What you are buying
Threewayly: A record of the match, the exceptions and the approvals
A full AP automation suite: An end-to-end platform: capture, workflow, integration and payment execution
The AP manager, financial controller or finance operations lead who owns paying suppliers and is measured on invoices processed, exceptions cleared and not paying twiceNot a marketer automating campaigns, not an IT team buying an RPA platform as a technology, not an HR team automating timesheets, and not somebody looking for an accountant
Automation of accounting process, costed from your own invoices
Threewayly is for the person who owns accounts payable: the supplier invoice that arrives, the purchase order and goods receipt it has to agree with, the exception when it does not, and the approval that ends in a payment. The worksheets on this site cost that process from your own volumes and your own rates, on the page, with no account, so you can size the job before deciding whether software is worth paying for.
Threewayly Pro is $29 per month for the whole team, billed monthly.

Match, except, approve
Payables is one process, and it is a record problem in the middle
- The match
- Every invoice against its order and its receipt, with the answer kept The three-way match is the check the whole process exists to perform, and in most teams its result lives nowhere: it happens in somebody's head, once, and the next person asking has to do it again from the documents.
- Exceptions
- The ones that fail, with the reason attached to the invoice An exception without its reason is just a stuck invoice, and a stuck invoice is chased by email. Holding the reason against the record is what turns a queue somebody works into a queue somebody can measure.
- The trail
- Who approved it, when, and what they were looking at The approval trail is the thing an auditor asks for and the thing a duplicate payment argument turns on. Reconstructing it from inboxes months later is expensive; keeping it as it happens costs nothing.

Should you just buy an AP automation suite?
If you are replacing the whole payables stack, with capture, an ERP integration, supplier portals and payment execution in one purchase, buy a suite and give it the implementation project it needs. Threewayly is for the team that already has an ERP and a process, wants the match, the exceptions and the approvals held as a record, and is not running a procurement exercise to get it.
How it starts
Threewayly: You open it and enter your first invoice; the free worksheets need no account at all
A full AP automation suite: An implementation, usually with scoping, an ERP integration and supplier onboarding
How it is priced
Threewayly: $29 per month for the whole team, billed monthly, cancel from your account page
A full AP automation suite: Quoted per organisation, commonly per invoice volume or per seat, on an annual contract
What it does not do
Threewayly: It does not execute payments, integrate with your ERP, or onboard your suppliers
A full AP automation suite: Covers those, at a depth a team of a few payables people rarely needs on day one
No competitor price is stated here, deliberately: AP automation suites are quoted per organisation against invoice volume rather than published, so any figure would be invented. This hub's own price is the one figure on the page, and it is an estimate recorded in research/data/saas-products.tsv (basis: estimated) rather than a benchmark against a published tier.
The answer is yours. Keeping it is Threewayly Pro.
Upgrading turns the worksheets into the record. Every invoice arrives as a document with a supplier, an amount and a status; every match either clears or becomes an exception with its reason attached; every approval is stamped with a name and a date. Export is always available, so the ledger is yours whether or not you stay.
