Client Hub or Double: which is right for your firm?

Double, formerly Keeper, is a capable month-end close platform built around a two-way sync with the ledger.

Client Hub is full practice management for firms that want the close, the clients and the team in one system — at a price that does not move with your client list.

Choose Client Hub if...

• You want one price per user, with unlimited clients included
• Your client list is growing and you do not want the bill growing with it
• You want your team productive on day one without training
• You want full practice management, not a close tool with client features attached
• You want tax questionnaires, document requests and eSignatures without a separate suite
• You want AI you can use freely, not metered against a credit balance

Double may be a better fit if...

• Month-end close is your single biggest pain and you want a tool built only for that
• You have a large team relative to your client count, and unlimited users outweighs per-client pricing
• Automated accrual schedules that post back to the ledger are a core need

Double charges by the client. That gets expensive fast.

Double bills per connected client per month, with unlimited users. Their current published rates: Core $10, Plus $25, Scale $50 per client per month.

A working bookkeeper carries about 15 clients. Spread those across the three tiers — five simple, five mid, five complex — and one bookkeeper costs $425 a month, or $5,100 a year, before a single teammate is added.

Client Hub is $79 per user per month on Practice Manager Plus. That same bookkeeper costs $948 a year, with unlimited clients.

Assumes 15 clients per bookkeeper split evenly across Double's Core ($10), Plus ($25) and Scale ($50) tiers. Client Hub at Practice Manager Plus, $79/user/month annually, unlimited clients. Confirm current pricing on each site.

A ten-bookkeeper firm pays Double more than $50,000 a year. The same firm runs on Client Hub for under $10,000.

Takeaway: Double's bill grows every time you win a client. Ours does not.

One screen tells the story

Double's close screen

• A top bar carrying nine controls — a home selector, a client selector, a period selector, three teammate avatars, then Info, Portal, Files, Comments and an overflow menu
• Five tabs beneath it: Bank feeds, Accruals, Close, Metrics, Reporting
• Status cards reading “Ready (16) · Requests (3) · Waiting (66)” and “Uploads (4) · Transactions (143)” — four numbers before you have done anything
• A nested collapsible task tree: Tasks for Apr ’26 → Accruals → Transaction Review → Transactions over $1000 → Uncategorized Transactions
• An AI composer panel floating on top of all of it

Their flux analysis screen is a nine-column spreadsheet grid — two checkbox columns, Account, two month columns, Comments, Footnotes, Variance, Flux analysis — under a toolbar of seven more controls, with another AI panel overlaid.

Client Hub's workspace

A slim icon rail and four plain cards — Jobs, Pinned, Notes, Email. Jobs shows three items with a status chip, a task count and a date each. That is the screen.

Double can't do accountant-facing experience in a mobile app, it's just too complex. Client Hub firms are leveraging the convenience of the mobile app every day.

The difference shows up when you're training your staff. It is how many days they need to put in, before they can do the first useful thing.

Takeaway: Your team should be useful on day one, not after training.

Frequently asked questions

Is Double the same as Keeper?

Yes. Keeper rebranded to Double in October 2025 following a trademark dispute. Same company, same product.

How does Double's pricing compare with Client Hub?

Double charges per connected client per month — $10 on Core, $25 on Plus, $50 on Scale — with unlimited users. Client Hub charges per firm user, $59 or $79 per month annually, with unlimited clients. A firm of ten bookkeepers carrying 150 clients pays Double around $51,000 a year against under $10,000 for Client Hub.

Does Double work with Xero?

Yes, with a genuine two-way sync, same as QuickBooks Online. Their Ask Double AI assistant, however, is documented as “currently available for QuickBooks clients only.”

Does Double have a mobile app for my team?

No. Double's mobile app is built for clients — their documentation states that only Contacts can log in, so your staff cannot use it. Client Hub has a mobile app for your team as well as your clients.

Does Double replace my whole practice management stack?

Double is built around month-end close and file review rather than full practice management. Compare the workflows your firm runs every day — jobs, deadlines, client requests, documents and team collaboration — against what each system covers.

What is Double genuinely good at?

Month-end close and file review. Their transaction review reports, expense inconsistency detection against a year of history, automated accruals and AI journal entries are purpose-built and good. If close quality is your only problem, look at them seriously.

How difficult is it to migrate from Double?

Our team guides you through setup and moving your clients across, and onboarding is included at no additional cost.

Simpler software. A fraction of the bill.

One screen your team understands on day one, a mobile app they can actually use, and a bill that does not grow every time you win a client. A typical ten-bookkeeper firm keeps over $40,000 a year.
