Hard to ‘make macros’ or create recurring data searches > > Frustrating and not user-friendly. For context, this is perhaps the sixth software that I’ve had to learn in three years ----- ### "Planful is a must have" — 5.0/5 > **Purva** | *January 21, 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy and accessible the app is. It’s easy to use and helps me plan well. > > **Cons**: I have nothing to write that’s bad about planful. It’s helped me become so much more productive > > I enjoy planful it’s made me more accountable and productive in my daily life. ----- ### "A Must Have and Reliable Business Accounting Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Marjo** | *December 17, 2024* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the great accounting features and capabilities. Handles business accounting like a pro and allows multiple integrations. > > **Cons**: Planful has met most of our needs seamlessly. No dislikes. ----- ### "Execeptional accounting software" — 4.0/5 > **ayoub** | *April 25, 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I originally got into Host for budgeting and it has been great for that, but I have found it great for many other things. I also love the way it can grow with me. With Planful I have improved my marketing objectives in a more professional way, giving better campaigns and with smarter strategies that help to manage better. Its attractive pricing and feature rich functionality and great support make it a solid offering to prospective users. > > **Cons**: I have nothing to write that’s bad about planful. A data pull is not immediate and can cause some frustration if data is not pulled 100% accurately the first time. The interface is pretty dated. I also mainly use chrome as my browser and there seems to be a lag time when scrolling in a template which is a bit of a pain. > > My experience with Planful has been breath-taking. The software is at another level. It has an automatic analytics and measurement system which ensures effective implementation. ----- ### "Execeptional accounting software" — 5.0/5 > **Gideon** | *March 16, 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Effectiveness of the software in account progress management and account based advertising. > > **Cons**: The software is very comprehensive and reliable. No dislike. > > My experience with Planful has been breath-taking. The software is at another level.
