AttestWork vs CAGos

AttestWork is a web workspace for audit, review, compilation, preparation, agreed-upon procedures, and examination engagements. It imports trial balances and general ledgers, compares account balances, and surfaces exceptions. Document processing extracts text and structured fields from scanned PDFs, images, and ledger exports. Teams can search indexed engagement files, including OCR-processed PDFs, and an assistant can draft procedure documentation and workpaper tables using engagement context and files. Firms can connect AI clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini Spark, or another MCP client through an OAuth-secured connection. The workspace tracks prepared-by-client requests and can link client responses to the relevant request and procedure. Preparers and reviewers must sign off, and editing resets the affected sign-off tier. WorkpaperOS says it does not train its own models on customer work; files are kept in private buckets with short-lived signed links. A five-day trial costs nothing, with no card required. Professional is $57.50 a month for three months, then 115 USD per month; Premium is $92.50 a month for three months, then 185 USD per month.

CAGos is a cloud-native, multi-tenant practice-management platform for Indian Chartered Accountant firms. Its modules bring client CRM, HRMS, GST-compliant billing, an encrypted document vault, workflow and task management, compliance deadlines, and payments into one service. Firms can import more than 1,000 clients from CSV or Excel and reuse GST and PAN details across workflows. Users can configure client workflows, reminders, staff roles, and access controls without code. The platform tracks GST, TDS, ITR, and ROC deadlines, generates GST-compliant invoices, and exports client lists, invoice ledgers, and compliance summaries. Razorpay integration supports UPI, cards, net banking, recurring NACH mandates, and hosted payment links. CAGos says data is held in Indian data-center regions and user actions are captured in immutable audit logs. The 14-day trial includes all features and modules without a credit card.
