What it is

It supports budget planning, spend analysis, variance tracking, forecasting, scenario planning, ROI reporting, and approval workflows.

Teams can compare budget versions and activate one while sharing actuals, categories, and permissions. Category-level access controls and threaded comments support work on individual budget lines. Listed connections include Google Ads, LinkedIn, Meta, TikTok Ads, Google Sheets, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Attio, HubSpot, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and MCP-compatible assistants.
