Booke AI and Docyt are compared with ZeraBooks in more depth on Booke AI alternative and Docyt alternative. For QuickBooks Online, see QuickBooks alternative.
The price only compares fairly once you know what else you have to pay for. ZeraBooks is its own general ledger. So is Docyt, and Digits keeps an automated ledger of its own. Booke AI works inside QuickBooks Online or Xero and says it is not a new ledger, so its $129 comes on top of that plan. Dext, Hubdoc, AutoEntry and Nanonets capture documents and hand the data to a ledger or a spreadsheet; none of them keeps the books. Docyt also syncs to QuickBooks Online for customers who want to keep it for statutory reporting.
A fictional bookkeeping practice runs 7 client companies on ZeraBooks. Three are included, so 4 are extra at $29 a month or $290 a year each.
| Billing | Subscription | 4 extra clients | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $149 | 4 × $29 = $116 | $265 a month |
| Annual | $948 | 4 × $290 = $1,160 | $2,108 a year |
The check: 149 + 116 = 265, and 948 + 1,160 = 2,108. Booke AI and Docyt don't publish firm prices, so there is no list figure to set beside this. Firms can also ask for a free custom build; see ZeraBooks for accountants. Prefer to hand the work over? ZeraBooks bookkeeping services start at $150 a month (USD), quoted after a free call.

| Property management or point-of-sale integrations | No. Hotel and restaurant books are kept from statements, bills and invoices. |
| Bill pay | No. Bills are recorded and matched to the bank payment, not paid from ZeraBooks. |
