Trusted by finance leaders who demand more than basic AP automation

Alyssa A.

Sr. Accountant

“Stampli provided an easy-to-use interface and smart AI that Tipalti couldn’t measure up to. The overall customer experience was much more positive in comparison.”

Curtis Ash

CFO / Avid Acceptance

“Many AP automation companies have started in the payments industry and gradually expanded to AP, but Stampli started in AP. I like that Stampli was AP first.”

Sam Pirutinsky

VP of Finance / LTC Ally

“Stampli enabled us to grow without proportionally increasing our accounts payable staff. Our ratio of employee-to-facility has dropped significantly…”

Anthony Fernandes

Financial Controller / Alden Renewables

“Without Stampli, I’d have to hire two more people to handle accounts payable. I’d say Stampli displaces $150K to $200K in labor expenses annually…”

Amanda Brown

Controller / Wenspok Companies

“Stampli allows for us to more accurately project cash flow, which helps us provide drastically better financial guidance to our owners.”

Tipalti increases manual work instead of eliminating it

Stampli adapts to your accounts payable process

Tipalti forces you to change how you work to fit their rigid system. Do you really want to redesign your workflows just to accommodate their limitations?

Billy, your AI employee, removes manual verification

Tipalti’s AI is still in its infancy, requiring human oversight for basic OCR and 24-hour processing delays. This creates more manual AP work.

Stampli respects your ERP as the source of truth

Tipalti’s one-way integration forces manual searches between systems. They don’t respect your ERP as the source of truth, creating data conflicts instead of seamless workflows.

Researching and evaluating Tipalti?

Make sure you ask these focused questions during your evaluation:

How does your AI handle invoice processing without delays?

Tipalti’s AI requires up to 24 hours for new invoice processing because human verification is still necessary. Their automation isn’t fully autonomous, forcing AP teams to wait and manually review AI-generated data.

Stampli’s AI processes invoices instantly with automation that learns from your team’s patterns. Billy the Bot eliminates manual verification while maintaining accuracy, allowing your team to focus on strategic work instead of data validation.

Can your system adapt to our existing approval workflows?

Tipalti’s rigid approval rules force you to create separate configurations for every combination of expense account, department, and location. When invoices don’t match existing rules exactly, they get stuck until admins manually create new rules.

Stampli offers dynamic workflows that adapt to your existing processes. Our AI suggests approvers automatically while allowing on-the-fly additions, ensuring invoices never get stuck due to missing approval paths.

How do you handle invoice assignment and user access control?

Tipalti shows all invoices to all users with processing roles, creating security risks and inefficiencies. Users can access invoices outside their responsibilities, making it impossible to segregate work by department or specialization.

Stampli’s Trays automatically route invoices to the right users based on your criteria. Each role sees only relevant invoices, offering maximum flexibility while maintaining security and efficiency.

What happens when we need to add custom fields or modify invoice layouts?

Tipalti’s customization is limited to basic list or free-text fields from the ERP that cannot be searched, filtered, or sorted. These constraints create inefficient workflows that don’t align with specific invoicing needs.

Stampli’s flexible invoice page serves as a central hub with full customization options. All fields are searchable and can be designated as required, enabling seamless adaptation to unique invoicing processes.

How does your system handle PO matching and complex invoices?

Tipalti’s PO matching is manual and inflexible, requiring upfront specification of matching types with cumbersome exception handling. Multi-line processing forces manual line-by-line entry without bulk selection options.

Stampli’s Cognitive AI™ for PO Matching handles complex scenarios automatically, including partial matches and discrepancies. Our system supports multiple POs per invoice and provides intuitive interfaces for detailed comparison and adjustment.

What level of communication and audit trail visibility do we get?

Tipalti’s communication capabilities are severely limited – internal messages can only be sent after coding is complete, and users without viewing permissions can’t see documents. The audit trail is scattered across multiple tabs with inconsistent information.

Stampli integrates conversation directly into each transaction’s workflow with comprehensive audit trails. Anyone in your company can participate as a free user, maintaining complete transparency and accountability in one centralized location.
