IRIS Star Practice Management vs Spacebase

IRIS Star Practice Management is a modular practice-management system for large, multi-office accounting firms. It brings clients, staff, jobs, work in progress and accounts receivable into view, with customizable forms, fields and reports. Teams can record time and client or non-client expenses, route them for approval and reimbursement, allocate work in progress for billing, set fee targets and issue recurring invoices across entities and currencies. Scheduling can take staff availability, skills, rank, location and experience into account, and firms can create staff and job budgets. Reporting includes web-based business intelligence and standard reports through Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services; an optional Dashboard BI module is available. Named integrations include iChannel by IRIS, Beeye, Power BI, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Apxium Collect. Deployment options include on-premise, cloud and managed cloud. The managed instance includes updates and backups. IRIS describes an open SQL database, API connections and financial-ledger links. Pricing is on request. The web app is optimized for a large desktop browser window and is not recommended for mobile devices.

Spacebase provides modular lease accounting and lease administration software for finance and real estate teams. Its accounting workflows cover ASC 842, GASB 87, and IFRS 16, including journal entries, modifications, amortization schedules, and disclosures. Lease administration centralizes portfolios, documents, permissions, and obligations, with alerts for renewals, expirations, and custom milestones. Teams can customize dashboards, reports, and tracking fields. Spacebase AI extracts lease dates, rent and financial data, options, and clauses from documents, including low-quality scans, and cites extracted fields to lease pages. Its AI agent answers plain-English questions about lease, accounting, and document data, can surface obligations, and can generate reports or exports. Named integrations include NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, Coupa, Sage Intacct, and QuickBooks; an open API is also described. Spacebase says it is cloud-based and mobile-optimized, with Android, iOS, web, and API access. Pricing is tailored to portfolio size and feature needs, and a demo is required for a quote.
