What else you could use.

Five tools a practice is likely to weigh DeskMate against. Three are general AI assistants your staff may already be using. Two are accounting products that we connect to rather than replace. Each page says where the other tool is the better choice.

General AI assistants

AI assistant

DeskMate vs Copilot

Copilot knows your mail and documents. DeskMate knows your ledger, and it runs inside Teams.

AI assistant

DeskMate vs ChatGPT

DeskMate runs on OpenAI models too. The difference is everything around the model: Sydney, the ledger, the approval.

DeskMate vs Claude

Claude is a capable general assistant with a Xero connector. DeskMate is narrower: practice work, onshore, approved.

Accounting software

DeskMate vs Dext

Dext gets receipts and bills into the ledger. DeskMate does the practice work after that. Most firms keep both.

Accounting software

DeskMate vs FYI

FYI is where documents, email and jobs live. DeskMate connects to it and does work across FYI and the ledger.

How we write these

We make one of them

These pages are written by the DeskMate team, so read them knowing that. We keep the comparison to things you can check yourself.

Their words, their pages

Anything said about another product comes from that company’s own pricing, documentation or trust pages, linked at the foot of each comparison and dated.

Where they win, we say so

Every page names the practice that should pick the other tool. A comparison with no losing column is a brochure.

Try it on your own ledger.

21 days, no card, against your practice’s own Xero or MYOB. Keep the tools you already use; DeskMate connects to them.
