A Double (Keeper) alternative built for smaller firms
Double is a genuinely strong tool: for firms closing 10 or more books a month. Its pricing model is built around that volume, which means firms below that line often pay more than the sticker price suggests.
The pricing model, side by side
| Model | Double | Clerai |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing basis | Per client ($10–$50/client/mo) | Flat, by client-count tier |
| Firm minimum | $200/month, regardless of client count | None: Solo starts at $39/mo |
| Contract | Annual commitment | Month-to-month, cancel anytime |
| Trying it out | Demo required to see pricing/start | Self-serve, 14-day free trial |

The math for a 12-client firm
A solo or small firm with 12 clients hits Double's $200/month firm minimum on the Core tier already, before adding receipt management (Plus) or the full feature set (Scale) pushes the bill higher per client.
Feature parity
Both tools cover AI categorization, client chasing, and a close/review workflow. The real difference is pricing shape and commitment, not missing features.
