AI-powered automation vs traditional accounting workflows

While Campfire modernizes traditional accounting, JustPaid's autonomous AI agent eliminates manual work entirely—from contract reading to collections, everything runs on autopilot.

Why fast-growing companies choose JustPaid over Campfire

Campfire positions itself as a "modern accounting platform" for tech companies, but modern doesn't mean autonomous. While they've updated traditional accounting workflows with better UX and some automation, you're still manually managing invoicing, chasing payments, and reconciling accounts. That's where JustPaid fundamentally differs.

JustPaid isn't just another accounting platform with a fresh coat of paint. We've built an autonomous AI agent that handles your entire revenue operations workflow—from reading contracts to collecting payments. Here's how we compare on the capabilities that matter most for scaling B2B companies:

Autonomous AI vs modernized workflows

Campfire modernizes accounting workflows with better interfaces and some automation, but you're still the one driving the process. You manually create invoices, chase payments, and reconcile accounts—just with nicer tools. JustPaid's autonomous AI agent handles everything end-to-end. It reads your contracts, generates invoices automatically, sends personalized collection sequences, and reconciles payments—all without human intervention.

Built for complex B2B billing, not just accounting

Campfire focuses on core accounting features—general ledger, journal entries, and financial reporting. That's great if you need traditional accounting software with modern UX. But B2B companies need more than just accounting; they need sophisticated billing automation. JustPaid handles usage-based pricing, complex contract terms, multi-year agreements, custom escalations, and hybrid billing models that accounting platforms simply can't manage.

AI that learns vs static automation

Campfire's automation is rule-based and static—set it once and it runs the same way forever. JustPaid's AI continuously learns from your business patterns, optimizing collection messages for each customer, predicting payment delays, and improving cash flow forecasting accuracy over time. The more you use JustPaid, the smarter and more effective it becomes at getting you paid faster.

Days to value vs weeks of implementation

Implementing Campfire requires migrating your entire accounting system—a 4-6 week process involving data migration, chart of accounts setup, and training your team on new workflows. JustPaid integrates with your existing systems in 3-7 days. We don't replace your accounting software; we supercharge your billing and collections processes while working alongside your current tools.

Transparent pricing for every stage

With Campfire, you'll need to go through a sales process to get custom pricing—often resulting in enterprise-level costs even for growing startups. JustPaid offers transparent, published pricing starting at just $50/month. Our pricing scales fairly with your revenue, and we're currently offering a 50% discount for early-stage companies. No sales calls, no hidden fees, just straightforward value.

When to choose JustPaid over Campfire

Campfire might work if you need a full accounting system replacement with modern UX. But choose JustPaid when:

  • You want autonomous AI handling your entire billing workflow, not just prettier accounting software
  • Your contracts are complex with custom terms, usage-based pricing, or enterprise agreements
  • You're losing 20+ hours/week to manual invoicing and collections despite having "modern" tools
  • You need to be operational in days, not weeks
  • You want AI that learns and improves your collections effectiveness over time
  • You prefer transparent pricing without enterprise sales negotiations
  • You need sophisticated revenue operations, not just accounting features
  • Your team wants to focus on growth, not chasing payments

Seamless integration, not system replacement

Unlike Campfire which requires replacing your entire accounting system, JustPaid integrates with your existing tools. Keep using QuickBooks, NetSuite, or whatever accounting system you prefer. We'll handle the billing automation and collections while syncing perfectly with your current setup. Implementation takes days, not weeks, with zero disruption to your operations.
