Dull vs BILL
Software your team runs, or a done-for-you service that does the work.
BILL is software for accounts payable and accounts receivable. It helps your team pay bills and send invoices faster. Dull is a done-for-you service, not software: our team sends your invoices, chases overdue accounts by email and enters your bills for you, in your own systems. A person checks every exception, and you approve anything involving money.
The real question is who does the work. With BILL, someone on your team still runs it. With Dull, we do.

How BILL works
BILL gives your team one place to receive bills, route them for approval and pay them, and to send invoices and collect payments by ACH or card. Higher plans add two-way sync with accounting software and more approval controls. It is priced per user, so cost grows with the number of people who use it.
How Dull works
- You send the work: invoices to raise, bills, overdue accounts.
- We do it in your systems, including BILL if you already have it. We use AI for the routine parts.
- A person checks every exception. Nothing is guessed.
- You approve anything involving money. We never make payments.
You get a report every Friday. Most businesses are live in about a week.
Which to choose
Choose BILL if you have someone with time to run AP and AR every day and you want better software for them.
Choose Dull if nobody has that time, the seat is empty, or you’d rather not hire for it. We do the work instead.
Use both if you already pay for BILL. Dull can do the entry inside it, and your team just approves.
More on this choice: AR software or an AR service?
Month to month, stop any month. A first week where you approve everything before we take over.
