Short answer
Choose Tailride if you are a small or mid-sized business focused on collecting invoices from connected inboxes and supplier portals, recovering inbox history, reconciling bank activity, and posting to common accounting systems at a published self-service price. Starter is $19 per month or $158 per year, with unlimited users on every plan.
Choose Dost if you need a configured, ERP-connected platform spanning accounts payable and receivable, including three-way matching, approvals, supplier payments, bank reconciliation, portals, and financial reporting.
What is Dost?
Dost (available at dost.io) is an AI-native finance platform for accounts payable and receivable. It captures financial documents, extracts and codes line items, matches invoices with purchase orders and delivery notes, routes approvals, connects to ERPs, manages payments, and reconciles bank activity.
Dost does not publish numeric pricing on its current website. Its official FAQ says plans depend on invoice volume and team size and directs buyers to sales. Dost targets an end-to-end, ERP-connected finance workflow; Tailride is self-service and focused on invoice collection, supplier portals, line-item coding and bank reconciliation.
Where Dost has the edge
Dost solves a broader enterprise document-operations problem than a simple invoice collector. It is the stronger choice when:
Invoice, delivery-note and order reconciliation
Dost explicitly targets automated matching across supplier invoices, delivery notes and purchase orders, including line-by-line discrepancy checks. Tailride focuses on invoice-to-bank reconciliation.
ERP-led process automation
Dost publishes bidirectional integrations with systems including SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics and Sage, syncing invoices, suppliers, accounts, cost centres and purchase orders.
End-to-end AP and AR
Dost covers approvals, supplier payments, customer invoicing, payment reminders, bank reconciliation, portals and financial analytics in addition to document capture.
Custom enterprise implementation
Dost offers demo-led implementation adapted to company ERPs, banks, entities and approval rules. Tailride is designed for faster self-service onboarding and standardized integrations.
Where Tailride wins
Transparent self-service pricing
Tailride publishes every allowance and price, from a permanent free tier through Starter at $19 per month or $158 per year, Growth, Scale and Premium. Dost publishes no numeric plan prices and asks buyers to contact sales.
Published capacity, including users
Tailride publishes 2 connected inboxes on Free and Starter, 8 on Growth, 20 on Scale and unlimited on Premium, with unlimited users and invited accountants on every plan. Dost's current website does not publish plan-by-plan inbox or user allowances.
Retroactive inbox scanning
Tailride scans existing inbox history to recover old invoices during onboarding, on every plan. Dost publishes multi-channel capture, but not a comparable self-service retroactive inbox scan.
Teachable browser extension for any portal
Tailride includes unlimited supplier portals and runs its teachable browser extension inside your own authenticated session, so it reaches custom and intranet portals too. Dost offers a supplier portal for submissions, but not this self-service browser model.
Self-service setup, no implementation project
Tailride users connect inboxes, supplier portals, bank data and accounting destinations themselves, in minutes. Dost is bought through a demo and scoped with its team around your ERP, banks, entities and approval rules.
Ten published accounting destinations
Tailride posts directly to QuickBooks, Xero, Odoo, Business Central, sevDesk, e-conomic, Lexware Office, Sage Accounting, FreeAgent and Holded, plus DATEV export, CSV, the API and archive copies in Google Drive, Google Sheets or OneDrive. Dost's current positioning centres on configured mid-market and enterprise ERP workflows.

Dost vs Tailride pricing (verified August 18, 2026)
Dost does not publish numeric plan prices or a public pricing table on dost.io. Its official FAQ says the best plan depends on invoice volume and the number of employees managing the process, and directs prospective customers to sales@dost.io. Treat prices from its retired website as outdated.
Tailride is free for 10 invoices per month. Starter is $19 per month or $158 per year for 75 invoices per month and 2 connected inboxes. Growth is $49 per month or $408 per year for 350 invoices and 8 inboxes; Scale is $99 or $825 for 750 and 20; Premium is $199 or $1,658 for 1,500 with unlimited inboxes. Every plan includes unlimited supplier portals, unlimited bank reconciliation and unlimited users.
A worked example
For 150 supplier invoices per month, Tailride Growth publishes a price of $49 per month, or $408 per year, with capacity for 350 invoices, 8 connected inboxes, unlimited supplier portals, unlimited bank reconciliation and unlimited users. Dost requires a sales quote, so a valid cost comparison needs its subscription, implementation, ERP integration and support costs in writing.
