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.
Built around invoice/bill and close workflows; claims proprietary machine-learning models, but doesn’t publicly share how the AI is trained or independently benchmarked.
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.
Aura Assistant answers plain-English questions from the GL, and Aura Agents run in-workflow tasks.
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.
When a clear match isn’t found, it surfaces the most probable matches and recommended actions.
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 transaction-level quality control checks. Aura Agents run rules you write in plain English, but each close step is still reviewed and signed off by hand.
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.
Schedules generate from posted bills, invoices, and contracts. How candidates are detected isn’t documented.
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.

MCP mirrors the API; write access is not stated. API supports read and write access once enabled by Rillet.
AI Bill Pay and AI Invoicing included—digitized documents, auto-extracted vendor data, smart categorization, and streamlined approvals.
Invoicing is included, and payables are supported via AP integrations. Advanced automation and controls (task lists, approvals, etc.) vary by tier.

Which Platform Is Right for You?
Digits Core
Is best for:
- Growing businesses that want clear, upfront pricing
- Teams that care about transparency in how automation is built, trained, and validated
- Companies that want the routine close completed and verified continuously, so month-end is a review rather than a project
Rillet
May be better for:
- Companies that are comfortable with sales-led pricing based on scope and complexity
- Teams building a central system for finance + ops data with lots of connectors
- Organizations that prefer a workflow-driven month-end close (tasks, approvals, docs)
Frequently asked questions
Digits is an AI-native general ledger that completes the routine close continuously; Rillet is an AI-native ERP for mid-market finance teams, built around invoice, bill, and close workflows, where tasks, approvals, and sign-offs drive the month-end.
In Digits, the Agentic General Ledger™ (AGL®) categorizes transactions as they arrive, keeps every connected account reconciled to bank statements, drafts schedules in the ledger, and runs Quality Control checks against the live books — verifying its own work and routing only the exceptions to an accountant.
Rillet organizes the close as a workflow people complete. Digits completes the routine close on its own and surfaces the exceptions, so month-end is a review rather than a project.
Rillet claims proprietary machine-learning models and offers Aura AI for insights, but does not publish how its AI is trained or benchmarked, and its reconciliation is auto-matching rather than continuous statement-tied reconciliation.
Digits publishes both its architecture and its results. 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.
