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.
AI agents you can run or build using natural-language prompts. No public benchmarks or training details; the AI you get depends on which modules you buy.
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.
Intercompany balancing/validation is marketed as AI-driven reconciliation, but the public details read more like rules and validation than AI doing bank-style statement 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.
Pre-built and custom AI agents you can run or build with prompts. Positioned as workflow automation inside the ERP, not a single ledger Q&A assistant.
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.
AI agents surface anomalies and generate flux/variance explanations, but public pages don’t spell out standardized exception flags.
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. ERP validation checks; teams review and approve AI output.
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.
Depreciation and ASC 606 schedules post monthly once configured. Assets are entered by hand; no prepaid schedules and no detection.
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:
- Fast setup in minutes—not weeks—plus AI that keeps books current for a lighter, faster close
- Teams that want clear, predictable pricing ($100/month) vs. sales-scoped, module-based contracts
- Finance leaders who want published AI benchmarks and statement-tied bank reconciliation instead of agents they have to build and configure
Lensing
May be better for:
- Teams comfortable with limited public detail on bank-statement reconciliation specifics and AI benchmarking
- Teams willing to pay for AI mostly focused on reporting/flux insights—and accept heavy ERP rollout overhead and governance
- Orgs okay with sales-led scoping where features vary by module and contract (not posted pricing)
Frequently asked questions
Digits is an agentic, AI-native, ledger-native accounting platform built to automate accounting work from inside the general ledger. Unlike Lensing, a modular AI-first ERP where AI agents operate across configured finance modules, Digits starts with the ledger itself.
Digits’ Agentic General Ledger™ (AGL®) brings the accounting data, AI, and automation together in one system. It categorizes transactions, continuously reconciles connected accounts, drafts schedules, and runs Quality Control as activity happens. Routine work advances automatically, while exceptions that require professional judgment are surfaced to the accountant.
That ledger-native foundation is what sets Digits apart. Instead of adding AI agents across separate ERP modules, Digits was built from the ledger outward, so categorization, reconciliation, schedules, Quality Control, reporting, and review work together as one continuous accounting system.
Lensing’s AI is a set of pre-built and custom agents you run with prompts inside the ERP. The AI you get depends on which modules you buy, and Lensing publishes no benchmarks or training details.
Digits’ AI is built into the ledger and benchmarked publicly. In its 2026 benchmark, Digits AGL® achieved 97.8% transaction-categorization accuracy, scored against ground truth established by U.S.-based GAAP accountants, outperforming every frontier AI model tested.
Yes. Everest Systems announced its new name, Lensing, on August 4, 2026, after emerging from stealth. The company describes the change as a rename only: the product, team, and customers are the same. This comparison uses the current name, so if you are evaluating Everest, you are evaluating Lensing.
