In their own words
BILL Accounts Payable
BILL Accounts Payable automates invoice capture, approval routing, payment processing, and accounting synchronization for accounts payable teams. AI invoice capture and two-way or three-way matching can connect invoices with purchase orders and receipts. Payments can be made by ACH, credit card, check, or international wire transfer, and the product supports paying up to 2,000 bills at a time. Multi-Entity centralizes bill review, approvals, and payments across entities and locations. Accounting connections include automatic two-way sync with QuickBooks products, Xero, Oracle NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Microsoft Dynamics; CSV import/export and an API platform support custom integrations. AP and AR are paid subscriptions priced per user, starting at $49 a month, and a free trial is listed. The separate Spend & Expense free plan does not cover AP or AR. Some checks, ACH, instant transfers, and international payments incur fees regardless of plan. Mobile apps support Android 7.0 or later and iOS 16 or later, with data and actions synchronized with the desktop application.
Nanonets Accounts Payable Automation
Nanonets Accounts Payable Automation uses AI agents to handle accounts payable from invoice intake through payment runs, guided by supplier terms, tolerance tables, coding rules, and approval matrices. It can ingest vendor emails, PDFs, scanned paper, EDI feeds, and supplier portal documents without templates. The system supports two-way and three-way matching, business-rule-based GL coding, duplicate detection, and fraud checks. When a match has low confidence or a policy exception occurs, a reviewer receives the document, failed rule, and context; processing waits for a decision. After checks pass, validated data is posted to the ERP with an audit trail. Connectors are listed for SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, NetSuite, Dynamics 365, QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage, alongside webhooks and REST support. Pricing is based on workflow block runs; the listed rates are $0.02 per simple operation run, $0.10 per standard AI run, and $0.30 per complex AI run. Each account starts with $50 in free credits, with no card required. Paid Starter usage is $100 a month for 100 credits. The product is available via API and web.
