Vic.ai vs. Basware

Leave Legacy AP Automation Behind.

Looking at Basware? Here’s why enterprise finance teams are choosing Vic.ai instead. 

Redirect resources to what matters most

A modern alternative to ERP-level complexity.

Basware is a well-known legacy AP solution that often requires an ERP-sized implementation. This can be complex, time-consuming, and resource-heavy. If speed, flexibility, and innovation matter, Vic.ai is the smarter choice.

With Vic.ai, you get enterprise-grade AI design specifically for accounting workflows that’s fast to deploy, easy to scale, and built to evolve. No heavy IT involvement. No rigid templates. Just agentic AI that gets smarter over time and delivers real autonomy to your AP team.

Why Vic.ai wins against Basware.

Cluttered UI = Slower Teams. Basware’s interface is busy and difficult to navigate, making it hard for users to move efficiently through key workflows. The result: more time spent clicking around, less time on high-value tasks. Vic.ai has an elegant user interface and leads the industry with chat-first, agentic solutions.

No AI guidance = More manual work Basware doesn’t offer confidence scores or predictive guidance to help users prioritize or trust the system. Without intelligent direction, teams are left to manually interpret and intervene. Vic.ai  provides easy-to-understand and highly customizable confidence scores and predictions.

Unclear implementation = Uncertain outcomes Basware can’t confidently communicate implementation timelines or costs—even at the EQS stage. That lack of transparency raises concerns about time-to-value and long-term success. Vic.ai offers clear and transparent implementation timelines and a fully-aligned GTM team to take your implementation live.

Built for the
Future of Finance

  1. Faster Time-to-Value: Because Vic.ai doesn’t rely on templates or static rules, implementation is faster, lighter, and more flexible. Most teams are up and running in weeks—not months.

  2. A Strategic Finance Partner. Vic.ai is more than AP automation. It’s a platform for the future of finance—where AI handles the busy work, and your team focuses on what matters most.

 

What about global payments & compliance?

Basware shines when it comes to global payouts and compliance. But if your finance team is focused on efficiency, scalability, and real-time decision-making, Vic.ai offers a stronger, more modern foundation.

What is automated within the Vic.ai platform?

Vic.ai isn’t just another AP tool. It’s an AI platform designed for the CFO’s office—with deep insights, full visibility, and the ability to transform your team into a data-driven powerhouse.

Can I change my plan later?

Vic.ai uses true artificial intelligence to autonomously process and approve invoices—no templates or manual workflows required. Basware relies on traditional rule-based automation, meaning it still needs human input to build and maintain processes.

Will Vic.ai replace my AP team?

No—but it will eliminate low-value manual tasks so your team can focus on exceptions, analysis, and strategy. Think of it as giving your finance team superpowers—not cutting headcount.

How long does implementation take?

Most Vic.ai customers are live in 30-60 days, with minimal IT involvement. Because our AI learns from your existing data, you don’t need to manually configure rules or templates.


What makes Vic.ai different from Basware?

Basware digitizes workflows. Vic.ai replaces them with intelligence. Our platform handles invoice intake, coding, and approval autonomously—without templates or constant human input.
