Accountable vs Digits: side by side
Facts and list prices checked Nov 2026. Accountable is accountable.im.
Price for 1 company
Accountable: $0 on Free (100 transactions categorized automatically a month), or $149 a month on Pro.
Digits: $100 a month on Core, or $65 on Essentials. Pro at $250 is marked 'coming soon'. Each plan has a 30-day trial.
Price for 3 companies
Accountable: $198 a month on Pro: $149 covers 2 companies, and the third costs $49.
Digits: $100 a month on Core while each extra company stays under 250 transactions a year, and from $170 once both pass it, because each extra one then costs from $35.
How companies are billed
Accountable: One bill for the whole workspace. Pro includes 2 companies and charges $49 for each extra one. Holding costs $399 for 10 companies and $29 for each extra one. Users are unlimited, and your accountant's seat is always free.
Digits: One subscription covers every company since October 27, 2026: each extra one is free for its first 250 transactions a year, then from $35 a month. Users are unlimited. Combined statements come through its partner Reach Reporting.
AI agent access (MCP)
Accountable: Read and write on Pro, read-only on Free. Changes apply at once, are logged under the agent's name and can be undone. Entries of $5,000 or more wait for an owner, closed months stay locked, and an agent can preview any change first.
Digits: Read and write on every plan. Its MCP posts journal entries, recategorizes up to 100 transactions at once, and drafts invoices and bills. Changes in a locked period become proposals, and AI changes are logged under your own name, with no separate AI log.
Month-end close
Accountable: Every month is reconciled to the bank, reviewed, locked and reported. Mercury, Brex, Ramp and Stripe sync every 15 to 30 minutes, and new transactions post on the next sync.
Digits: A close checklist (Book, Reconcile, Report). Our own two companies on Digits waited weeks after month-end for a close.
Moving your books in
Accountable: Free for everyone. The agent moves your full history and ties every month-end to the cent, then sends you a tie-out report.
Digits: Imports from QuickBooks Online with a cutover date, plus guides for Xero and Puzzle and for running both side by side.
Support
Accountable: The AI accountant answers in seconds and names your CPA for judgment calls. Help in the app reaches our team. There are no sales calls.
Digits: Email and a support form for businesses. Account managers go to partner accounting firms. Digits stopped selling its own bookkeeping service in May 2025.
Export
Accountable: Export any time, on every plan, as PDF, Excel or CSV, or as a one-click financial package. Export is never behind a paywall.
Digits: PDF, Excel and CSV downloads, plus a financial package with the ledger, trial balance, statements and aging.
Free plan or trial
Accountable: Free plan for 1 company, with 100 transactions categorized automatically a month. Pro has a 14-day free trial.
Digits: A 30-day free trial on every plan. There is no free plan.
Done for you
No books to manage, and no waiting.
Every transaction is categorized the moment it lands, and each month closes the day it ends.
Switch to Accountable if
- You can see what your agent changed and take it back. Accountable logs each AI change under the agent's name and can undo it, and entries of $5,000 or more wait for an owner. Digits logs AI changes under your own name.
- You can start free. The Free plan covers one company with 100 transactions categorized a month, while Digits has a 30-day trial and no free plan.
- You want consolidated statements inside the product. The Holding plan, $399 a month for 10 companies, shows consolidated statements with intercompany eliminations; Digits sends you to its partner Reach Reporting for that.
- Your bookkeeping stays up to date every day, and each month is reconciled to the bank and locked. Our own two companies waited weeks for their Digits close.

Questions about switching from Digits
I pay Digits a legacy price. How much would I save?
Digits' service-era plans ran $350 to $550 or more per company a month. Today Digits Core is $100 a month, with each extra company free for 250 transactions a year and then from $35. On Accountable, 3 companies cost $198 a month on Pro, and 10 companies cost $399 on Holding.
Will moving change anything in Digits?
No. Digits' MCP can now write, but the move uses only its read tools, so it never creates, changes or deletes anything in Digits.
What should I check before I cancel Digits?
Read your Digits contract. Digits' terms let either side end the contract with 30 days' written notice, and fees for the rest of the term become due when it ends.
Can my accountant work in Accountable?
Yes. The accountant seat is free on every plan, and your accountant sees the same books, reports and audit log you do.
What does Digits accounting cost in 2026?
Digits' pricing page lists Essentials at $65 a month, Core at $100 and Pro at $250, marked coming soon, with a 30-day trial and no free plan. Each extra company is free for 250 transactions a year, then from $35 a month, so three companies on Core cost $100 to $170. The same three cost $198 on Accountable Pro. Prices read on digits.com on November 4, 2026.
Why search for a Digits accounting alternative rather than a Digits alternative?
Because the bare phrase brings up T-Mobile's DIGITS phone service. This page is about Digits the accounting software (digits.com); our own two companies ran on it before Accountable.
