Which one fits your firm

Choose Digits if

US founders and early-stage businesses on cash basis or simple accrual that want hands-off bookkeeping.
Firms that want firm-specific AI models and free books for their own practice, on per-client pricing that scales from solo practices upward.
US clients standardized on Stripe, Ramp, Mercury, BILL, and Gusto that want one ledger absorbing those feeds.

Think twice about Digits if

Firms with UK, AU, CA, or EU clients. Digits is US-only at every layer.
Mid-market clients with inventory are a poor fit. Digits has no inventory module.
Firms wanting an ongoing two-way QuickBooks sync. Digits replaces QuickBooks rather than syncing with it.

Choose Switchbooks if

US accounting firms with many small, cash-basis clients and simple books.
Firms moving clients off QuickBooks Online to cut per-client software cost.
Owners of several US companies who want combined financial reports.

Think twice about Switchbooks if

Firms with clients outside the US or needing foreign currency.
Clients requiring payroll, invoicing, or bill pay inside the ledger.
Groups needing formal consolidation with intercompany eliminations.
