Budgeting, transparency, and performance-reporting software for local governments and school districts, known for automated budget books and public dashboards.
Procurery Insight
ClearGov is an independent budgeting-and-transparency specialist (not part of OpenGov or Tyler) that resonates with small and mid-size cities, towns, and school districts wanting modern budget-book automation and public-facing transparency dashboards without a full ERP replacement. Its strength is turning existing financial data into polished operating/capital budgets and citizen-facing visualizations quickly. The tradeoff is scope: it is a budgeting and reporting layer that sits alongside the core financial system rather than replacing general ledger or payroll, so it is best evaluated as a complement to the ERP.
Procurery's independent editorial assessment — written by us, not the vendor. Sponsorship never alters our take.
Illustrative figures, not verified buyer interviews — we're replacing them with data sourced from public award records. This is the hardest-to-copy layer: provenance-tracked and concentrated on the vendors buyers actually shortlist.
| Agency type | Population | Price band | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| City | 25k-100k | $20k-$60k / yr | Replaced spreadsheet-driven budgeting; public dashboard launched alongside the operating budget. |
