Ignition alternative
An Ignition alternative for onboarding beyond accountants
Ignition is built for proposals, engagement letters and billing inside an accounting practice. Braigest is not a billing tool: it runs the intake form, documents, identity and screening steps, signature and delivery for accountants and also brokers, clinics, law firms, agencies and lenders.
- Engagement letters and billing, or the whole intake flow
- Built for accountants, brokers, clinics, law firms and lenders alike
- Ignition is still the stronger choice for recurring billing
What does Ignition do well
Ignition is a proposal and engagement-letter tool built for accounting and bookkeeping practices, with recurring billing and payment collection wired into the same document a client signs. A practice can send a scope of work, get it signed, and start billing against it without a separate invoicing step. That combination of proposal, signature and billing in one place is squarely what Ignition is built for.
- Proposal and engagement-letter templates
- Recurring billing tied to the signed scope
- Built for accounting and bookkeeping practices
What Braigest does differently
Braigest is not a billing tool and does not collect payments. Its job starts earlier, with a guided intake form built from the PDF your firm already uses, and continues through document generation, identity verification, and screening steps where the onboarding needs them, ending in one signature that seals the whole pack. It covers the parts of onboarding that happen before and around billing, not billing itself.
Who is Braigest built for beyond accountants
Ignition's content, templates and integrations are built specifically around the accounting and bookkeeping workflow. Braigest runs the same shape of onboarding flow for accountants and bookkeepers as well as insurance brokers, clinics, law firms, marketing and creative agencies, and consumer or business lenders, each with their own documents and compliance steps switched on rather than an accounting-specific template set.
- Accountants and bookkeepers
- Insurance brokers
- Clinics and law firms
- Agencies and lenders
When to stay with Ignition
If what your practice needs is a proposal that becomes a signed engagement letter and starts recurring billing automatically, Ignition's tight coupling of those three steps is purpose-built and hard to beat. Braigest does not compete on that ground: there is no billing or payment collection built into the flow.
What does switching look like
Bring the intake form or PDF you currently send a new client before or alongside the engagement letter. Braigest turns it into a guided form, fills your documents from the client's answers, and adds identity or screening steps where your onboarding needs them, ending in a single sealed signature. Billing and recurring invoicing stay wherever your practice already handles them.
Which plan fits
Braigest is priced by plan: Solo at 29 euro a month, Practice at 149, Firm at 499, and Enterprise on request. Ignition's pricing is structured around tiers plus add-on modules; compare it directly against the Braigest plan that matches how many client onboardings you run and whether you need identity or screening steps at all.
