What it is
An expense-tracking app for startups is a web tool where you log every cash outflow, tag it by category and team, and watch your monthly burn and runway in one dashboard. It keeps founders always aware of how many months of cash are left.
What your startups expense tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for startups.
Expense date
Marks when cash left, needed to calculate monthly burn accurately.
Category
Sorts spend into payroll, infra, tools, marketing, and legal — the buckets investors ask about.
Amount
The cash spent — the number burn rate is built from.
Department / team
Shows whether the money is being deployed into engineering, sales, or ops.
Vendor
Records who was paid so you can spot bloated SaaS and infra bills.
Recurring vs one-time
Separates fixed monthly burn from one-off costs for clean runway math.
Payment method
Notes which card or account so co-founders can reconcile against statements.
Budget line
Ties the spend to your financial model so you can see over/under vs plan.
Receipt upload
Attaches proof, needed for the eventual audit and investor due diligence.

Frequently asked questions
Can it connect to our Brex/Ramp or bank account to track burn automatically?+
No, Kleap doesn't integrate with card platforms or bank feeds. You enter expenses into your own database and it totals burn and runway from those records. It won't replace a corporate-card tool's auto-feed, but it gives you a custom burn dashboard you fully control.
Does it sync with QuickBooks or Xero for our accountant?+
No, there's no accounting integration. Kleap holds your categorized expenses and receipts, and you export or share them with your accountant, but the books themselves stay in your accounting software.
Can the board see burn without being able to edit anything?+
Yes. Kleap supports logins and roles, so you can give board members or investors read-only access to the burn dashboard while your team keeps edit rights. Everyone sees the number; only your team changes it.
Is there a mobile app for the team to log expenses on the go?+
There's no installable app — Kleap builds a responsive website, so the team logs expenses in a mobile browser. It's fully usable on a phone, it just isn't downloaded from an app store.
