Who is BILL AI for, and what's the catch?

Suits a small business or accounting firm on QuickBooks or Xero that wants bill pay and its paperwork in one place, with two-way sync to the books. BILL says it undergoes an annual SOC 2 Type II audit, and a free trial is offered.

The catch: Essentials is $49 per user a month, so cost climbs with every person who handles bills. Melio has a free Go plan, limited to one user.
