Their Pitch
Meet Bill. Your AI-powered financial operations platform.
Our Take
It's accounts payable and receivable automation that connects to QuickBooks. Takes the manual data entry out of paying bills and chasing invoices.
Deep Dive & Reality Check
Used For
- +**Your bookkeeper spends 10 hours/week entering the same bill data twice** → AI extracts everything from PDFs, syncs to QuickBooks automatically, cuts reconciliation to 2 hours
- +**Bills sit on managers' desks for weeks waiting for approval** → Set up approval workflows so $1K+ bills route to the right people automatically via mobile app
- +**Vendors ignore your paper invoices and you wait 45 days to get paid** → Automated email reminders and multiple payment options (ACH, card, wire) speed up collections
- +Bulk pay hundreds of bills from one dashboard - schedule everything for optimal cash flow timing
- +AI duplicate detection catches when the same invoice gets entered twice (saves you from paying vendors double)
Best For
- >You're drowning in 100+ bills per month and your bookkeeper is burning out
- >Vendors keep calling about late payments because bills sit in approval limbo
- >You're tired of reconciling QuickBooks every week because someone fat-fingered an invoice
Not For
- -Solo operators or teams under 10 people — you're paying $45/month minimum for overkill when QuickBooks alone works fine
- -Companies with simple bill workflows — if you don't need multi-level approvals, you're paying for complexity you won't use
- -Anyone hoping to avoid per-user costs — every person who needs to approve bills adds another $45-79/month to your bill
Pairs With
- *QuickBooks Online (where all your financial data lives and syncs automatically so you stop double-entering everything)
- *Xero (alternative accounting software that also syncs, popular with international businesses)
- *Divvy Card (Bill.com's own corporate card that auto-matches receipts to expenses)
- *NetSuite (for larger companies that need multi-entity support and custom field mapping)
- *Slack (where finance teams get notifications about bills needing approval)
- *DocuSign (for contracts that create the invoices you'll pay through Bill.com)
- *Lyft (integration auto-matches ride receipts so you stop manually uploading expense reports)
The Catch
- !Credit card payment fees hit 2.9% and add up fast if your vendors prefer cards over ACH transfers
- !Approval workflows can trap bills in limbo if someone goes on vacation — the Essentials plan doesn't auto-escalate to backup approvers
- !The mobile app struggles with bulk operations, so you'll still need desktop access for paying 50+ bills at once
Bottom Line
Eliminates the soul-crushing double data entry between your bills and QuickBooks, but you'll pay $45+ per user even if half your team never touches it.
