Compare ยท BILL

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.

Good questions

BILL vs AccountsReceivable.ai, answered

It depends which half of BILL you mean. For accounts payable, BILL is strong and this is not a replacement. For receivables, yes: if your problem is invoices going unpaid rather than invoices going out, an agent that chases across email, SMS and live AI calls, applies the cash and forecasts pay dates addresses the part BILL leaves to you.
BILL publishes per-user pricing at $49, $65 and $89 per user per month for Essentials, Team and Corporate, with Enterprise custom, plus per-transaction fees like $0.59 per ACH and $1.99 per check. AccountsReceivable.ai is a flat monthly fee with no per-seat cost and no percentage of collections. Pricing changes, so check both current pages before committing.
Yes, and many teams do. Keep BILL for AP and payment rails, and let the agent work the receivables ledger. Both connect to the same accounting system, so your books stay the single source of truth and the two do not fight over the ledger.
