Which one fits your firm
Choose Numeric if

Think twice about Numeric if
- Solo bookkeepers closing a handful of small files. The workflow assumes a team with review steps.
- Firms that want everything published and self-serve. Growth and Enterprise tiers are sales-quoted.

Think twice about XBert if

- Firms wanting a single flat fee. XBert charges a per-user fee plus a per-client data plan.
- Solo users wanting a basic bookkeeping tool. XBert is a monitoring and alerts layer on top.
