Side by side
What each one is, and where it stops.
Their words are quoted, not paraphrased.
| Orla | Dimely | |
|---|---|---|
| What it isIn one sentence | The finance back office that runs itself: bills, payouts, cards, invoices, and the month for your accountant, up to pre-accounting | “The contract-to-cash automation platform”: it “reviews contracts to understand what should be billed, recognized, and tracked, then does it” |
| PriceTheir site, this month | Free forever; Pro $69, Scale $199, Enterprise $499 a month, bought on the site without a call | No price on the site; Book a demo on every button |
| Who it is forThe buyer | A company where nobody is a finance person, and the people who work in it | A finance team with Salesforce, NetSuite and Ironclad already in place; the customers named on the page are Forward Networks, Checkr, Airbyte and OneSignal |
| The contractWhat happens to it | Read by the assistant: a monthly fee becomes a schedule of invoices, a milestone waits for a person and goes out on a press, a new version of the file is reread and the difference is parked on a card for you | Found among every governing document, the winning version picked, every field cited to its clause, checked against the CRM, then written into the ERP |
| The booksWhere the money lands | A cash ledger with categories and account codes, a month that closes with a fingerprint, a journal export for Xero and QuickBooks; no double entry, no chart of accounts, and nothing is filed anywhere | Not theirs: invoices and revenue are created in your ERP, and the books stay there |
| Moving moneyPayouts, bills, cards | Payout batches up to 200 rows, approval thresholds and a quorum, cards with a ceiling, supplier bills; nothing leaves without a person's signature | None; nothing to sign |
| CryptoExchanges and wallets | First class: six exchanges by read-only key, BTC, EVM, TRON and Solana wallets, a cost basis kept through swaps, and payouts sent in stablecoins | Not mentioned anywhere |
| Agent doorMCP | Your own agent by key or MCP, with roles, daily caps and a wallet of its own; an assistant that answers from the same rows and acts one press at a time | An MCP announced on 8 September 2026, with contracts and billing behind the door |
Fair is fair
When Dimely is the right choice.
A comparison you can trust has to be able to say this.
- You run NetSuite and Salesforce, recognise revenue under ASC 606, and the seam that hurts is the contract not matching the systems.
- You want every extracted field to cite the clause it came from, and a decision that is remembered for the next contract like it.
- Your invoices already go out from an ERP, and what you need is for them to be right.
Where Orla is different
The contract goes all the way to the money.
If any of this is your company, the comparison decides itself.
- No ERP: the invoices are issued here, chased here, marked paid here when the money lands, on a bank or a chain.
- The same book pays the contractors the contract funds, with a threshold and a quorum, and hands the month to the accountant as files.
- A company of three to thirty, priced on the site, started today.
Questions
The questions the table does not answer.
Does Orla read contracts the way Dimely does?
Orla's assistant reads a contract and turns it into a schedule of invoices: a monthly fee runs on its own, a milestone waits for a press, a new version is reread and the difference parked on a card. Dimely goes deeper on the reading: every document governing a deal found, the winning version picked, each field cited to its clause, and the result written into your ERP.
Do I need an ERP for Orla?
No. Orla is the book. The invoices are issued, chased and marked paid here, the contractors are paid here, and the month leaves as files for the accountant. Dimely needs a system to write into: NetSuite, Salesforce and the like.
Which one is priced on the site?
Orla: Free, Pro $69, Scale $199, Enterprise $499 a month. Dimely names no price and every button books a demo.
