Categorization, reconciliation, document capture and month-end close. Top 5, scored out of 100 on our six-part rubric (security & compliance = 20%). Reviewed 2026-10-16.
These scores come from desk research (vendor pages, industry surveys and published reviews), not hands-on testing yet. Scores within 1 point are treated as ties. Security and compliance claims are the vendors' own. Verify them with each vendor's documentation (for example a SOC 2 report) before you put client data in.
