A Bill.com alternative built for collections, not just billing
BILL, formerly Bill.com, is one of the best known names in US finance software, and most of that reputation is earned on the payables side. Its AP product is excellent: approvals, vendor payments and a huge vendor network. BILL also ships an AR product that creates invoices, sends them, and takes card and ACH payments, and it syncs with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct and Dynamics on the higher tiers.
What teams tend to notice, once the invoices are out, is that getting paid is a different job from getting billed. BILL will send the invoice and process the payment when the customer decides to pay. It will not work the customer who goes quiet at 45 days. AccountsReceivable.ai is built for exactly that gap: it chases every overdue invoice across email, SMS and live AI phone calls, applies the incoming cash to the right invoices, reconciles, and predicts a pay date per customer. Many teams run both, keeping BILL for AP and the agent for collections.

Why teams pick AccountsReceivable.ai
One agent that runs the whole receivables job
Billing is not collecting
BILL gets a correct invoice in front of the customer and takes the payment cleanly. The work that decides your DSO happens after that, when an invoice ages past 30 and nobody follows up. That is the job the agent owns.
Priced per company, not per seat
BILL AR is billed per user per month, published at $49 for Essentials, $65 for Team and $89 for Corporate, with payment fees such as $0.59 per ACH and $1.99 per check on top. The agent is a flat monthly fee that does not grow as you add finance staff. Verify current pricing with BILL before you decide.
Runs alongside, not instead
Plenty of teams keep BILL for accounts payable and the vendor network and add the agent for receivables. Both sit on top of the same accounting system, so this is an addition rather than a migration.
