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.

"Support Coordinator Experience - Sole Trader. Excellent overall experience. I like that when I reach out for support, they respond quickly and really try to understand what I am trying to achieve. Astalty can be as simple or as intricate as you want it to be. It is user friendly and intuitive and the support is excellent - both the FAQ's and videos and the very quick customer service. They listen when you suggest something that will be useful to add. It really is an all in one package for support coordination and it makes my role easier. It is easy to add employees or contractors to and it supports the back end of my business with integration to Xero. Excellent investment and great value for money. "

"Outstanding Service and Exceptional Team! Astalty has been an absolute standout to work with. From my first interaction, the team demonstrated professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care. Their attention to detail, efficiency, and commitment to achieving great outcomes made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What sets Astalty apart is their ability to combine strong technical knowledge with a personal, client-centred approach. They take the time to understand individual needs and deliver results that truly align with goals and expectations. It’s rare to find a team that’s this responsive, reliable, and passionate about what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Astalty to anyone looking for quality, integrity, and genuine support. — Desiree M."

"As a Support Coordinator sole trader I'm incredibly happy with Astalty and it's central to my work. Record keeping, noting, billing, plan details and service details, and calendar appointments, are all in one place and work together. I'm most grateful for the ease of noting and tracking small tasks, meaning even when things get really busy I can stay on top of record keeping and invoicing for my small business. And an honourable mention to the support provided which is always fast, friendly and helpful!"

Russell Pullin

"Over 20 years in Client Services Team within Community field including Health Departments I have use a lot of different CRM's. ASTALTY is definitely one of my favourites. It's simple but enough, does every thing you need it to without the complicated components that you never use anyway. Sure there a few things like all systems that could be streamlined, but I'm sure soon enough the Astalty team will put in an upgrade to fix these things. I think because it is specifically designed for purpose there is not all these adds to try to make a system do something it was not designed to do. I have been able to work most parts out myself without having to consult the user guides....this is how straight forward it is.....IT JUST MAKES SENSE. #iluvastalty"

"Astalty is a brilliant program! I've been using it for over a year in my Support Coordination business, and it has completely transformed the way I work. From case noting and reports to invoicing, everything is streamlined in one place, saving me countless hours. The system is user-friendly, efficient, and well-designed for NDIS professionals. On top of that, the support team is incredibly responsive and always ready to assist if needed. If you're looking for a reliable and time-saving solution, I highly recommend signing up for Astalty!"

"Week 4 into my new business (Positive Empowerment) providing Support Coordination services. I have previously used different software to support in managing and keeping notes on participants, but after by chance being sent an email by Astalty I jumped on and had a look and it has been amazing! I have trialled this and I can say I am very very happy with this product and services it provides! It is straight forward, simple to use and not over complicated- it took me no more than a day to learn how to use it and be able to confidently navigate my way around it! Highly reccomend."

"As an NDIS Support Coordination service, we rely heavily on systems that are intuitive, reliable, and built with a genuine understanding of the sector. Astalty has exceeded every expectation. The platform is beautifully designed—clean, modern, and incredibly easy to navigate. Every feature feels purposeful, and the workflow just makes sense. It’s rare to find software that balances aesthetics with functionality so well, but Astalty achieves this effortlessly. What truly sets Astalty apart, though, is their exceptional customer service. The team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping services like ours succeed. Their dedication to continually improving the product, listening to user feedback, and staying aligned with NDIS requirements is evident in every update. Astalty has become an indispensable part of our operations. It supports our team to work efficiently, maintain high-quality documentation, and stay focused on what matters most—supporting participants. We couldn’t recommend it more highly."

"Healthy Emporium has been using Astalty since July 2023. Looking into new CRM providers was overwhelming with so much on the market however when we connected with Astalty we knew it was the platform we wanted to be on. The task seemed overwhelming moving all our participants data across from one CRM to another but Astalty supported immensely in that process. In the past year since switching the growth of the Astalty CRM has been AMAZING. They take on board the feedback we provide and adapt what they can to make our jobs easier. The features Astalty provides has really minimised our admin time and started to streamline things for us. Highly recommend you won't be disappointed in fact you will be disappointed you didn't do it sooner once you get in and realise just how good it is."

"(I wrote the below review 2 years ago and I'm still with them. The review is still accurate. My company has tripled in size since the original review and it has grown with us. The changes in the platform have been what we have been asking for with a few extra we didn't. If you're looking for a platform for Support Coordination stop looking Astalty is the best)I signed up to Astalty after trailing a few other premium platforms. I am very glad I did and have not regretted my decision.Astalty is incredibly easy to use and probably the best platform for Support Coordinators as everything is built around tasks.James has been incredibly responsive with minor bugs and feedback. Most of the time he knows there is an issue before I do. When I find an issue/bug its fixed the same day. Communication is fantastic. James encourages feedback and I genuinely feel I have a say as to what features should be included. It almost feels like it was built just for me. I have several other support coordinators who use the Astalty and they are grateful we switched. It saves them so much time tracking tasks and doing admin and they can provide more support to our participants. As an owner/manager Asltaly provides clear and easy-to-see data on how we are tracking billable hours and funding. I almost don’t want to recommend Astalty as I feel it gives me an edge over the competition 😊"

"Astalty has proven to be an exceptional platform for my work as both a case coordinator and support coordinator. With a wide range of features, many of which I have yet to explore, it significantly streamlines tasks and allows for more efficient use of my time without the need for duplication. The support team is always readily available to address any issues and promptly action requests. If only Astalty had developed the new NDIS PACE system, now that would have been amazing!"

"Brilliant NDIS Provider Solution. Incredibly positive. Any questions I have had have usually been answered by their training videos and guides, and anything that wasn't they are very good at getting back to you and explaining. Astalty houses all the features for a comprehensive NDIS provider service, from client information to invoicing. The ability to export reports saves participants time and funding, and the customer support action requests very efficiently. "

"My experience has been great, coming from previous system's. I would highly suggest this software to companies wanting to improve there work flow and improve capacity for auditing purpose's in addition to simplifying your invoicing. Asalty has improved mine and our teams ability, to efficiently manage our workload. Through its many resource's and process, from case noting to simplifying the invoicing process."

"Easy to use. Very positive. It is simple to use and understand. There are lots of instructional videos and FAQs that more often than not answer any questions I have. find Astalty easy to use. I like how simple it is to search through notes/tasks to find specific information. It makes compliance easy with auto-filling documents with participant information. They implement new ideas to help keep up to date with the forever changing landscape that is the NDIS. I like being able to include alerts at the top of a participant's profile to ensure my colleagues are aware of pertinent information if they need to work with my participant for whatever reason, thus improving safety and quality of service provided to our participants.

"Streamlines my entire work week and makes it easier to keep on top of tasks that I have done and everything else that needs to be done. Being able to have everything in the one place leaves me more time to do the important work of Support Coordination and less time trying to find files or documents, because its all there.Customer service is 2nd to none. The team at Astalty are always there to help (mainly when I've done something wrong!!). Weekly training sessions are very helpful.100% would recommend :)"

"As a small business, having software that reduces time spent on non-billable tasks has been revolutionary. Astalty allows me to develop, monitor, implement and document all aspects of support for my clients and it is not cost prohibitive for my small business. The customer service is exceptional - no question is "dumb" and even if I should have found the answer myself, I am always supported with a smile and respectful response.I would be lost without Astalty."
