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.

Astalty reviews on Capterra

"A perfect CRM not only for support coordinators but also for behaviour support practitioners. Makes it so easy to bill and case note clients through the day. Quick and seamless."

Michael Caballero

"Overall really good. I really like it. While there are a few things I would change, the overall functionality is great. I would recommend. It is good value for money and easy to use. Some pros are: Having everything you need in one place. Being able to make templates. Tracking utilisation of a participants funds when work has been completed. That when you click on information (e.g. NDIS number, addresses) it automatically copies it - so you can quickly transfer information."

The platform is incredibly user-friendly, with everything designed to be simple and efficient. The training provided is exceptional and ensures users stay up to date with new and improved features, which are continually evolving. Customer service is outstanding—the team is highly responsive, helpful, and always willing to assist with questions or requests. Their support makes a real difference in the overall experience. In terms of value for money, Astalty far outweighs any other product I have come across. The reporting capabilities are clear, comprehensive, and easy to use. Overall, I absolutely love Astalty and would highly recommend it to others in the sector. I love everything about this platform, from ease of use with client information, risk management, reporting to the customer support and value for money spot on."

"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.

"I love Astalty! I am 105 😊 and hate having to learn and be taught new computer systems that make no sense to me and I only land up using a small fraction of the program. Astalty is so user friendly, I didn’t need any training, easy to follow, customise, update and does what I need it to do.It is also very affordable and I think whoever designed this program thinks the same way I do. It honestly makes my life so much easier and the tasks being converted to billings makes sure that I can keep everything I need to do and follow up on in one place and, I actually get paid for everything I do now, and it is accurate!Now that it connects to Xero, even my accountant is happy!Tracy YoungPersonal Development CoachYoung Consulting WA"

Courtney Rodwell

"I've used numerous CRM systems for support coordination and case management, and Astalty is the best, by far!Astalty is incredibly well priced and represents insane value for money. You're not capped in any way re the number of Participant profiles you can create like other platforms (which also cost 3 times as much per month). The responsiveness of the team and the help guides and videos make everything super clear, and the invoicing component is BRILLIANT. I'm not a Xero user, and have no issues at all managing the invoicing side of things in Astalty. I was adament I would keep my manual invoicing process in place when I made the switch to Astalty, but the boys convinced me to trust the system - and as a result I've now got an extra 2 to 3 hours a fortnight!"
