Centime supports line-by-line GL coding, so you can split costs across departments, allocate accurately, and eliminate tedious journal entries.

Stampli only allows header-level coding, forcing manual workarounds for complex invoices.

Centime gives you full control with rule-based workflows, AI fallback, and a clear audit trail, so invoices always go where they need to, fast.

Stampli approvals rely on limited AI logic unless you pay for rules-based routing — and even then, visibility is restricted.

Explore Centime’s customizable AP workflows.
Centime keeps payments embedded in your workflow — ACH, check, and wire — all in-platform, with approvals, execution, and reconciliation in one place.

Stampli sends you to a separate tool to process payments, creating a broken, disconnected experience.

Centime lets you pay vendors even without an invoice, so your AP team isn’t blocked by rigid, invoice-first rules.

Stampli requires a finalized invoice to make a payment, limiting flexibility for prepayments, deposits, or recurring fees.

Built for Forward Thinking Strategic Finance Teams

Stampli solves a narrow slice of the AP process — but when your business needs more than invoice approvals, it starts to fall short. Without native ERP integration, multi-line invoice support, or embedded payments, workflows get fragmented fast. There’s no built-in forecasting, no AR, and no way to scale your financial operations from a single platform.

Centime changes that. We offer true ERP integration, end-to-end payment automation, and the flexibility to manage AP, AR, and cash flow in one place — all backed by fast implementation and real human support.

More Than AP: A Platform for the Entire Finance Function

Today’s finance leaders aren’t just paying bills — they’re driving decisions. But when AP, AR, forecasting, and finance automation live in separate tools, your team is stuck reconciling systems instead of optimizing outcomes.

Centime centralizes your core finance workflows right inside your ERP — so your team can stop chasing data and start leading with it. One platform. One login. One place to manage payables, receivables, and real-time cash flow.

FAQs for the Stampli Comparison Page

Is Centime the right fit for my business?

Centime is designed for strategic finance teams that want more than basic invoice approvals. It’s built for businesses looking to streamline their payables, receivables, and cash flow forecasting in one place — all fully embedded in your ERP. If you’re ready to move beyond point solutions and want to eliminate duplicate data, lag, and IT headaches, Centime is the right fit for you. Plus, it scales with your growth, adapting to your evolving needs.

How does Centime compare to Stampli for AP automation?

While both Centime and Stampli automate AP, Centime goes far beyond. It eliminates the need for third-party connectors by integrating directly with ERPs like NetSuite and Sage Intacct, ensuring real-time data flow and no duplication.

Centime also supports multi-line invoice coding, embedded payment processing, and fully customizable workflows, all within your ERP. Stampli, on the other hand, requires middleware to connect and often sends you to separate tools for payments and approvals, creating a fragmented experience. Centime gives you everything in one platform.

How do Centime’s ERP integrations differ from Stampli’s?

Centime connects directly to your ERP without relying on external middleware. This means your data stays consistent and up to date in real-time, with no extra IT burden. Stampli requires middleware tools like Dell Boomi or Celigo, which can introduce delays and duplications.

Centime’s deep integrations also support advanced features like multi-line invoice coding and embedded payments, making it much easier to manage AP in complex environments.

Does Centime support AR automation too?

Yes, Centime isn’t just for AP. It also includes AR automation features, helping you collect payments faster and improve cash flow visibility.

With AR and AP both in one system, your team can work more strategically — managing receivables, payables, and forecasting together to drive smarter decisions.

Can I use Centime for just AP or AR?

Definitely. Centime is modular, so you can start with AP or AR only and expand when you’re ready. Many businesses begin with AP automation to eliminate manual tasks and then add AR automation and cash flow forecasting as they grow. This flexibility means you get the right fit for your team today — and a platform that grows with you.

How long does it take to switch from Stampli to Centime?

Most customers complete their Centime onboarding in 7 to 21 days. Our team handles the heavy lifting, including real-time ERP integration and data migration. You’ll also get high-touch support and personalized training to make sure your switch is smooth and your team is ready to go from day one.

What makes Centime different from AP point solutions like Stampli?

Centime is more than AP automation — it’s a unified finance automation platform. Unlike Stampli, which relies on external tools and middleware, Centime integrates directly with your ERP for real-time visibility and seamless workflows. It supports everything from multi-line invoice coding to embedded payments, AR automation, and cash flow forecasting.

This means you get end-to-end automation, not just a piece of the puzzle — all in one login, with no patchwork of disconnected tools.
