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.
Dedicated bookkeeper + AI: Uplinq includes a bookkeeper on every plan, but doesn’t clearly publish benchmarks or training details for its AI.
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.
Uses AI to match transactions, but a dedicated bookkeeper still reviews and fixes what doesn’t match.
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.
An AI assistant isn’t clearly documented on Uplinq’s public pages.
Clear exception flags (Missing, Date mismatch, Duplicate, Overmatched) plus an audit trail so you can see exactly what changed and why.
Discrepancies are routed to a bookkeeper for cleanup; you step in only when they need clarification.
As soon as statements arrive (uploaded or auto‑fetched), the reconciliation draft is automatically generated; you finalize in a few clicks.
Monthly financial close isn’t included on Starter; it starts on the Scale plan ($700/mo & up).
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 lean on AI and human oversight: automation categorizes and flags issues, with a dedicated bookkeeper responsible for keeping the books clean/complete.
Minimal ongoing effort: 24/7 AI bookkeeping and AI bank recs keep the ledger current. Drop in a statement. Digits takes it from there.
More hands-off because it’s service-backed: you connect accounts and share docs as needed, and Uplinq’s automation + bookkeeper handle the day-to-day.
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—
