AI isn't a feature; it's the foundation. Digits is AI-native from day one, powered by the Agentic General Ledger™. Built for machine learning and trained on 170M+ real transactions, Digits auto-books, reconciles, and reviews continuously, then surfaces only the exceptions that need a human.
Markets “AI Accounting Intelligence.” Public pages don’t share training/benchmark methodology, and the base plan doesn’t clearly itemize which AI features are included.
Continuous AI Reconciliation: 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.
Auto-matching, not auto-reconciliation. Matches transactions, but doesn’t keep accounts continuously reconciled to statements end-to-end.
Ask Digits—purpose-built for accounting. One ledger-native assistant built into everything. It understands your real financial data and answers questions directly—not a chat layer sitting on top of reports.
AI copilot for insights and quick answers (“TL;DR”), positioned mainly for analytics and decision support—not a ledger-wide Q&A assistant embedded across every workflow.
Clear exception flags (Missing, Date mismatch, Duplicate, Overmatched) plus an audit trail so you can see exactly what changed and why.
Flags anomalies/unmatched items with audit trails, but doesn’t clearly publish standardized exception labels or post-match review requirements.
As soon as statements arrive (uploaded or auto‑fetched), the reconciliation draft is automatically generated; you finalize in a few clicks.
Workflow-driven—close checklists, review notes, sign-offs/tie-outs, and period locking—plus “tracked” reconciliation, rather than a statement-triggered, auto-drafted close.
AI does the routine work, you supervise the exceptions. Most activity is auto-booked; anything uncertain is surfaced for targeted review—so teams move from "preparing" the close to approving it.
Controls are built into the close workflow—roles/permissions, approvals, sign-offs/tie-outs, balance-change alerts, period locking, and audit trails—with AI positioned as assistive within those guardrails.
Minimal ongoing effort: 24/7 AI bookkeeping and AI bank recs keep the ledger current. Drop in a statement. Digits takes it from there.
Cuts manual effort, but not the process—teams still confirm suggested matches, clear exceptions, and complete close workflows.
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' Agentic General Ledger™ is built for real-world finance teams—

Unlimited users included —team, advisors, and auditors at no extra cost. Plans are billed on a per-business (or per-client) basis, not per seat.
3 full-access users + 5 view/approve users listed for the base plan.
Built‑in comments across transactions, reports, categories, shared dashboards, and an Inbox to manage action items in one place.
Collaboration is mostly workflow-based—close checklists, task visibility, review notes, and sign-offs/tie-outs—rather than shared dashboards, firm/client portals, or an action-items inbox.
Departments + Locations are included out of the box, with dimensional dashboards and statement slicing. (Projects coming soon.)
Segmentation uses custom classifications and custom fields (tags), rather than named dimensions like Departments/Locations.
Real-time KPI dashboards (multi-view, drag-and-drop); drill-through; scheduled, branded reports; export to PDF/CSV.
Includes built-in reporting with custom reports and scheduled report delivery in the base plan.
12,000+ banks & cards via Plaid. Statements auto-fetched to Documents for many institutions; PDF-to-CSV where supported.
Includes live bank feeds; the bank data provider isn’t specified publicly.
All-in-one AI accounting with Connect API—core GL, bill pay, and invoicing built in, so you rely on fewer third-party add-ons, while still integrating with partners like Gusto, Ramp, BILL, Stripe, Mercury, and 12k+ banks.
ERP packaging model: core modules are included up front, but key capabilities expand through tier upgrades and add-ons.
Built-in AI Bill Pay and AI Invoicing automates document capture, vendor data extraction, smart categorization, and streamlined approvals.
AP and AR are included in the base plan; subscription billing and revenue recognition are listed in higher tiers/add-ons.

May be better for:
- Firms that prefer a checklist-driven close—tasks, sign-offs, and review notes every period
- Orgs relying on auto-matching plus exception queues, not continuous statement-tied reconciliation end-to-end
- Practices that can operate within seat caps and upgrade when they need more full-access users
- Buyers fine with “AI” positioning without published training data or benchmark methodology
- Teams willing to navigate tier/add-on packaging where capabilities (including AI) aren’t itemized upfront
