Get AI-powered accounting without giving up control
No need to create a new bank account or change how clients pay you. Rounded is easier, more flexible, and more affordable than Thriday.Track income and expenses with any bank account
Rounded connects to 130+ financial institutions. Our secure Bank Feed is simple to set up and imports transactions in seconds.
Thriday requires you to open and only use their bank account. If you use other accounts, you’ll have to add transactions manually, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.
AI reconciliation without compromise
Thriday’s excessive reliance on AI makes it hard to spot errors and even harder to correct them, as you’ll be unable to fix your own data without someone from their team.
Rounded leverages AI to cut out unnecessary work while keeping you in the driver’s seat as a safeguard. You’ll have the chance to quickly review every transaction for accuracy and make changes if needed.
Master Rounded in minutes
Your client will have received your first Rounded invoice before you've finished signing up for a Thriday bank account.

How do Rounded and Thriday compare
More ways to get paid
Rounded users can get paid into any bank account and accept credit card payments. You can even add a surcharge to cover transaction processing fees, so you’ll receive the full amount you’re owed.
Thriday forces users to get paid in a Thriday bank account, limiting options for yourself and your clients.
included
Built-in time tracking
Rounded’s time tracker records every second you spend on a project and instantly converts it to an invoice when finished.
Thriday doesn’t have a time tracker, so you’ll have to pay extra for another app and manually move data across systems. Not only does this make your process more complicated and time-consuming, but it also introduces the risk of inaccuracies.
included
No hidden fees
Every Rounded feature is available in one of our 2 affordable plans, so you can choose the one that suits you. We’re upfront and fully transparent about our pricing.
Thriday, on the other hand, only offers one plan and charges additional fees on top of your subscription for some of its most necessary features. You’ll only find the actual cost after doing a bit of digging on their site and in the depths of their FAQs. Overall, you’ll spend more on just one of Thriday’s extras than on a year’s subscription to Rounded.
included
Work with (or without) an accountant
Rounded’s reports give you all the information you’ll need for tax time so you can lodge your own tax return. If you prefer to work with an expert, simply give them secure access to your account via our portal. Everything stays safe and organised in one place, and your accountant will thank you for making their life easier.
Thriday wants you to pay extra for their premium accounting service, meaning there’s no easy way to work with your existing accountant. You’ll have to waste time downloading CSV files and double-handling data – or risk sharing your login and compromising your account.
included
Try risk-free
If Rounded isn’t right for you, you can cancel anytime with one click. Plus, you can take all your data with you, and completely delete your personal, business, and financial information from Rounded’s systems. You’re in control.
Thriday has a free trial, but you’ll need to sign up for a bank account and Visa card first. If you decide not to continue, you’ll have to complete a bunch of paperwork and go back and forth with their team to cancel.
Ultimately, Thriday owns your data – while you can take a copy with you, they store your information for 7 years with no option to delete it from their system.

Fantastic accounting app! It's such a stress relief! The invoicing system is simple, easy and just works! Connection to my bank account is flawless and it makes reconciliation a breeze. I highly recommend this app for any small business!
The way Rounded works just makes sense to me. The invoices are beautifully designed, the payment tracking makes sense, and the overall design of both the website and the app are delightful to use. Wow, did I just call an accounting tool delightful?

Frequently Asked Questions
Definitely not. However, we’ve found a lot of sole traders value working with an accountant or bookkeeper, especially at tax time. Because of this, we’ve made it super easy for you to securely offer access to your Rounded account via the Rounded Accountant Portal. There's no cost to your accountant for using this feature, as it's included with every Rounded subscription.
You can easily snap pictures of receipts using our mobile app and attach them to expense records. You can also upload files from your computer when using the desktop version of Rounded.
We partner with Basiq, an Australian company based in Sydney, to provide bank feed data. Login details are not kept in the Rounded technical environment and the financial data shown inside the app is “read-only”, so there's no way to initiate any kind of payment or transfer. We also offer multi-factor authentication to help keep your data totally secure.
Nope! Unlike Thriday, you can use Rounded on your own terms.
Don't want to connect your bank account? Simply enter expenses manually or even bulk import from an existing spreadsheet – our support team will be happy to assist.
The Bank Feed is one of the features included in our Pro subscription, along with GST tracking, BAS, and unlimited invoice templates.
We offer data migration services to help you transfer records from other accounting software or spreadsheets. Get in touch with our team to find out more.
