Built for AI, not before AI
Digits Core
Docyt Accounting Suite
Digits is the ledger and accounting system of record.
The ledger and system of record, positioned as an ERP.
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.
HpAI combines general-purpose language models with accounting-specific AI, trained on accounting data and synthetic examples labeled by accountants. Docyt advertises 99% categorization and reconciliation accuracy for HpAI, with no published test sample or methodology behind the figures.
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.
Automatically matches bank-feed activity to accounting records and reconciles continuously against the feed; statement-tied reconciliation is not described.
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.
Ask Docyt AI is a chat assistant that answers questions from the ledger data. Public materials do not clearly define what it can do beyond Q&A.
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.
Closing Agent and Quality of Books Agent post what the AI is confident in and route the rest to your reviewer's exception list. Handing that exception review to a managed accounting team requires the Enterprise Suite.
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.
Runs preset variance checks, anomaly alerts, and continuous ledger monitoring, surfacing issues for review. The checks are built-in; defining your own in plain English isn't part of the documented workflow.
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 schedules are entered by hand: select an invoice, enter accrual dates, and the schedule is calculated. Automatic detection of potential schedules is not described.
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.

Which Platform Is Right for You?
Digits Core
Is best for:
- Companies that want AI bookkeeping, reconciliation, bill pay, and invoicing included in one $100/mo plan.
- Accountants who want automated schedules, Quality Control checks, and department and location tracking.
- Teams that want to discuss transactions and close tasks directly in the live books.
Docyt Accounting Suite
May be better for:
- Hotels, restaurants, franchises, and multi-location operators that want USALI reporting and nightly PMS and POS revenue posting.
- Operators who want a dedicated hospitality accountant for onboarding and support, with the option to upgrade to Enterprise for outcome-based bookkeeping.
- Businesses that expect to add bill pay, receivables, and business intelligence as separate suites on top of the Accounting Suite.
Frequently asked questions
Both use AI to automate bookkeeping, reconciliation, and review, and both are their own general ledger. The difference is how much runs in one place.
Digits keeps AI bookkeeping, continuous reconciliation, automated Quality Control, schedules, bill pay, invoicing, reporting, and collaboration together in a single system without requiring separate modules for core accounting workflows. The automation runs on Digits AGL® (Agentic General Ledger™), its accounting-specific model.
Docyt focuses on accounting automation for hospitality, multi-location, and multi-entity businesses. Its Accounting Suite includes AI bookkeeping, continuous reconciliation, close automation, payroll accounting, and multi-entity reporting. Bill pay, accounts receivable, and business intelligence are available as separately priced, per-property add-ons.
Both platforms use accounting-specific AI to automate bookkeeping, reconciliation, and exception handling. The key difference is how their AI operates and how its performance is measured.
Digits’ Agentic General Ledger™ works directly inside the ledger to categorize transactions, maintain reconciliations, generate schedules, and run Quality Control checks. In its October 2026 benchmark, Digits achieved 97.8% transaction-categorization accuracy, compared with 88.9% for the best general-purpose AI agent with access to ledger history and 79.5% for the best standalone LLM. The study tested 84 AI configurations against 2,000 real transactions, with results evaluated against accountant-reviewed classifications.
Docyt uses HpAI, an accounting-specific system combining language models and specialized AI trained on accounting datasets. It automates categorization, document matching, reconciliation, and exception handling. Docyt publishes accuracy claims but provides less detail about its testing methodology, making direct performance comparisons difficult.
Docyt offers both AI accounting software and managed accounting services, depending on the plan. Docyt’s Accounting Suite includes 16 AI agents that automate posting, reconciliation, and close workflows, leaving accounting teams to review exceptions. A dedicated hospitality accountant provides onboarding and support. Its Enterprise Suite adds a managed service in which Docyt’s accounting team reviews exceptions and delivers audit-ready books, with custom, outcome-based pricing.
Digits is AI-native accounting software, not a managed bookkeeping service. Its Agentic General Ledger™ automates routine accounting work, while accountants review exceptions and retain control of the books. Core plans start at $100 per business per month, and firms can use Digits to manage accounting across multiple clients. Businesses that want outsourced bookkeeping can work with an independent Digits Accounting Partner.
