Numeric vs FloQast Pricing, FloQast Cost, Reconciliation and Fit Compared

Numeric and FloQast are both close management platforms sold to accounting teams, and until recently the cleanest way to tell them apart was what each one published about price. Numeric printed a starting figure, $30 per user per month for its Essentials tier, until it removed it in September 2026; it now quotes each module after a demo. FloQast prints no figure for any of its six packages and states plainly that it does not charge per user at all. So neither publishes a price now, and the real differences are in what each tier includes and who each one is built for.

Every price and package name below was checked against numeric.io and floqast.com on August 16, 2026, and Numeric's pricing page was re-checked on September 25, 2026. Both vendors change packaging, so verify before you budget.

Numeric vs FloQast and which one to buy

Buy Numeric if you are a small or growing finance team that wants a fast start and a modern close checklist, and you can live with the fact that the automation you probably came for sat in the higher tiers, which were always quoted. Buy FloQast if you are a larger accounting organization where the close, the review workflow and the compliance program need to live in one system, headcount is growing, and you have a procurement process that can absorb a quote cycle.

Neither is a transaction matching engine in the sense that a high volume operations team means it, and that is the most common mismatch in this comparison. If your actual problem is that a hundred thousand bank and processor lines have to be paired every month, both of these are the wrong shape and you want a matching engine underneath your close tool rather than instead of it.

How much do Numeric and FloQast cost?

Neither publishes a figure now. Numeric published one until September 2026; FloQast has published none. Here is what each site shows.

Numeric used to be the more transparent of the two, which genuinely counted for something when you were building a budget line before you had permission to take vendor calls. Even then the transparency was narrower than it first appeared, which is the next section and still the most useful thing on this page.

The $30 tier did not include the reconciliation automation

This is the detail that changed evaluations, and it sat in plain sight on Numeric's own pricing page. Essentials, the once-published tier, is the close project management layer: month-end, quarter-end and year-end task tracking, preparer and reviewer segregation of duties, a holiday calendar upload, review notes and custom task categories, Slack integration with a daily digest, email request automations, and a technical AI assistant.

The things most people are actually shopping for arrive one tier up. Growth is where Numeric puts live ERP and file storage integration, auto-reconciliation with a notification when an account no longer reconciles, AI parsing of bank statements for reconciliation, flux analysis, and CPA led onboarding. Enterprise adds ongoing transaction monitoring, custom reporting, unlimited flux reporting, SAML single sign-on, live bank feed integrations, and the Cash Management product that does matching and journal entry automation.

So if you found Numeric by searching for reconciliation software, the old $30 was never the price of the thing you searched for. Growth and Enterprise were both "Custom", and since September 2026 every tier is quoted, so your real number comes from a quote just as it would with FloQast. By September 29, 2026 Numeric had also dropped the tier names from its pricing page and now sells four modules, Close Management and Analytics, Cash Management, Billing and Revenue, and an ERP Replacement that swaps out NetSuite, each behind a Schedule Demo button. Do not build a spreadsheet around $30 times headcount.

How much does FloQast cost?

FloQast does not publish a dollar figure. Every one of its six packages, from Close Optimization to FloQast Transform, shows Contact Sales, and the pricing page says in its headline that FloQast charges no per-user fees. The price is a quote scoped to the packages you pick and the size of your close, so a demo is the only way to a number. The $125 per user figure repeated on comparison sites is not how FloQast says it sells today. We break down what FloQast costs and what moves the quote separately, and compare the whole category in our financial close software pricing guide.

Does FloQast charge per user?

No, and it says so in a headline on its own pricing page: "No Per-User Fees. Pricing Built Around Value, Not Headcount." The supporting copy states that packages "scale with your business outcomes, not your seat count" and that pricing is customized to each organization's scope and scale. That is an unusually explicit commitment for this category and it is worth taking at face value in a negotiation.

It also inverts the comparison depending on your size. A six-person accounting team on a per-user model pays for six people. A forty-person team on the same model pays for forty, and at some headcount a package price that ignores seat count becomes the cheaper structure. Nobody can tell you where that crossover sits for your organization, because one side of the equation is unpublished. What you can do is ask both vendors for a three-year number at your projected headcount rather than your current one, which is the question that surfaces the difference.

What is the difference between Numeric and FloQast?

Strip out the marketing and there are four differences that actually decide the purchase.

The compliance line is the one that separates them most in practice. FloQast sells the close and the control program as one connected thing, which is a real advantage if you are a public company or heading toward an audit that will ask who performed each control and who reviewed it. If that is your driver, it is worth being systematic about the obligations themselves as well as the close, because a close tool records that a task was done and not why the task exists or which regulation demands it, and keeping track of which controls map to which obligations is a separate discipline that neither of these products covers.

Which financial close systems offer the cheapest entry-level plans for small finance teams?

None of the named close platforms publishes an entry price now. Numeric listed $30 per user per month for Essentials until it removed the figure in September 2026. Among the wider category, only a handful of smaller tools publish anything at all. BlackLine's pricing page returned a server error when checked in August 2026 and Trintech's returns a 404, so neither publishes a figure. FloQast publishes package names without prices. For a genuinely small team, the honest answer is that the cheapest entry point is usually the close checklist you already have plus a matching tool for the part that actually eats time, rather than a platform license.

Does Numeric do reconciliation?

Yes, from the Growth tier upward. Numeric's auto-reconciliation flags when an account no longer reconciles, its AI parses bank statements for reconciliation, and its Enterprise tier adds a Cash Management product that handles matching and journal entry automation. What it is not is a standalone high volume matching engine, and it is not sold as one. The reconciliation sits inside a close management product, which suits teams whose close is the organizing problem and suits teams drowning in transaction volume rather less.

Where a matching engine fits alongside either one

Plenty of teams end up owning both a close platform and a matching engine, and the split is usually clean. The close platform owns the calendar, the task list, the review hierarchy and the evidence that each account was signed off. The matching engine owns the part where fifty thousand bank lines, processor payouts and ledger entries have to be paired before any of that sign-off means anything. Reconciler is the second kind of tool: it takes bank statements and ledger exports as CSV or connects Mercury, Brex, Stripe, PayPal, Square, QuickBooks Online, Xero and NetSuite read-only, pairs the transactions, explains each match in plain English, and publishes its prices at $29, $89 and $239 per month.

If you are not sure which of the two you are shopping for, enterprise reconciliation software sorts the nine different products sold under that name into the three separate industries that sell them, and says which six of them we do not do at all. The vendor by vendor view of what everyone in this category publishes about price is on account reconciliation software pricing, and month end close software separates the four different products sold under the close label.

Questions worth asking both vendors

These are the ones that produce different answers rather than the same brochure.

• What is the three-year total at our projected headcount, not our current one? This is where a per-user model and a package model separate.
• Which tier or package contains auto-reconciliation, and what does that phrase mean here? With Numeric the answer was Growth and above, per its former pricing page. With FloQast it is Close Automation, and you need the scope in writing.
• What happens when an account stops reconciling? Notification, workflow, ownership, ageing. This is the difference between a checklist and a control.
• How many transactions per account are you comfortable with? Ask for a customer reference at your volume, not your revenue.
• What does implementation actually involve, in weeks, and who does the work? Chart of accounts mapping and rule configuration land on your team regardless of what the statement of work says.
• Is there a per-entity charge? Multi-entity groups regularly discover this after the headline number is agreed.

The honest summary

Numeric is the lighter platform and the easier one to start with, but it no longer publishes a price, and even its old $30 figure bought the close checklist rather than the reconciliation automation. FloQast is the more complete program for a larger accounting organization, particularly one carrying a compliance obligation, and it will cost you a quote cycle to find out what it costs. Both are close platforms first. Neither replaces a matching engine if your real bottleneck is volume.

Deeper on each one individually: Numeric alternatives covers what Numeric does well and where teams outgrow it, FloQast alternatives does the same for FloQast, and how much FloQast costs goes further into what moves a FloQast quote up or down. The scored head to head across the whole category, including where each vendor beats us, is on best account reconciliation software.
