What Digits got right
A better category is good for everyone in it — Digits pushed it forward.
what digits got right
It proved the category
Digits helped prove that an AI-native ledger is not a gimmick but the future of accounting. That conviction is exactly the bet maaya.works is making — we are glad we are not the only ones.
what digits got right
It raised the design bar
Digits showed that finance software can be genuinely beautiful and clear. That standard pushes everyone in the category, ourselves included, to do better work.
what digits got right
It reimagined the work
Rather than digitising old workflows, Digits rethought what accounting software should do in an AI world. maaya.works shares that instinct — and takes it beyond the books.
The real difference
Same conviction, a different world
Where two believers in the AI ledger genuinely diverge.
01
Built for India, not adapted to it
GST, HSN, TDS, e-invoicing, INR and India data residency are native to maaya.works — not a localisation of a US-first product. For an Indian business, that is the difference between fitting and forcing.
built for the US → built for India
02
Beyond the books
maaya.works does not stop at accounting. The same approve-first AI model extends to an AI workforce that can take on work across the business — sales follow-ups, operations and more over time.
an AI accountant → an AI workforce
03
Free to start, for the smallest first
maaya.works is free forever for single users, so the smallest Indian business can begin today. The AI-ledger future should not be reserved for the well-funded.
paid from day one → free to start
No spin
Where Digits still wins
Said plainly, peer to peer.
scale
Maturity and scale
Digits is established, well-funded and serving a large US base. maaya.works is newer and earlier in its journey — if proven scale is decisive for you, that is an honest point for Digits.
us market
Built for the US
If your business is American, Digits is built for your market and rails. maaya.works is built for India; we would not pretend to serve a US business better than Digits does.
integrations
Deep US fintech links
Years of US banking and fintech integrations give Digits real depth there. maaya.works integrates with Indian rails and is growing that surface.
Honest advice: if you are a US business, Digits is built for you. If you are an Indian business who believes in the AI-ledger future, maaya.works is the one built for here.

Straight answers
maaya.works vs Digits — common questions
Is maaya.works just a Digits clone for India?
We share a conviction — AI-native accounting on a trustworthy ledger — and we respect Digits for proving it. But maaya.works is built India-first (GST, e-invoice, INR, India-hosted) and goes beyond books to an AI workforce. Same bet, different world.
I am in India. Why choose maaya.works over Digits?
Digits is built for the US market and rails. maaya.works is built for India — native GST, HSN, TDS and e-invoicing, INR pricing, and data hosted in India — designed around how Indian businesses and CAs actually work.
What does "beyond the books" mean?
The same approve-first AI model that keeps your books extends to an AI workforce that can take on more work across the business over time — not just accounting. AI proposes, you approve, on an immutable record.
Should a US business use maaya.works?
Honestly, probably not today — maaya.works is built for India. If your business is American, Digits is built for your market and likely the better fit.
Is it really free to start?
Free forever for single users, no card to begin. You pay only as you add AI-hires and grow.
