiency. The software is well-built, user-friendly, and aids in managing finances clearly, providing a central hub for overview and control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup of Cledara took a significant amount of time due to the need to input numerous subscriptions. Additionally, while the support from the account manager was helpful, I felt there could be more regular interaction to ensure we're using the software most effectively and to teach us new features. This lack of proactive engagement is a minor issue, but having more frequent check-ins would enhance our experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are able to have greater control over our SaaS. Easy Integration with a lot of platfoms and a great customer support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Two-way authentication can be annoying at times, but I understand why it is necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
