AvidXChange focuses on payments. Centime starts earlier—with OCR, PO matching, and smart coding—then goes further with AR, forecasting, and banking in one platform.
Centime connects natively to NetSuite and Sage Intacct, with a deep real-time integration for QuickBooks. AvidXChange relies on third-party APIs and batch syncs that introduce delays and data gaps.
Centime captures invoices with AI-powered OCR, then automatically matches to POs and receipts—no manual review required. AvidXChange starts at payment processing, not capture or matching.
With Centime, you don't just automate payables—you accelerate collections too. From invoice delivery to payment reminders to customer portals, AR automation is built in. AvidXChange has no AR module.
Centime automatically forecasts your 13-week cash position based on live AP and AR data. With AvidXChange, you're still stitching together spreadsheets.
With Centime Banking, you earn 2.25% APY†† on your AP balances—covering your automation costs and improving working capital. AvidXChange profits off float. Centime puts that money back in your pocket.
AvidXChange helps you process payments. But it wasn't built to manage the full scope of finance operations. You're still stitching together tools for invoice capture, approvals, forecasting, and AR.
