What Paythos is
Paythos is web-based accounts-payable software that manages invoices from arrival through payment and reporting. Invoices can be captured by email, extracted, coded, checked, matched with purchase orders, approved, reconciled and included in payment runs. Supplier management, payment routing and reporting are also included. Controls can flag duplicate invoices, purchase-order mismatches, unusual values, sender concerns and changed bank details before approval. A supplier bank-detail change places a verification hold on affected workflows. Accounting integrations listed are Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreshBooks, with Modulr for UK GBP payment runs. Payment execution is available, but an authorised human must review and release every payment run; Auto Pilot cannot release payments. Plans are paid monthly: Essentials is £79.00 per month for up to 200 invoices and four users, while Professional is £199.00 per month for up to 700 invoices and ten users. Enterprise lists unlimited invoices and users, with pricing not listed.
