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

"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."

"Astalty is a simple to use and effective platform for completing all of the daily requirements as a Support Coordinator. Astalty manages to keep all of the relevant information, documentation and case-notes all in one place without over-complicating things. The team at Astalty are always quick to respond whenever there are any questions that need answering or when support is needed. I can't recommend Astalty highly enough!"

"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."

"Astalty saved me hours with billing alone- what use to take me 2-3 hours every fortnight using excel, now takes me about 10 minutes. I particularly appreciated the support guide, the phone/email support, and the free 1:1 for more trickier issues when first finding my way around the software. This software has everything you need to operate a COS business-to track spending, budget a client's plan, store important documents with the ability to set reminders for service agreements, client plans and other documents that require regular review etc. Progress notes are all in one place and I can attach a document to a progress note. The search feature makes it easy to find documents. I skipped the free version and went straight to premium for the document generation (it pre-fills agreements, client plans and NDIS templates) and e-signature software."

"Atalty has changed the way we do business and record the support we provide. The intuitive nature of the platform means that we can spend more time with the people we support and less time duplicating records and reports.Becuase it can be integrated with finance platforms like Xero, it also streamlines our payment processes.If you run a Support Coordination Business Do YOURSELF A FAVOUR and arrange a demo with the team."

"Support Coordinator. My overall experience with Astalty has been very positive. I would recommend Astalty to many different providers, as it's a very functional program that is very effective. I like the overall ease of use, support provided throughout the process of using Astalty. It is a very straightforward program to navigate and the services offered are accessible but easy to understand. As a Support Coordinator the overall depth to what can be used, it is exactly what is needed to help make my job that bit easier day in and day out. "

"A Surprisingly Simple, Streamlined System for NDIS Support Coordination. My overall experience with Astalty has been extremely positive. In a sector where many systems feel clunky, outdated, or overly complicated, Astalty stands out for its simplicity, speed, and user-friendly design. It genuinely reduces administrative friction and supports efficient, accurate management of NDIS participants. For Support Coordinators juggling high caseloads and complex needs, having a system that “just works” makes a noticeable difference. Astalty has become one of the easiest platforms I’ve used in the field, and it supports both productivity and clarity in a way that many other systems don’t. Exceptionally easy to navigate — compared to other sector systems, Astalty feels intuitive from the first login. There’s no hunting through menus or guessing where things live. Purpose-built for Support Coordination — the workflows actually match how we operate day to day, which reduces admin time and cognitive load. Clean, uncluttered interface — everything is laid out logically, making it quick to update notes, track funding, and manage participant information. Fast to learn — even for new staff or those transitioning from other platforms, the learning curve is minimal. Reliable performance — pages load quickly, and the system doesn’t feel “heavy” or over-engineered."

"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."

"ASTATLY - All Efficiency, All class. Amazing, 10/10 cannot rate astalty high enough to any providers out there wanting a low cost, quality system that streamlines operations. The simplistic design allows for little confusion when operating and training with Astalty. We began using astalty for Support Coordination. The Department can now onboarding, intake, case note, budget track, progress report, risk assessment practically everything with absolulte ease. Invoicing is extremely simple, with an entire run taking about a minute and that is including CSV upload. The customer support is extremely helpful, and urgent with their matters and responses. Cannot recommend ASTALTY high enough to anyone in Support Coordination, Allied Health Services or Service Delivery"

"A Game-Changer for Support Coordination. My overall experience with Astalty has been extremely positive. It has become an essential part of my day-to-day operations and has helped me manage my growing caseload more effectively. The system is intuitive, reliable, and designed with Support Coordinators in mind. I particularly appreciate how it reduces administrative burden, allowing me to spend more time supporting participants and families. I would highly recommend Astalty to any Support Coordinator or NDIS provider looking for a comprehensive and user-friendly CRM solution. Astalty has completely streamlined my workflow as a Support Coordinator. The platform is easy to navigate, saves me significant time on administration, and keeps all client information, notes, tasks, and documentation organised in one place. The automation features and reporting tools have improved my efficiency and helped me provide a better service to my clients."
