Jokes

We can tell you we're better. Every company comparison page normally ends like this.

But have you ever seen a comparison page where the company that wrote it didn't come out on top?

Neither have we.

Any comparison you find online, including the one you were hoping to find here, was almost certainly written by someone with something to sell. So rather than dressing up our pitch as a fair fight, we'd rather just be straight with you.

Ask Facebook. Find the NDIS provider groups and ask real people what they use and what they think. Look for reviews on independent platforms. The truth about any piece of software lives in the comments section, not on the landing pages of the companies selling it.

That includes this one.

When you've done your research and you're ready to have an honest conversation, we'll be here.

The features are intuitive, making it easy to navigate and manage tasks efficiently.

Shelby Theunissen

"Easy to use, I love that I can make a task at any time for any participant and don't have to go to their file first. I love that I can generate NDIS forms with all the participants names and mine already pre-filled. I love how easy I can copy information and can copy the NDIS nr from my overview for any participant. The only thing I would like, or haven't found yet is how to put my participants in alphabetical order. I also have not checked the help info yet, which is very extensive. Would recommend Astalty for any SC. for sure."

"Astalty -Efficient and User-Friendly Platform for NDIS Service Management. Overall, my experience with Astalty has been positive. It is a user-friendly platform that helps streamline client management, documentation, scheduling, and reporting in one central location. The system has improved efficiency in day-to-day work, and while there are occasional technical issues, the benefits generally outweigh the drawbacks. I would rate Astalty highly for its ease of use, client information management, and reporting features. The platform is intuitive, helps keep participant records organised, and the calendar and reminder functions assist with managing appointments and tasks efficiently. What I like most about Astalty is that it brings client information, case notes, reporting, and scheduling into one place, making day-to-day work much more streamlined and time-efficient. "

"I was told about Astalty by a friend So I tried it out and I've been with them for several months and purchased the full subscription. I do all my admin in the evening and whenever I need help I email and I get a quick response even during the day if I want to know something I can ring and my phone calls return pretty quickly. Nothing's too small or large trust me I've asked plenty of questions And I'm always happy with the results. and if I want to look up the help myself there's a tab on the top left where you can access all the information you need. so why not check it out you have 14 days for free! What I love most is that it pairs up with Xero And the invoices are so easy to reconcile....Astalty team are awesome and their communication and feedback is quick and very helpful."

"We have been working with Astalty for just 8 weeks and it has already become a game changer in the office protocols and lightened the load of all considerably. It takes some time to get all your information integrated, but once you have, it's the GOAT for daily monitoring and meeting engagement. I honestly don't know what took us so long to make the change but I'm very glad that we did. The multi faceted nature of Astalty has eliminated the need to monitor information in several locations and this is so appreciated, especially at the end of the day. Love it."

LM

Lee Millar

"My experience with Astalty has been positive. Its easy to navigate, and helps keep all the participants most important information all together. Although, I do believe an auto save or draft feature would be extremely helpful to prevent notes from disappearing while working. What I like most about Astalty is that it is easy to use. It keeps all the participant information, tasks, notes and service agreements all in one place, which helps me stay organised and saves a lot of time."
