2011 Overall Rating 4.5

Best Firm Fit:

Small to mid-sized firms that want a comprehensive solution, with a fairly predictable cost model.

Strengths:

  • Intuitive interface
  • SaaS option
  • Integrated portal solution
  • Workflow functionality
  • iQueue integration tool that lets you develop integration with virtually any application

Potential Limitations

  • No integrated scanning solution, relies on third-party application
  • Not part of a vendor suite of applications with pre-built integration

Executive Summary & Pricing

I have reviewed Acct1st for a number of years and feel even more confident in this solution than previously. I am a big fan of SaaS applications as an alternative, so I like that Acct1st lets you choose. I think they are doing a good job at building out the workflow and portal functionality to make it a viable enterprise solution. The company continues with the pricing model of $1 per day, per user for either delivery option. This is an annual fee. The portal is offered for a fixed fee of $1,000 per year with unlimited users and storage capacity. Acct1st provides a bundled implementation service, which includes installation and configuration, along with web-based training, for a flat fee of $1,500.

Experiences 2025 – AI Search

For now, Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that operate autonomously and can perceive, reason, plan, and take action in pursuit of goals. These AI agents can interact dynamically with their environment, adapt to changes, and sometimes make decisions without direct human intervention.
