Economico vs Rillet

Rillet and Economico sit at opposite ends of a company's life. Rillet is an AI-native ERP for scaling companies — zero-day close, enterprise revenue recognition, SaaS metrics, and a modern replacement for legacy ERPs like NetSuite, run by a finance team. Economico is the finance backbone for the stage before that: a brand-new SaaS or consulting business with no finance hire and no books to migrate, run by the founder's own agent. They rarely compete for the same buyer.

Choose Rillet if…

Rillet is the right call once you have real scale and complexity: a finance team, multiple entities, an existing ERP or accounting system to migrate off, and a need for enterprise-grade close, revenue recognition, and SaaS metrics. Rillet runs its own AI across the ledger and close on its own infrastructure, so a finance team supervises rather than sets it up — and if you have that team and want a turnkey ERP they operate, that's a real advantage. Rillet genuinely wins there — "zero-day close," strong rev rec and metrics, and a smoother migration path off QuickBooks or NetSuite. It's a finance-team ERP choice, and a credible one.

Choose Economico if…

Choose Economico for the stage before ERP — before a finance hire, before migration pain exists. You get a real double-entry ledger at signup, run by your own agent — the one you already use, adapting to the business you already have — across invoicing/AR, bills/AP, credits, scenarios, and investor reporting. Economico is single-entity in v1 and doesn't claim ERP breadth; it claims to be the finance function you can run with no team, from day one. When you eventually outgrow it into ERP territory, that's a good problem — and a different tool.

Frequently asked questions

Is Economico an ERP?

No. Economico is an agent-native general ledger with AR/AP, and single-entity in v1 — not a full ERP with inventory, manufacturing, or multi-entity consolidation. Rillet plays in the ERP category; Economico is the day-one backbone before it.

Can Economico do revenue recognition and SaaS metrics like Rillet?

At startup scale, yes — straight-line recognition on annual plans and a SaaS-metrics dashboard (MRR, ARR, NRR, burn, Rule of 40). Rillet's rev rec and metrics are built for finance teams at larger scale and complexity.

Should I migrate from NetSuite to Economico?

Probably not — Economico is built for starting clean, not migrating. If you're replacing a legacy ERP, Rillet is designed for exactly that; Economico is for companies that don't have books to migrate yet.

When would I outgrow Economico?

When you add a finance team, multiple entities, or ERP-level complexity. Until then, the value is real books and CFO-grade answers with no finance hire.
