Key differences
Why Rappel and Finaloop are different products
You own the numbers
With Finaloop, human bookkeepers manage your books — which is great if you want to outsource. With Rappel, every journal entry is automated, reviewed, and approved by you. Full transparency, no black box.
Real-time vs monthly catch-up
Finaloop reconciles at month-end. Rappel reconciles nightly — sometimes within hours of a payout. Your P&L is always up to date without waiting for a monthly call.
10x lower price
Finaloop starts around $300–500/month depending on your revenue. Rappel's Growth plan is $79/month. If you have an in-house accountant or bookkeeper, Rappel gives them the tools to do the work themselves.
Built for European businesses
Finaloop is primarily a US product. Rappel was built with EU merchants in mind — GDPR compliance, EU data residency, VAT handling, and Xero support are first-class citizens.
