Astalty vs ShiftCare

Every feature, at one price.

The people who built Astalty used to run NDIS businesses, that experience is in every part of the product.

Ownership

Privately owned. No investors.

Astalty is 100% Australian-owned by people who've worked directly in the NDIS sector, not investors, not private equity.

We've seen what happens to software when the priorities shift from providers to profit margins. When a fund takes a stake, the product stops being built for you. They start looking at other markets, and before long, your calls are being answered from overseas.

70% of Astalty staff have NDIS experience.

James & Jono, why we built Astalty, and why we're keeping it ours.

Security & data

Built in Australia. Stored in Australia. Reviewed by Australians.

We also refuse to send development or customer support offshore. Every person who touches Astalty's code, or picks up the phone to help you, is based here in Australia.

ISO 27001 Certified

The highest independently audited information security standard.

Astalty is ISO 27001 accredited, which requires a full independent audit of how data is stored, accessed, and protected.

We don't send data offshore. We don't route it through overseas infrastructure. Everything, participant records, invoices, progress notes, documents, is stored in Australian data centres.

Human-Reviewed Releases

Every line of code is reviewed by a human.

We haven't handed the keys to automated pipelines. Every change to Astalty's codebase goes through human review before it reaches your data.

Thoughtful AI Development

We're being thoughtful about AI.

AI tools are appearing fast across care management software, and we think that's genuinely useful. But we're conscious about where to apply it, which models to trust, and how to make sure your data stays within Australian privacy principles. We're still researching. We're not rushing to build anything we're not confident in.

"We’d tried other rostering apps before, but haven’t seen the same level of success we’re now getting with Astalty. The team is always listening and building the features we need, and our staff find it really user-friendly."

Elaine Diphoorn · Google Review

"Everything we need, the service provider and support coordination side, is all in one tool. No more jumping between different systems. It’s streamlined, intuitive, and by far the best software we’ve used in the industry."

Mine Dursun · Google Review

"We switched from another program and took a gamble on Astalty. What a difference it’s made. The support team are amazing, every request gets taken on board, and it’s so easy to keep track of things for participants."

Pricing

Some competitors start their prices at $9. When you add it up, it can be 5.5 times that amount.

Minimum seat requirements lock you in before you've started. Tiers mean the features that actually matter for running a well-rounded NDIS business are rarely on the entry plan.

Astalty is one price, GST inclusive, no seat minimums, every feature from day one.

Pricing and features based on available information through ShiftCare's website, June 2026.

Here's the thing a feature list won't tell you.

Most software looks the same on paper. What separates them is how they hold up in your actual operation, day in, day out. The features that take extra steps to make happen, or that don't quite work as advertised, are the ones that cost providers the most.

So don't just trust us. Do your research. Talk to people who use both and ask them the hard questions. Then get a demonstration of each one. Take the workflows that eat up the most of your time right now and watch them run, step by step, in both platforms. See it firsthand. That's the only way to get a real feel for what actually works best for you.

A decision this size deserves more than a comparison page, ours included.

Astalty reviews on Capterra

"We have been using this program for just over a month now, it was easy to set up and James offered amazing support when transferring clients from our previous CRM."

TM

Tammy McLeod

"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."

TH

Tamara Hayes

"I work at two different companies, that use different programs. I find that Astalty is far superior, for its ease of use. The way it is laid out makes it all really easy and efficient. I will be trying to get the other company to use Astalty as well."

LG

Linda Grellet

"Astalty is a great CRM for Support Coordination. I have previously ustilise Careview and find Astalty more suited for recording, case noting and storing documentation"

PG

Peda Garnaut

"Astalty is one of the best software's on the market and we use it daily for our NDIS Support Coordination provider business. The support team are wonderful and are very helpful."

SC

Sami Charnock

"Astalty has transformed how we manage support coordination. It’s incredibly easy to use, saves us time, and ensures our team always has access to the correct templates and records for both participants and internal users. The support team is knowledgeable and quick to respond, which makes a huge difference. We’ve seen Astalty grow with regular feature updates, and the free weekly training and follow-ups help keep our entire company aligned. It’s clear the developers truly understand the needs of NDIS professionals. Highly recommended!"

Sue Bannon

"Value for money. As a new business, we put a lot of thought into choosing the right customer record management system. Astalty was by far the easiest to use and offered the best value for money. Any system issues we've encountered have been resolved quickly, usually within an hour, and we've never experienced a full-day outage. Overall, we've found it to be a reliable and user-friendly platform. One of the features I really like about Astalty is the ability to add photos directly to participant files, which helps personalise records and makes identification easier for staff. The pricing structure is also straightforward, with costs based on the number of users rather than participant numbers. This provides flexibility for growing organisations, and there are no restrictions on the number of participant records you can add to the system. "

Samantha

"As an independent support coordinator, Astalty has saved me so much time with manual tasks. Beforehand, I was using multiple different programs to get my work completed, keeping contacts in a word document, making forms manually on word, etc. Now, everything is included in the one program and I don't have to switch between different tabs for one task. It's saving funding for my participants also."

Megan Stewart

"I recommend Astalty for any support coordinators or allied therapists who are thinking of moving across to a Client Management System . Total Care Team has been using One Drive and word docs for a few years and with the growth in the business it became evident that a CMS system was needed to streamline procedures and save time .I have trialed numerous CMS and looked at nearly every system on the market and decided on Astalty . The decision has not been a disappointment at all. Saves huge amount of time entering notes in the task window and billable time is more trackable . Fund utilization keeps us more on track and reduces over servicing. Astalty have been very responsive to our individual requirements and resolve any issues we have faced during set up in a timely way. Well done Astalty ( A System That Always Listens to You ) Regards Sussanne P"

"YPYW (Your Path Your Way) switched from another CRM to Astalty, and since then our team has been more efficient, less weighed down by administrative tasks, and the support we provide is more effective for the people we assist. We highly recommend Astalty for support coordination."

Dalton Hall

"Excellent program for Support Coordinators. Overall experience has been incredible. From the quick contact when having troubles to everyday tasks running smoother because of their systems. Astalty is easy to use, covers a lot of what we need and is always building on industry changes fast. They are easy to connect with for help and have loads of videos online to follow for support. "

Jessica

"We started using Astalty software in around January and have been extremely happy with the platform. The team has been fantastic in implementing changes based on our requests, always listening and building new features tailored to what we need for our clients. The service is exceptional, with very quick follow-up times whenever we need support. Having tried other rostering apps in the past, we haven’t experienced the same level of success that we’re now seeing with Astalty. All of our staff consistently comment on how user-friendly the system is, and having all of our forms built into the platform has made recording data an absolute breeze, especially for NDIS requirements."

ED

Elaine Diphoorn

"Moving to Astalty has been the single best business decision we've made.The power, the flexibility the ability to customise means less time for my team logging admin hours and more time with participants.From a management perspective, I can report directly from the system meaning I am free of transposing data to spreadsheets.Astalty's customer service is top notch, which is a rarity these days.10 out of 10 Astalty."

"I've been using Astalty for about a year, and I'm really impressed. The platform is user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to navigate. I appreciate the comprehensive features, from task management to analytics and collaboration options. The customer support is prompt and helpful, showing that the team cares about its users. Overall, Astalty has become essential to my workflow, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient platform for personal or team tasks."

"Astalty is fantastic and works really well for keeping track and billing for NDIS supports. I am a Support Coordinator and I find that Astalty has everything that I need to record case notes, store documents and invoice for payment."

AD

Ashleigh Dougherty

"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. "

"As a new Independent Support Coordinator (3wks) with 6 years' experience using other SC databases. All I can say is wow I am so glad I have made the 'Astalty' choice. Easy to use and excellent customer service before I even signed up. Haven't needed to contact support once started using, easy to use and great online user guides. Thank you - having everything in one place, no more multiple documents - Amazing!"

"Signed up with Astatly from another software provider. Astalty is super easy to use and to record necessary information and to keep admin to a minimum. Great for small support coordinator businesses."

MC

"Glad we made the switch. From day one, when we decided to make the change, everyone at Astalty was incredibly helpful and supportive. We now have a relatively large team, and the system has grown with us every step of the way. It's clear that the program continues to improve, with new features and enhancements making it even more valuable for our business. We look forward to seeing it continue to evolve and support our team's growth. I like how proactive the team are. Open to assist at any time, and to take of feedback/requests as well. So approachable."

"The First CRM I’ve Actually Enjoyed Using I have been working as a Support Coordinator for over five years and throughout that time I’ve used a range of CRM platforms including ShiftCare, Brevity, VisualCare, and MYP. By far, I have found Vostality to be the most effective and satisfactory platform for my role. As a Support Coordinator, I spend a significant amount of time working within CRM systems, and I’ve found Vostality to be the easiest to navigate and understand. It has made day-to-day workflow much more efficient and has improved my confidence in maintaining documentation, managing budgets, completing shift notes, and accessing templates all within the one system. Overall, it has been a very positive experience so far. I’m looking forward to continuing to build additional templates and further streamline my workflow and documentation processes moving forward. What I like most about Astalty is how easy it is to access and use as a Support Coordinator. The platform makes day-to-day workflow much quicker and more efficient, particularly regarding templates, task management, case notes, funding and budget tracking, and uploading documents. It is very user friendly and streamlines a lot of the administrative side of Support Coordination, allowing coordinators to spend less time navigating systems and more time focusing on participants and service delivery."

"Astalty has been a game-changer in navigating the complexities of the NDIS and support coordination. The team is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the individuals and families they work with. They go above and beyond to ensure services are tailored, funding is used efficiently, and participants feel supported every step of the way. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional and compassionate support service!"

"As a small independent Support Coordination team, Astalty has changed the way we do business! We’ve finally let go of the admin tasks and spreadsheets that were consuming so much of our time, we’re now more productive and efficient. Our participant data is secure, organised and easily accessible. The interface is intuitive and user friendly, and adding and tracking tasks is a breeze.The training content available is very helpful, and the customer service and helpdesk is professional and responsive.It really has boosted our business productivity and we are so glad we made the jump."

"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."

"I have recently started using Astalty after trying multiple other platforms. Astalty is very easy to use, has a lot of handy NDIS information built in and is very intuitive. I can tell that it has been created by people in the NDIS space because the layout, and information flow, works wonderfully."

SS

Steve Sheahan

"Great CRM! Our experience has been nothing but positive. Representatives are always knowledgeable and easy to get in touch with. We use it for Support Coordination and would not every consider moving anywhere else. It is the most user friendly CRM we have used for Coordination, and does everything in line with requirements of our role."

J

Josie

"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!"

"(Written on behalf of Tara Sayer Support Services) - I've found Astalty really easy to adapt to, and it's been a boon for my business.

It's great."
