Digits just introduced outcome-based pricing for accounting firms. New pricing model aligns Digits' incentives directly with that of its customers. Firms are charged only with 95% or more of transactions are zero-touch.
Digits new pricing methodology makes them the first accounting platform to charge based on its ability to automate the majority of accounting work.
Digits, the world’s first AI-native accounting platform, was founded to handle the tedium so accountants can focus on the actual accounting. Today, advances in AI make that possible at scale. Unlike legacy accounting systems or AI layered on top of them, Digits executes the workflow directly—ingesting transactions, auto-booking them, reconciling, and reviewing—without prompting. This enables it to consistently remove the majority of manual work across a firm's client base.
Digits maintains a complete audit trail of every action—recording what was done, when, and whether a human or AI did the work. That visibility allows the platform to draw a clean line between what it automated and what it didn't, and it's now the basis of a new pricing model.
Digits refers to fully automated work as Zero-Touch Transactions™—transactions that are neither created nor edited by a human accountant before the books are closed. Instead of charging for access to software, firms pay only when Digits has demonstrably removed the tedium for a given client.
A client qualifies when 95% or more of its transactions are zero-touch. Firms are charged only for clients that meet this threshold. If a client has not reached that level of automation, Digits does not charge for that client.
“As an engineer, I’ve never been interested in selling promises,” said Jeff Seibert, Founder and CEO of Digits. “If Digits does the work, we should get paid. If it doesn’t, we shouldn’t.”
This model aligns Digits’ incentives directly with its customers, with engineering efforts focused on increasing automation across every client and transaction type.
Reggie Marable, currently Head of Sales at Sierra, has joined Digits as a strategic advisor. At Sierra, Marable helped scale one of the leading outcome-based businesses in AI, where customers pay only when AI systems successfully deliver results. His appointment reflects Digits’ position as the first accounting platform capable of bringing this model to the category.
Marable said, “When AI can do the actual work, you shouldn’t pay for potential—you should pay for results. Digits has built the only accounting platform that can deliver end-to-end outcomes, creating a new business model that redefines how accounting firms and tech companies partner together to deliver real value to clients.”
“Reggie has been at the forefront of one of the most important shifts in software,” said Seibert. “He’s helped prove that when systems can take on real work, customers expect to pay for results. Digits is the first accounting platform to deliver that.”
Outcome-based pricing introduces a new way for firms to scale. Instead of adding headcount or paying for software regardless of its impact, firms pay only when Digits has measurably reduced manual work. As performance improves, firms gain capacity without additional operational burden.
Ron Baker, co-founder of THRESHOLD and one of the most recognized voices in the accounting profession, called Digit's move a milestone for the industry saying, "The moment you price the outcome, you stop selling what you do and start pricing who the customer becomes - because people value results, not the work it took to get there."
