Business spend tracking

Know exactly where the money goes.

Outlay is a simple, secure way for your team to log daily spending, see who spent what, stay inside budget, and get instant reports — no spreadsheets.

Self-hosted · Your data stays on your server · Two-factor login

Everything you need to control spending

Built for small teams that want clarity without accounting software complexity.

Spending by category

Log every expense under categories you define — office supplies, hosting, leads, dialers, anything.

Who spent what

Give each person an account and see exactly who made every purchase, with full history.

Budgets & allocation

Managers set budgets for the whole team, a category, or one person, and watch usage in real time.

Approval flow

Require sign-off on expenses above a limit. Pending items stay out of totals until approved.

Receipts attached

Add photos or PDF receipts to any expense. Files are scanned, stored safely, and kept with the record.

Recurring expenses

Set subscriptions and rent to repeat weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. They post automatically.

Multi-currency & tax

Record expenses in any currency with tax fields. Everything converts to one base currency for totals.

Instant reports

One click gives totals by category, person, and period, with ready presets and CSV export.

Budget alerts

Get a heads-up in the app the moment a budget passes 80% or 100% — before overspending happens.

Up and running in minutes

No training required. If your team can fill in a form, they can use Outlay.

Serious about security

Your financial data is sensitive. Outlay is hardened from the ground up and runs on your own server.

Two-factor authentication — optional app-based 2FA, and it can be required for all admins.
Brute-force protection — accounts lock after repeated failed logins; attempts are rate-limited.
Strong password rules — modern hashing, common passwords blocked, forced change on first login.
Encrypted connection — all traffic is served over HTTPS with a trusted certificate.
Audit log — every sensitive action is recorded so you can see who did what, and when.
Safe file handling — uploaded receipts are verified and stored in isolation, never trusted blindly.
Session control — sessions expire automatically and you can log out every device at once.
Self-hosted — runs entirely on your infrastructure. No third-party sees your numbers.
