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.
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.
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.
Auto-matching, not auto-reconciliation. Matches transactions, but doesn’t keep accounts continuously reconciled to statements end-to-end.
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.
AI copilot for insights and quick answers, primarily for analytics and decision support—not a ledger-wide Q&A assistant embedded in every workflow.
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.
Flags anomalies/unmatched items with audit trails, but doesn’t clearly publish standardized exception labels or post-match review requirements.
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. Workflow approvals and user review.
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.
AI flags prepaid and fixed-asset candidates from bills and transactions, then builds the schedule and posts monthly entries. Revenue recognition schedules are set up from contracts. Depth varies by plan tier.
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.
Features & Limits beyond AI
Digits Core
DualEntry
Unlimited users included—firms, clients, CFOs, operators, auditors, all at no extra cost.
Unlimited users are listed on every plan.
Built‑in comments and @mentions on transactions, bills, categories, reconciliations and more. Checklist gathers every open question and action item in one place, by workflow step.
Collaboration is mostly workflow-based—close checklists, task visibility, review notes, and sign-offs/tie-outs—rather than a shared dashboard or an action-items inbox.
Visualize your business’s financial health. Real-time P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and AR/AP Aging with drill-through to transactions and export. Drag-and-drop KPIs and statements as tiles.
Built-in reporting with standard financial statements; a drag-and-drop KPI dashboard is not documented publicly.
Departments and Locations are included with dimensional dashboards and statement slicing. (Projects coming soon.)
Segmentation uses custom classifications and custom fields (tags), rather than named dimensions like Departments/Locations.
12,000+ banks & cards via Plaid, plus Gusto, Ramp, BILL, Stripe, Mercury, and Reach Reporting; bank 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.
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 and write MCP and API.
AI Bill Pay and AI Invoicing included—digitized documents, auto-extracted vendor data, 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.
One tool, no bolt-ons. Bill pay, invoicing, documents, and reconciliation run in the same system as your ledger.
ERP packaging model: core modules are included up front, but key capabilities expand through tier upgrades and add-ons.

Which Platform Is Right for You?
Digits Core
Is best for:
- Companies that want the routine close completed and verified inside the ledger, with only the exceptions left to review
- Operators who want quality control checks written in plain English and run on every transaction, not workflow approvals and manual review
- Teams that want prepaid and fixed-asset schedules detected, drafted, and posted inside the same ledger the books live in, with no tier upgrade to unlock them
DualEntry
May be better for:
- Buyers who want an analytics-style AI copilot for quick answers rather than an assistant embedded across every workflow
- Buyers who can accept AI positioning without published training data or benchmark methodology
- Companies willing to navigate tier and add-on packaging where capabilities, including AI, aren't itemized upfront
Frequently asked questions
Digits is an AI-native accounting platform for businesses and the accounting firms that serve them. DualEntry is an AI-native ERP for mid-market and growth-stage companies with multi-entity, multi-currency, and revenue recognition needs. Both are general ledgers, but Digits is built to run a business's books continuously, completing the routine work and bringing an accountant in for the exceptions, while DualEntry is built to be the finance system a mid-market company implements around its own team and controls.
DualEntry’s AI auto-matches bank activity, flags anomalies, and offers a copilot for quick answers, but it does not publish how its AI is trained or benchmarked.
Digits’ AI is the ledger itself. The Agentic General Ledger™ (AGL®) is built from proprietary accounting models.
