The left column is ours to fill and ours to be held to in a trial. The right column belongs to Ignition, and it stays ruled and empty against every row below, because the only thing we could put in it is a guess.
Get the engagement signed and the scope agreed up front, so the firm is not renegotiating scope six months later.
That is the job as we read it. A firm shortlisting Ignition is shopping for it, and so is a firm shortlisting Accute.
Ignition
How they read the same job is theirs to publish.
Accute holds the engagement terms and takes them to signature: a proposal record carries the letter body, the terms and the priced line items, and sending it mints a signature request bound to that proposal and emails the signing contact a tokenised link, recording the signer's IP address, user agent and timestamp on completion. Signing accepts the proposal and converts the prospect to a client, carrying the agreed scope and fee onto the client record; accepting in the client portal also opens a project from that proposal. A completed engagement is then billed from the engagement record itself: Accute refuses to raise the invoice until every stage is complete, refuses to bill the same engagement twice, and stamps the engagement onto the invoice and its line item. The fee is entered at billing time rather than derived from the letter or from time entries. The invoice goes out with a signed hosted-pay link, the client checks out through the firm's own Razorpay or Stripe account, and the confirmation marks the invoice paid exactly once.
Ignition
We have not run their software, so we have nothing honest to put here.
Every mechanism named in that answer, listed on its own so you can put each one to us separately. Each survived an audit against the code that ships it, and anything that did not survive was struck rather than softened.
Ignition
Nothing tested, so nothing cited, so nothing claimed.
In the words we would use to a partner on a call, including the one a comparison page usually leaves out.
Accute is the alternative we can speak for. Accute holds the engagement terms and takes them to signature: a proposal record carries the letter body, the terms and the priced line items, and sending it mints a signature request bound to that proposal and emails the signing contact a tokenised link, recording the signer's IP address, user agent and timestamp on completion. Signing accepts the proposal and converts the prospect to a client, carrying the agreed scope and fee onto the client record; accepting in the client portal also opens a project from that proposal. A completed engagement is then billed from the engagement record itself: Accute refuses to raise the invoice until every stage is complete, refuses to bill the same engagement twice, and stamps the engagement onto the invoice and its line item. The fee is entered at billing time rather than derived from the letter or from time entries. The invoice goes out with a signed hosted-pay link, the client checks out through the firm's own Razorpay or Stripe account, and the confirmation marks the invoice paid exactly once.
It depends on whether the firm expects to add services. Accute is one product inside the FinACEverse suite. Staff can reach it through the suite gateway rather than through a second password: CAP issues a signed token carrying the user and the firm, and Accute verifies that token and starts the session. Where a firm account is linked to CAP, the tax-filing and audit-automation subscriptions Accute honours are read from that same suite record rather than registered again here.
No. We have not run Ignition through a firm season, so we publish no pricing for it and make no claims about its features. This page states the job firms hire proposals, engagement letters and billing to do and what Accute does against that job, which is the only half we can be held to. For the other half, read what Ignition publishes itself.
These questions decide this category. Put every one of them to Ignition, to Accute, and to anything else on your shortlist, and buy whichever answers them on a screen rather than in a deck.
The rules every page in this family is written under, printed here because you may never see the index.
Plans change, currencies differ and term discounts move the number. A price we captured once and never re-checked would be presented as current while being wrong, so we publish none. Every vendor below publishes its own pricing, and that page is the only one worth reading.
We have not run their software through a firm season, so we are not in a position to say what it does or does not do. Anyone who tells you otherwise about a product they have not used is guessing in public.
What each entry states is the job a firm hires the category to do, and what Accute does against that job. That half is ours, it is testable in a trial, and you should hold us to it.
So: no Ignition pricing on this page, and nothing about what Ignition does or does not do. Ignition publishes both, and that is the page worth reading for their half.
Ignition is the only proposals, engagement letters and billing product on this list, so the nearest comparisons sit in the other categories.
Run one real engagement through Accute, on your own client list, and hold every line in the left column against what you see. We will set that up with you rather than hand you a trial and hope.
Accounts and plans live in the FinACEverse gateway, so nothing on this page asks you for a card.
