Docyt

Docyt is a cloud-based, AI-native ERP combining accounting, payments, and business intelligence for hotels, restaurants, retailers, and franchises. Its accounting suite automates revenue reconciliation, ongoing bank and card reconciliation, and month-end close on Docyt’s ledger. Payment tools include bill pay, corporate cards, receivables, vendor management, and budget controls. Business intelligence features include daily flash reports, USALI reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning. Docyt connects with point-of-sale and business management systems to bring in revenue, customer, and transaction data, and lists integrations across hospitality, retail, restaurants, SaaS, ERP, and accounting. Its mobile app supports expense management, transaction categorization, revenue tracking, and financial reports. Docyt says its SOC 2 Type II controls are independently audited annually, and data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS. It also says customer data is not used to train models for other companies or sent to public models for training. A free Accountant Copilot plan is listed; Profitbooks costs $99 a month per entity and includes a 7-day trial. An entity means one legal business or location with its own books.

Overview

Docyt is a cloud ERP that combines accounting workflows, payments and business intelligence for hospitality, restaurant, retail and franchise operations. It is best suited to organizations managing financial activity across businesses or locations. Its breadth is useful when those workflows need to work together, but may be more than a single-business owner needs.

Connections to point-of-sale and business management systems bring revenue, customer and transaction data into Docyt, with integrations spanning hospitality, retail, restaurant, SaaS, ERP and accounting systems. The service runs on the web, Android and iOS. Its mobile app covers expense management, transaction categorization, revenue tracking and financial reports, with in-app chat and document sharing and storage in the free version.

Key features

Accounting and close

Docyt automates revenue reconciliation, ongoing bank and card reconciliation, and month-end close on its ledger. Journal-entry automation and close-task management add coverage beyond matching transactions. That combination should appeal to teams handling repeated close work across locations; a business seeking only basic bookkeeping may not need the wider system.

Payments and controls

The payments suite brings together bill pay, corporate cards, receivables, vendor management and budget controls. Keeping these functions alongside accounting can help businesses coordinate spending and incoming payments with their financial records. The fit is strongest for operators with these connected processes, rather than someone shopping for a standalone payment tool.

Reporting and safeguards

Daily flash reports, USALI reporting, budgeting, forecasting and scenario planning give operators tools for monitoring performance and planning ahead. Docyt states that it has SOC 2 Type II controls independently audited annually, encrypts data at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS, and does not use customer data to train models for other companies or send it to public models for training. Its audit trail logs reads and writes, records corrections as new entries, and includes an explanation and reviewer for AI decisions. Scheduled open-format exports and API access are available to enterprise customers, a useful distinction for portfolios that need data portability.

Pricing

Docyt has a free plan, paid plans from $99/mo and a 7-day free trial. Pricing is per entity: one legal business or location with its own books, such as a restaurant, hotel property or retail store. For multi-location operators, the per-entity basis matters when estimating total cost.

• Accountant Copilot: $0 /entity/mo, free forever. It includes AI categorization, bank and card reconciliation, month-end close automation and QuickBooks Online integration. This is the lowest-risk fit for accounting firms exploring those workflows, but it is not the paid operational suite.
• Profitbooks: $99 /entity/mo, month-to-month with cancellation anytime, and a 7-day free trial. Aimed at small businesses, it is the entry paid option; add-on modules cost $50/entity/month, so the price can rise as needs expand.
• Enterprise Suite: From $299 /entity/mo, with annual billing and tier pricing by hotel size. It includes the accounting suite and is aimed at hotels and restaurants; the starting price and annual term make it a more consequential commitment than Profitbooks.
• Custom Suite: Custom pricing and contracts for multi-location portfolios, with volume pricing, a dedicated implementation team, priority SLA support and custom integrations. This is the plan for larger portfolios whose implementation or integration needs exceed standard plans.

Platforms

Docyt is available on Android, iOS and the web. The mobile app supports expense and transaction tasks as well as revenue tracking and financial reports, while the web offering provides the broader cloud service.

Who it's for

Hotels, restaurants, retailers and franchises are the clearest fit, particularly when they need accounting, payments and reporting across multiple locations or entities. Accounting firms and BPOs are also among Docyt’s intended customers. A small business can start with Profitbooks, but should weigh the per-entity charge and $50/entity/month add-on modules against its actual needs.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Accounting, payment workflows and business intelligence sit in one system, which suits operators coordinating financial processes across locations.
• Pro: The free Accountant Copilot plan includes reconciliation and close automation plus QuickBooks Online integration, giving accounting firms a no-subscription starting point.
• Pro: Logged activity, recorded corrections and explanations for AI decisions provide a clear audit trail.
• Con: Entity-based pricing can compound for businesses with many locations, and Profitbooks add-ons carry a separate per-entity charge.
• Con: The Enterprise Suite starts at $299 /entity/mo and uses annual billing, a substantial commitment for smaller operators.
• Con: Scheduled exports and API access are reserved for enterprise customers, limiting those options on other plans.

Verdict

Choose Docyt if your hotel, restaurant, retail business or franchise needs accounting, payments and reporting connected across entities, and the per-location cost works for your operation. Its free Accountant Copilot plan is a credible starting point for reconciliation and close workflows. Look elsewhere if you need only basic bookkeeping, or if entity pricing and the annual Enterprise Suite commitment outweigh the value of the broader system.
