The short answer
Buy Kofax Buy Tungsten Automation, the company you knew as Kofax, if invoices are one of several document-heavy processes you need automated and you want one classification and extraction engine behind all of them. TotalAgility is an intelligent document processing platform first and an AP tool second, and that is the right trade when claims, contracts, onboarding packs and invoices all land in the same mailroom.
Skip it if your brief is accounts payable and nothing else, because you would be buying a platform and paying platform implementation costs for a workflow a mid-market AP tool will deliver faster. Skip it too if you need any kind of published price to start a business case, since there is no pricing page at all, and skip it if you expected the Kofax name on the contract: the catalogue, the site and the branding have all moved.
Where Kofax fits
The first thing to settle is which company you are buying from. Kofax now trades as Tungsten Automation and the slug points at tungstenautomation.com. The catalogue there spans four lines: AP and AR automation, document and workflow automation, print and workplace automation, and PDF and eSignature. Only the first of those is accounts payable, and the AP-relevant product names are Pay+, InvoiceAgility+ and TotalAgility. If your procurement team is searching for a Kofax quote, they are looking at the right company under a new name, and they should ask for those products by name so they are not quoted print management.
TotalAgility is the engine and it explains the fit. Its job is to turn unstructured content into trusted data: classify documents, extract fields, then orchestrate the work across people and systems and report on what was processed. An invoice is one document type among many to a platform built that way, which is why Tungsten sells into regulated, high-volume environments and claims more than 25,000 global businesses, eight of the top ten banks and nine of the ten largest logistics companies worldwide by its own count. It was also named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Intelligent Document Processing, its second year in that report.
InvoiceAgility+ is the AP-shaped layer on top, and its pitch is role-based rather than feature-based. The product presents different views for an AP processor, an AP manager and a CFO: a work queue with exceptions for the processor, purchase order matching and price mismatch review in the middle, and a cash position view at the top. If your AP team's real complaint is that everyone works in the same undifferentiated queue and the CFO asks for a number nobody can produce, that framing is the argument.
Pay+ is the newest piece and the one to scrutinise commercially, because it moves Tungsten into the payment flow. It is positioned between approved invoices and the ERP ledger: invoice intelligence drives payment orchestration, controls verify and route the payment, and the ledger is synced back. That is a different kind of product from document processing, with different questions attached, so ask who holds the banking relationship, whether payment execution carries per-transaction fees, and what the controls actually prevent.
Where the fit breaks is the small and mid-market end. This is enterprise software usually delivered with a services engagement or a partner, sold on a demo request rather than a trial, and the database records it as available both in the cloud and on-premise, which is itself a sign of the installed base you are joining. A finance team of six that wants bills approved on a phone is not the buyer. A shared service centre processing several document types across several entities is.
Kofax pricing
No price is published for any of the AP products, and the site does not even offer a pricing page to read. Checked on 16 October 2026, https://www.tungstenautomation.com/pricing, /pricing/ and /plans each returned HTTP 404, the homepage returned 200, and a second pull with full browser headers returned a page titled "Sorry, this page is not available." The call to action across the site is "See us in action", which is a demo request. One point of clarification matters here, because it misleads people every week: the Tungsten sitemap does carry buy-now pages for the Power PDF desktop product, and those prices are not AP automation prices. A desktop PDF licence tells you nothing about an invoice automation contract, so no figure from that line is recorded on this page.
Four things set the number, and the first is a scoping question rather than a commercial one.
- Which product the quote covers. Pay+, InvoiceAgility+ and TotalAgility are marketed as separate products, and the wider catalogue includes print management and PDF software that has nothing to do with payables. Ask for each AP product named explicitly on the order form with its modules listed, and ask what the other two would cost later, because a platform sale has a habit of becoming a phased one.
- Document and invoice volume. Intelligent document processing is almost always metered, and Tungsten publishes nothing about how it meters. Get the unit in writing, whether that is per document, per page, per invoice, per user or per named role, along with the included volume, the price of the next block, and whether unused volume carries over or expires.
- Deployment shape. TotalAgility has long been sold both as software you run and as a cloud service, and the database records this product as available cloud or on-premise. Ask whether the quote is a subscription, a perpetual licence with annual maintenance, or a hosted service, and ask what the renewal uplift looks like in each case, because those three shapes behave very differently in year three.
- Integration depth and payment execution. Pay+ sits between approved invoices and the ERP ledger, so ask what the ERP connector costs, who builds and maintains it, and whether payment orchestration carries per-payment fees on top of the software. A platform quote that silently assumes a partner-delivered integration is a quote with a second invoice attached.
What is likely to be a separate line
- No add-on prices are published. Pay+, InvoiceAgility+ and TotalAgility are marketed as separate products, so assume each is its own line until the quote says otherwise.
- Implementation services. This is enterprise document and workflow software usually delivered with a services engagement or through a partner, and no fee is published, so ask for a scoped statement of work beside the licence quote.
- Payment execution fees, if you buy Pay+. Confirm whether moving money carries per-transaction costs and who the banking counterparty is, because that answer changes the shape of the whole comparison.
Implementation and commercial terms
There is no pricing page, so these rows record what the rest of the site confirms as of 16 October 2026 and, deliberately, what it does not.
- Published price
- None. Pricing URLs returned 404 on 16 October 2026
- Vendor name
- Tungsten Automation, formerly Kofax
- AP products
- Pay+, InvoiceAgility+ and TotalAgility
- Pricing metric
- Not published. Ask for the unit, the included volume and the overage
- Deployment
- Sold both as a cloud service and to run yourself, so confirm which the quote assumes
- Implementation fee
- None published. Expect a services engagement or a partner
- Free trial
- None listed for the AP products. The call to action is a demo request
- Power PDF prices
- Published, and deliberately excluded here: a desktop PDF product is not AP automation
Budget this as two numbers and insist the quote shows both: the software, metered on a unit you have agreed in writing, and the services engagement that makes it work, scoped as a statement of work rather than folded into one figure. Then ask the deployment question early, because a perpetual licence with maintenance and a cloud subscription produce very different three-year totals and the renewal uplift is where the difference lands. With nothing published, the only honest comparison is against vendors that do publish, so set BILL's per-user rates and Tipalti's starting platform fee next to the quote as a floor, and treat the gap as the price of the platform rather than as a reason to dismiss either.

What Kofax gives up
You give up the brand continuity your internal documents assume. Kofax is retired as a trading name, and anything in your archive referring to a Kofax contract, a Kofax support agreement or a Kofax roadmap now needs translating. That matters practically in procurement: ask for Pay+, InvoiceAgility+ or TotalAgility by name, confirm which legal entity you are contracting with, and check that your existing support arrangements have been novated rather than assumed.
You give up any price anchor whatsoever. There is no pricing page, no starting figure and no published metric, so the first number you see is the only number you have. The published Power PDF prices are worse than useless here, because a reader who finds them assumes they are relevant and they are not. Run a competitive process, and get the multi-year discount and the renewal mechanism agreed in the first contract rather than the second.
You give up speed and self-service. There is no free trial, no sandbox and no self-serve signup for the AP products: the route in is a demo. An intelligent document processing platform also takes real configuration before it is accurate on your document set, so the version you see in a demo is not the version you will run. Insist on a proof of concept scored on your own documents, with a number you both agree counts as a pass.
You give up the simplicity of a single-purpose AP tool. The catalogue spans AP and AR, document and workflow automation, print management and PDF software, which means the sales conversation is broad and the product you need is one slice of it. Breadth is the reason to buy a platform, and it is also a tax: more configuration, more training, a longer project, and features your AP team will never open. A mid-market AP tool with unlimited users will beat this on time to value every time.
You give up clarity about payments. Pay+ puts Tungsten in the payment path, and nothing published says what that costs, who the money transmitter is, or what the controls guarantee. If payment orchestration is the reason you are interested, that is the part of the quote to interrogate hardest, and a vendor whose pricing page does not exist should expect to answer those questions in writing.
How Kofax compares
What a vendor publishes before a sales call tells you how much of your evaluation is modelling and how much is negotiation. BILL publishes full per-user rates and Tipalti a starting platform fee, both checked on 25 September 2026. Tungsten Automation has no pricing page at all, and Basware names no plan and no figure either. Every price cell below comes from that vendor's own pricing page and nothing is estimated.
| Tool | Best for | Price | Where it breaks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kofax (Tungsten Automation) | Enterprises automating invoices alongside other document-heavy processes on one extraction platform | Not published, quote only after a demo | No pricing page, no published metric, and a platform project rather than an AP rollout |
| Basware | Multinational groups where e-invoicing mandates and VAT compliance are the main risk | Not published, quote only, with no named tiers | Modules are priced separately and nothing anchors the first quote |
| BILL | QuickBooks and Xero teams who want AP live in days against a published price | $49, $65 or $89 per user/month | Every approver costs a full seat below the top tier, and there is no document platform underneath |
| Tipalti | Cross-border payouts with unlimited users and payee tax compliance | From $99/month (AP), from $249/month (Mass Payments) | Per-invoice and per-payment fees are not published, so the real bill cannot be modelled |
What to test in a Tungsten Automation demo
No trial is listed for the AP products, so this is a demo and then a scored proof of concept. Because nothing is published commercially, use the process to settle three things: accuracy on your documents, the metric you will be billed on, and who does the implementation.
- Bring a document set, not an invoice. The platform's claim is classification and extraction across unstructured content, so test it on the mix you actually receive: purchase-order and non-purchase-order invoices, a statement, a remittance advice and whatever arrives as a photographed scan. Agree in advance what accuracy counts as a pass and measure it on your own documents.
- Make them show the three roles in InvoiceAgility+. Ask to see the AP processor queue with real exceptions, the manager view handling a price mismatch against a purchase order, and the CFO view, and ask what each role is permitted to change. Role-based separation is the product's own argument, so make it demonstrate the controls rather than the dashboards.
- Walk the Pay+ path end to end if payments are in scope. Approved invoice, verification, routing, execution, ledger sync back to the ERP. Ask what the controls block, who holds the banking relationship, and whether per-payment fees apply, and get those answers in writing rather than in a slide.
- Pin the metric and the deployment in the first commercial call. Ask for the billing unit, the included volume, the overage rate and whether volume carries over, then ask whether the quote is a cloud subscription, a perpetual licence with maintenance, or a hosted service, and what renewal looks like under each.
- Separate licence from services and name the products on the order form. Get the software quote and a scoped statement of work as two numbers, confirm who builds and maintains the ERP connector, and have Pay+, InvoiceAgility+ or TotalAgility written down by name so nobody later discovers they bought a different part of the catalogue.
Frequently asked questions about Kofax
How much does Kofax AP automation cost?
No price is published. Kofax is now Tungsten Automation, and on 16 October 2026 tungstenautomation.com had no pricing page: the usual pricing URLs returned HTTP 404 and a retry returned a page saying it is not available. Cost is quoted per product, volume and deployment after a demo.
Is Kofax still called Kofax?
No. The business trades as Tungsten Automation and its site is tungstenautomation.com. The AP-relevant products there are Pay+, InvoiceAgility+ and TotalAgility, as seen on 16 October 2026. Buyers searching for Kofax pricing are looking at the right company under a new name, and should ask for those products by name.
Does Tungsten Automation publish any prices?
Not for AP automation. Its sitemap does list buy-now pages for the Power PDF desktop product, which is a separate product line, and those figures are deliberately excluded here. A desktop PDF licence price tells you nothing about an invoice automation contract or an intelligent document processing platform.
What is Tungsten Pay+?
A payment orchestration product that sits between approved invoices and the ERP ledger. Invoice data drives the payment, controls verify and route it, and the ledger is synced back. Because it puts the vendor in the payment path, ask whether execution carries per-transaction fees and who holds the banking relationship.
What is TotalAgility?
Tungsten's intelligent document processing platform: it classifies documents, extracts data, orchestrates the resulting work across people and systems, and reports on what was processed. Invoices are one document type among many to it, which is why it suits shared service centres handling several document-heavy processes rather than AP alone.
What is InvoiceAgility+?
The AP-facing layer, organised by role rather than by feature. An AP processor gets an invoice work queue with exception handling, an AP manager gets purchase order matching and price mismatch review, and a CFO gets a cash view. Ask in a demo what each role is permitted to change, not just what it can see.
Is there a free trial of Kofax AP automation?
No trial is listed for the AP products. The site's call to action is "See us in action", which is a demo request. Because an extraction platform needs configuration before it is accurate on your document mix, ask for a scored proof of concept on your own documents instead of relying on the demo.
Is it cloud or on-premise?
Both are available, and the answer changes your commercials. TotalAgility has long been sold as software you run and as a cloud service. Ask whether the quote is a subscription, a perpetual licence with annual maintenance, or a hosted service, and what the renewal uplift is under each shape.
How is Tungsten Automation billed?
No metric is published. Intelligent document processing is usually metered, so ask whether you are billed per document, per page, per invoice, per user or per named role, what volume the quote includes, what the next block costs, and whether unused volume carries over or expires.
What are the main alternatives for AP automation?
For enterprise compliance-led AP, Basware competes directly and also publishes no figure. For mid-market AP with unlimited users, Medius and Rillion are the closer comparison. If you want a published rate to anchor the business case, BILL publishes per-user prices and Tipalti a starting platform fee.
