FloQast vs Numeric: SOX packages against flux analysis on live data

This is the real mid-market close fight and the two products are closer in size than in design. FloQast's structure is the checklist plus reconciliations against the trial balance, with rollforwards and journal entry automation, and SOX packages sold next to the close products. Numeric's structure is the checklist plus reconciliations plus flux analysis and transaction monitors running on live ERP data.

FloQast's own alternatives material names Numeric's differentiator accurately: Numeric builds its close product around flux analysis and transaction monitors on live ERP data, which suits NetSuite teams that report variances every month. Numeric's material returns the compliment by naming FloQast's SOX packages as the reason buyers choose it. Both are describing the same fork.

FloQast is close management software: the close checklist and reconciliations tied to the ERP trial balance, rollforwards and journal entry automation, with SOX 404a and 404b packages next to the close products. Numeric is close management software: the close checklist, reconciliations, flux analysis and transaction monitors on live ERP data, with cash matching and journal entry automation in Cash Management. That overlap is real, which is why the two end up on the same shortlist, but the design assumptions underneath differ.

Keep FloQast on the list if this is you: mid-market and enterprise controllers who own both the close and SOX. Drop it if this is closer: a team whose matching volume has outgrown a checklist-led tool. The limitation worth naming up front is that six quote-based packages make scoping slow, and the highest matching volumes are where buyers also look at enterprise platforms.

Keep Numeric on the list if this is you: NetSuite-based teams whose monthly pain is flux analysis and reconciliation evidence. Drop it if this is closer: a multi-ERP group, or a team that needs SOX testing in the same product. Its own limitation is that SOX packages are not among its four products, and the ERP Replacement roadmap is a bigger change than a close tool buyer may want.

The ERP constraint is one-sided. Numeric's integrations centre on NetSuite, and its own material says SAP-based or multi-ERP groups should confirm support early. FloQast ties to the ERP trial balance more broadly. If you are not on NetSuite, settle that question with named references before you compare anything else.

The table below carries the facts you can check without a sales call: pricing model, deployment, platform support and trial access. Read it before the demos, then use the sections underneath for the parts that depend on your own environment.

Both are quote-only with no listed trial, so the price and trial rows are blank for both. ERP coverage is the row that decides this pair.

Neither vendor publishes a price, so the only honest comparison is of what drives each quote. There are no dollar figures to put side by side below, and that is the finding rather than a gap in the research: both vendors' own pages were read on 25 September 2026 and neither carries a price.

FloQast publishes no prices. Its pricing page lists six packages, from Close Optimization to FloQast Transform, all behind Contact Sales, and states there are no per-user fees. Trial: No free trial is listed on the pricing page.

Numeric publishes no prices. Its pricing page lists four products and says price is based on factors such as transaction count and number of seats. Trial: No free trial is listed on the pricing page.

The pricing models differ in a way worth modelling out. FloQast states there are no per-user fees, so adding accountants does not move the bill, but it sells six packages and reporting, consolidation and the AI agent packages cost extra on top of the close products. Numeric prices four products on factors including transaction count and number of seats.

That means growth hits them differently. Headcount growth is free on FloQast and priced on Numeric; transaction volume growth is the reverse of what most buyers assume. Model both against your own trajectory, and use the accounting software ROI calculator to test whether the close case stands up on its own before the compliance case is added.

What moves the FloQast number: six packages scoped separately: Close Optimization, Close Automation, Connected Compliance, Compliance Pro, FloQast Reporting and FloQast Transform. Reporting, consolidation and the AI agent packages cost extra on top of the close products. For Numeric: four products priced separately: Close Management & Analytics, Cash Management, Billing & Revenue and ERP Replacement, with transaction count and seat count as the stated inputs. Ask both vendors to put the first-year total in writing, license plus services plus any module you would need in year two, and model it yourself with the accounting software ROI calculator before the renewal conversation rather than after it.

Rollout on FloQast: aimed at controllers rather than IT, so the project is usually owned inside accounting. On Numeric: integrations centre on NetSuite, so SAP-based or multi-ERP groups should confirm support before scoping. That is the difference that shows up in the project plan rather than in the demo.

Both are controller-owned projects rather than IT projects, which is the main reason either beats an enterprise platform on time to value. The practical difference is scope: FloQast's six packages take longer to scope, and Numeric's four products can be adopted one at a time.

Numeric's ERP Replacement product deserves an explicit question. It means Numeric can become the system of record module by module, which its own material acknowledges is a large change that close-tool buyers may not want. Ask whether anything in the first contract assumes it. If matching volume turns out to be the real problem, the BlackLine and FloQast comparison is the next page to read.

Plan the first close or first cycle after go-live before you sign. Write down who owns configuration changes, who answers an auditor's question about the records, and what happens to your data if you leave. Starting from a flux analysis template makes those answers concrete instead of aspirational.
