3 reasons to upgrade from Tipalti to Airbase.

More than AP Automation.

Airbase unites all stakeholders in one collaborative system and solves for the complete procure-to-pay cycle.

Tipalti has no true “intake” solution — only basic request form customizations (similar to WFB), with no ability to set dynamic conditions based on responses in the submit form.

Invoice scanning ocr optical character recognition

Better experience.

Airbase provides a touchless experience that goes beyond just invoice processing, providing higher automation, speed, and efficiency for companies across the entire P2P process.

Tipalti is mainly a legacy AP platform with outdated UX that works well as a back-office tool and for supplier onboarding.

Exchange Rate Risk

More consistent and transparent pricing.

Airbase’s pricing is subscription based and thus predictable — customers know what they’re paying for up front.

Tipalti operates on a transaction-based pricing model that leaves customers paying fees for domestic ACH transactions. In addition, Tipalti also has a higher FX rate (2.5%).

Customers are happier with Airbase.

Here’s how G2 reviewers compare the two.

Real reviews from real customers.

It doesn’t get any easier.

Very user-friendly with lots of functionality designed for frequent users. The interface and recognition tech built in makes it so you barely have to key anything in.

Airbase + Growth Company.

Airbase has transformed our ability to efficiently process, report, and analyze all non-payroll spend. It syncs directly with our GL (NetSuite) and provides the appropriate level of financial controls for our size/stage.

Airbase we love it!

  • The accounts payable function is the best. From approvals to actual bill pay, it is super easy to use and set up.
  • We love the GL integration into NetSuite — saves us tons of time in reconciliations.
  • Virtual Cards are awesome as well. It takes seconds to set up and immediately syncs to our GL.

When I think of AP at Bushel now, I don’t think of it as a task because it’s basically all automated.
