DebtBook vs Ledgerage

DebtBook provides cloud-based software for finance teams managing debt, cash, leases, and subscriptions. It is built for government and nonprofit finance teams, including public finance teams in higher education and healthcare. Its Treasury Management System brings debt, cash, and investments together. Debt Management centralizes debt data for accounting, year-end reporting, payment schedules, continuing disclosure, refunding tracking, and new issue structuring. Cash Management supports forecasting, fraud detection, cash positioning, transaction categorization, and forecast-to-actual variance analysis. Lease and Subscription Management handles tracking, accounting, and reporting for GASB 87, GASB 96, and ASC 842 arrangements. Other listed capabilities include contract management and investment management, with features such as contract processing and scenario-based portfolio analysis. ERP integration is an add-on for Debt Accounting; Cash Management supports direct API and SFTP bank integrations. The Trust Center lists SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 1 and 2, and CSA STAR Level One certifications. Pricing depends on organization size and needs, requires a custom quote, and no free trial is offered. Plans include ongoing support from DebtBook experts, and the maker says implementation aims to get teams operational in 90 days or less.

Ledgerage calculates lease present value, right-of-use assets, lease liabilities, amortization schedules, journal entries and disclosures. Its computations cover ASC 842, IFRS 16 and GASB 87. The web calculator is available without an account and is described as free forever, not as a trial. The Free plan includes unlimited single-lease calculations, two saved leases, 25 API computations per month, 10 API requests per minute and MCP access. Its REST API accepts JSON requests and can return calculations, schedules, journal entries or classifications with citations to the applicable standard. The MCP server offers four tools and names Claude Desktop and Claude Code as compatible clients. Pro costs $39 a month, billed month-to-month with no contract. It includes an unlimited lease portfolio, up to 1,000 saved leases, 5,000 API computations per month, 120 API requests per minute, Excel, CSV and PDF exports, lease modifications and remeasurements, and a hosted MCP server. Ledgerage describes its engine as deterministic, with standard citations and schedules that reconcile to zero at term end. It says results depend on user-provided inputs and judgments and are not accounting or legal advice.
