Lentune and CostCode, compared
Lentune: Construction financial software for Australia and New Zealand: invoice capture, purchase orders, three-way matching and project cost management. (source: Lentune home page)
CostCode does one job: it checks every supplier invoice against the prices and charges you agreed with that supplier, before you pay, and holds the ones that are over with the proof beside the original.
Side by side
| Item | Lentune | CostCode |
|---|---|---|
| Price checks | Lentune: Says invoices are matched to POs and delivery notes and checked against agreed pricing. (source: Lentune: Invoice automation) | CostCode: Checks each line against the price list that was in force on the invoice date, including price breaks, and holds a line only when it's at least $25 and 3% over (both changeable). |
| Delivery fees and levies | Lentune: Not stated on the pages we checked. | CostCode: Checks freight, fuel levies, waiting time, minimum loads and pallets against the charges you agreed. |
| Discrepancies with suppliers | Lentune: Says any discrepancies result in automatic credits sent to suppliers. (source: Lentune: Invoice automation) | CostCode: Drafts a query to the supplier that quotes only what they agreed to, or the duplicate. Supplier email starts switched off, and a person always presses send. |
| Lines it can't check | Lentune: Not stated on the pages we checked. | CostCode: A line with nothing to check against is shown as Unverified, with the reason. It's never marked as fine. |
| Purchase orders and three-way matching | Lentune: Lists a three-way match with the PO and the delivery docket. (source: Lentune home page) | CostCode: CostCode doesn't raise purchase orders. Import yours by CSV and an invoice billed past the PO, or quoting an unknown or closed one, is held for your team. |
| Accounting and construction systems | Lentune: Lists integrations with Xero, MYOB, Procore, Jobpac Connect, CostCon and Simpro. (source: Lentune home page) | CostCode: Not yet. You keep paying invoices the way you do now; CostCode tells you which are cleared and which are held. |
| Security | Lentune: Says it holds ISO 27001 certification, with on-shore data storage. (source: Lentune home page) | CostCode: No security certification (such as ISO 27001) yet. Invoices are stored in Sydney; the security page says what we do. |
| Where | Lentune: Says it serves construction companies across Australia and New Zealand. (source: Lentune home page) | CostCode: Australia only: the checks read Australian GST and ABNs. |
| Price | Lentune: Viewed from Australia, says a typical business starts from A$900 a month with unlimited users, plus a one-time implementation fee. (source: Lentune: Pricing) | CostCode: Free for 20 invoices a month, no card and no contract. Paid plans from A$39 a month, by card, cancel any time. No GST is charged: we're not registered for GST. |
