EconomicoCompare
Agent-native ERP for startups
Need to explain revenue, costs and obligations before taking on a full ERP?
Compare the options
If you need to explain revenue and obligations now, compare that job with a full finance-team ERP rollout. Economico gives you a live economic model grounded in books your own agents run.
Rillet is built for a scaling company’s finance team; Economico starts with the pre-seed or seed builder before that team exists.
| Decision | Rillet, an ERP for a scaling finance team | Economico |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | A finance team coordinating an ERP, close and reporting. | A founder who needs to explain what was earned, spent and owed before hiring a finance team. |
| Work covered | Revenue recognition, SaaS reporting and finance-team workflows. | Contracts, recorded activity, entries and reports for one business. |
| Still needed | An ERP rollout and team process. | Separate tools for payroll, inventory, procurement and multi-entity books. |
Can I explain the business without a full ERP?
Record the agreement first, then the activity that fulfills it. The resulting entries and reports use those terms; they are not guesses from a dashboard.
When does a founder actually need an ERP?
An ERP earns its complexity when a finance team must coordinate close, approvals, revenue recognition and data from many systems. Rillet is built for that stage and brings AI to the finance-team workflow. A builder still finding the first repeatable sales motion may need an answer to a narrower question: what was earned, spent and owed from one real contract?
The gain from Economico is a source-linked model the builder’s own agent can operate before an ERP project. The cost is that the agent needs the agreements and activity supplied and reviewed; Economico will not migrate an existing finance stack, import the bank or manage a close team.
Look for an ERP when coordinating people and systems is the bottleneck. Start with the business record when the bottleneck is explaining the economics of a software product.
A metered contract before an ERP rollout
If your AI product sells usage-based service, record the tiered terms and measured usage. Your agent can inspect the rated revenue, amount due and source activity before you have a finance team.
The missing finance-team workflow
Inventory, payroll, procurement and multi-entity books are outside the current offer. If those are the job, evaluate an ERP or specialist system.
Ask about the first usage contract
Read how activity reaches the books. Record a tiered customer deal and measured usage; ask what it earned and what remains due.
