Overview
Don’t settle for incomplete platforms.
A true automation-based bookkeeping platform will help you operate your end-to-end bookkeeping programs. While there are many bookkeeping solutions available today that can help streamline bookkeeping tasks, not all solutions are built the same. This page will help you understand the differences between Botkeeper and Auditoria so you can decide which is the right bookkeeping solution for your business or firm.
Here’s an overview of Botkeeper and Auditoria.
BOTKEEPER
Botkeeper offers firms the ability to choose the right approach for each of their clients: tech-only gives firms total control over the Botkeeper platform (automated transaction categorization, exception surfacing, teak and project management, and much more), while tech plus add-on services provides your firm with dedicated, professional accountants who can both run your Botkeeper platform and offer much more according to the service plan chosen. In short, Botkeeper delivers a full-suite bookkeeping and pre-accounting solution to accounting firms and their clients.
The powerful combination of our proprietary AI and machine learning with skilled accountants makes for a complete, end-to-end solution.
Auditoria
Auditoria.AI is a cloud-based platform that leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate and optimize various finance and accounting processes. Designed to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and productivity within finance departments, Auditoria offers several key features, including automated AP/AR, SmartBots to handle some routine tasks, and Natural Language Processing.
The goal is to transform business' traditional finance operations into more automated, intelligent workflows, ultimately contributing to a more autonomous finance back office.
Bookkeeping Services
Automating the time-consuming and laborious aspects of bookkeeping is where Botkeeper shines.
Auditoria automates vendor interactions, invoice processing, and accruals; streamlines collections, payment processing, and customer inquiries; offers AI-powered assistants that handle routine tasks, such as data entry and communication; and employs Natural Language Processing (NLP), which enhances understanding and processing of financial data, facilitating more intuitive interactions and efficient data handling.
While all of this is useful in the process of getting the books done, Auditoria isn't designed for accounting firms or to be a complete bookkeeping solution—so a great deal of work, such as categorizing transactions from the GL, reconciliation, exceptions surfacing and more gets left on the table.
If your clients' bookkeeping needs exceed even what automation can handle, Botkeeper goes a step farther with our four add-on services packages.
Technology & Features
Finding the right automated accounting solution for all your bookkeeping needs can become the foundation of your practice and the differentiator you need to grow. As a result, it’s important to seek out technology and features that fit your firm, staff, AND client base. This is why we’ve made Botkeeper with our accounting partner firms in mind — we can grow and adapt our platform to your organization’s wants and needs, offering unsurpassed value for your clients.
Auditoria is AR/AP-focused, working with the business' GL to accelerate certain finance and accounting functions. Auditoria uses AI and machine learning to assist in cash flow management activities, but is not designed for accounting firms and is not intended as an end-to-end bookkeeping solution.
Botkeeper leverages proprietary machine learning technology to handle labor-intensive bookkeeping tasks by processing and categorizing transactions at an incredibly high accuracy level. This goes FAR beyond static rules—our global models are continuously refining, while your client's specific model improves with each transaction successfully coded or updated. This is smart tech that adapts.
As an end-to-end bookkeeping solution, Botkeeper integrates with QBO and Xero, auto-categorizing and matching transactions, surfacing exceptions, automatically reconciling bank and credit card accounts and recording of principal/interest loan splits. It also offers centralized communication, task and project management, secure password management, and a close tracker that helps you see at a glance how closing is proceeding.
Interacting with your team and even your clients is made simple with Activity Hub, a central space for all comments made anywhere across the platform, while Client & User Management helps you control access and permissions, customize your portal with your logo and favicon, and more. Botkeeper's Documents feature incorporates a secure portal for document storage, exchange, and review—it even includes version tracking and a customizable folder structure. And all of it is super-secure, with 256-bit encryption that's SOC 2 Type 2 accredited.

Training and Support
When your firm streamlines its bookkeeping with Botkeeper, your support and training needs will be unique.
To accommodate all needs cases, Botkeeper offers different service tiers. While everyone gets in-app step-by-step guides, access to our comprehensive Knowledge Base, live chat, monthly group training webinars and access to Botkeeper University (our vibrant user community), we also offer additional options:
Our Enhanced Onboarding & Support tier adds our four-week Essentials training course, a quarterly strategy consultation, and an assigned client success associate. This plan is included when adding 11-50 entities, but it available for a one-time fee if you are adding fewer than 11.
Choose Premium Onboarding & Support to add your own outreach concierge and everything in the Enhanced plan. This plan is included when adding 51 or more entities, but it available for a one-time fee if you are adding fewer than 51.
Auditoria's SmartFlow Skills offers you email and a help desk, as well as a knowledge base and phone support.
Security
As a firm, you want to ensure that your clients' personal and financial information is held in the strictest confidence. Before choosing a solution, ask about the level of security employed and whether the vendor's security standards are in line with those of your industry.
Botkeeper’s automated bookkeeping solution takes security seriously, with industry-standard SOC 2 Type 2 accreditation, two-factor authentication, and 256-bit encryption for data at rest and data in transit.
SOC 2 Type 2 accreditation means:
-
Botkeeper has the required data security controls in place to protect customer data against unauthorized access.
-
Botkeeper can detect anomalies and security incidents across its entire ecosystem.
-
In addition to preventing risk situations, Botkeeper can quickly repair damage and restore functionality in the event of infrastructure or system failures.
-
Botkeeper’s security controls are both correctly designed AND function as intended.
Botkeeper’s SOC 2 Type 2 accreditation is granted by an industry best, reputable independent third party, and Botkeeper renews the report annually with continuous testings. That means any information shared with Botkeeper is protected to the highest current standards, and you can rest easy knowing your data is in good hands.
Botkeeper does not collect any personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us, and it does not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties without your consent. Your personal information is secured from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, using the following methods for this purpose: SSL Protocol; Two Factor Authentication; and Database Encryption.
Botkeeper is also a member of the Financial Data Exchange (FDX), a nonprofit dedicated to unifying the financial industry around a common, interoperable, royalty-free standard for secure and convenient consumer and business access to their financial data.
Auditoria
Auditoria employs SOC 2 Type II compliance, data encryption, and Zero Trust Security to safeguard financial data. It offers universal authentication with SAML and OpenID Connect, granular access control, and AI-driven fraud detection to prevent unauthorized access and financial risks. The platform also supports data isolation, Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) encryption, and continuous monitoring to detect vulnerabilities. Auditoria enhances security through regular penetration testing, backup and recovery mechanisms, and real-time policy updates.
MEASURE ROI
Measure the performance of your bookkeeping when you integrate an automated solution, and see what your firm is able to achieve.
Auditoria offers finance teams the recovery of lost hours in repetitive manual accounting tasks, follow-ups, error checking, and data entry.
Botkeeper goes a bit farther. Our solution allows you to automate bookkeeping and pre-accounting procedures so you can dedicate more time and resources to your client base. Built-in collaboration via task and project management as well as centralized communication cuts down on emails, texts, or prolonged water cooler conversations. And while our investigations have shown time savings for firms at or in excess of 50% for bookkeeping activities, we've even included a module called Transaction Insights that allows you to see the savings for yourself.
Cost of Ownership
The cost of ownership is a way for you to assess the long-term value of an automated accounting solution to your firm. While the cost of the package is certainly a key component to keep in mind, it's not the only cost that you should take into account.
Auditoria offers very little information on their pricing. Their pricing is recurring and submission billing-based and the price is based on the number of users. They do offer a free trial as well.
Botkeeper’s pricing for our Infinite (tech-only) package is $69/entity/month, and that includes everything the platform can do. Looking for even more? Add services to bring professional accountants into the fold for those clients with even more complex needs.
SCALABILITY
As the bookkeeping decision-maker, you probably think about your business every day (probably multiple times a day). Finding a bookkeeping solution that works for you today is as important as finding a solution that continues to work for you in the future. Will the solution you pick today be able to grow as you and your clients grow?
Auditoria is focused on working with modern Finance teams to accelerate finance transformation by improving cash flow performance.
