Which one fits your firm
Choose Chaser if
- Firms that lose time chasing late-paying clients across email and spreadsheets.
- Practices on QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, NetSuite, SAP, or Microsoft Dynamics that want pre-built AR automation.
- UK and international firms that need GBP-priced AR with USD, AUD, EUR, or NZD conversions.
Think twice about Chaser if
- Solo practitioners with very few overdue invoices. Manual reminders are cheaper at low volume.
- Firms that want a published partner referral fee before signing up. Chaser does not list public commissions.
- Practices whose accounting software's built-in payment reminders already handle their volume.
Choose Ping Assistant if
- Advisory or CAS firms running five or more client meetings a week on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams.
- US firms standardized on Dialpad, RingCentral, or OpenPhone wanting phone calls transcribed alongside meetings.
- Partners who want client health scores, churn alerts, and cross-sell prompts from the client record (Scaling tier).
Think twice about Ping Assistant if
- Firms on Canopy, TaxDome, or Jetpack Workflow as the primary practice-management system. No integrations yet.
- Compliance-only firms with low meeting load. A generic notetaker like Otter or Fireflies is cheaper.
- Budget buyers under $25 per user per month. Ping starts at $28 per user on annual billing.
What each one does
About Chaser
Chaser sends payment reminders by email, SMS, and phone call, and scores each debtor by likelihood of paying late so your team knows where to focus. Accounting firms can also offer it to clients as a managed service through the Chaser partner program.
Best for firms that lose hours chasing late payers across QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, or NetSuite invoices.
About Ping Assistant
Ping is an AI assistant built for accounting and advisory firms. It takes accounting-specific meeting notes, transcribes calls via Dialpad and RingCentral, drafts emails in your voice from earlier client context, and pushes notes and actions into Karbon, Financial Cents, Double, or Anchor. Higher tiers flag cross-sell and out-of-scope work clients already want, and score client health.
Best for advisory firms running regular client meetings into Karbon, Financial Cents, Double, or Anchor.
