Digits is the ledger and accounting system of record.
The ledger and system of record.
AI isn't a feature; it's the foundation. Digits is AI-native, powered by the Agentic General Ledger™ (AGL®). Proprietary models built for accounting and trained on 180 million real transactions representing nearly $1 trillion in financial activity auto-book, reconcile, and review continuously, then surface only the exceptions that need a human.
AI-first ERP with a proprietary accounting model (LAM) trained on accounting data, but it doesn’t clearly publish a comparable benchmark methodology and results.
Digits automatically reconciles your accounts to bank statements (uploaded or connected) and flags only what needs review, so you can trust your numbers without doing the busywork. Reconciliation happens continuously, not just at month-end.
Closer to a traditional close workflow with AI assist: it flags discrepancies during reconciliation, but you still draft and approve the reconciliation.
Ask Digits is your ledger-native assistant, purpose-built for accounting. It understands your financial data and answers questions directly from the ledger. It is not a chat layer sitting on top of reports.
Ember answers questions from your accounting data and can draft outputs like journal entries and custom reports.
AI does the routine work; you manage the exceptions. Exceptions and items flagged for review land in the Checklist, grouped by close step: uncategorized or low-confidence transactions, missing or duplicate items, schedule candidates, quality control flags, open comments, and more. With Digits Checklist, you review the close instead of preparing it.
Surfaces discrepancies and unmatched statement transactions with an audit trail and approval.
Describe a Quality Control check in plain English. Digits turns it into a deterministic check that runs the same way on every transaction, continuously. Built-in checks: missing fields, miscoding, duplicates, unusual activity, account validity, vendor changes, and more.
No quality control feature. AI surfaces variances; review runs through close-checklist workflows.
Digits automatically detects and drafts schedules directly in the ledger. You can also create a new one or import a schedule. After accountant approval, Digits automatically generates recurring entries for prepaids and fixed assets.
Prepaid and fixed-asset schedules are created by hand from each bill. Depreciation is a month-end checklist step; nothing is detected for you.
More than automation. Built for scale.
If you're comparing platforms to find the best AI accounting software, don't stop at task automation. Digits pairs the Agentic General Ledger™ with what real-world finance teams need: unlimited users, built-in comments, departments and locations, plus bill pay, invoicing, and documents in the same ledger.

Read and write your ledger from AI tools. The Digits API and Digits MCP read from and write to the Digits ledger from AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Perplexity. Send raw transactions and Digits AGL® books, categorizes, and enriches them into clean entries, all governed by your existing Digits permissions.
Read-only MCP. API supports read and write access.
AI Bill Pay and AI Invoicing included—digitized documents, auto-extracted vendor data, smart categorization, and streamlined approvals.
Not one product, and not clearly AI: invoicing requires Revenue Automation, while Core handles AR/AP subledgers.
One tool, no bolt-ons. Bill pay, invoicing, documents, and reconciliation run in the same system as your ledger.
Split across two products (Core Accounting + Revenue Automation), so what you get depends on which modules you buy.

Which Platform Is Right for You?
Digits Core
Is best for:
- Growing businesses that want clear, upfront pricing and predictable packaging
- Users who care about transparency in how automation is built, trained, and validated
- Businesses across any industry, from startups to established operators
Campfire
May be better for:

Frequently asked questions
Digits and Campfire are both AI-native platforms with their own general ledgers, but they are built for different buyers.
Digits is an accounting platform for small businesses, startups, and accounting firms. It automates bookkeeping, reconciliation, schedules, Quality Control, reporting, invoicing, and bill pay in one system, and gives firms one view across every client's books.
Campfire describes itself as an AI-native ERP for mid-market and enterprise finance teams. Its focus is multi-entity, multi-currency, revenue recognition, and close-management workflows inside a single company.
Both platforms use AI across the close, but they differ in what the AI is built on and how much work it completes on its own.
Digits runs on the Agentic General Ledger™ (AGL®), a proprietary model architecture built specifically for accounting and trained on 180 million transactions representing nearly $1 trillion in real financial activity. It categorizes transactions, reconciles bank activity, drafts schedules, runs Quality Control, and produces financial reports continuously, completing routine work and surfacing only the exceptions that need an accountant's judgment.
Campfire uses Accounting Intelligence and its Ember assistant to categorize transactions, support reconciliations, flag anomalies, draft journal entries, perform flux analysis, and help manage close workflows. Campfire's published materials describe what Ember does but not the models behind it.
