BlackLine plans, side by side

What the product covers
The full BlackLine feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Account reconciliation
- Risk based certification
- Journal entry management
- Close task management
- Transaction matching
- Intercompany
- Variance analysis
- Evidence attachment
- Audit access
- ERP connectors
- Segregation of duties
- Close reporting
People bring BlackLine in for a listed company whose external auditors have raised findings about reconciliation evidence and reviewer sign off, a group with dozens of entities where the close depends on someone chasing spreadsheets by email every month, a finance team matching very high volumes of bank or payment processor transactions that no longer fit in a workbook, an organisation trying to shorten a close that runs past working day ten and cannot see where the time goes. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to BlackLine are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for BlackLine
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare BlackLine against the tools that do have one before committing.
BlackLine runs on web, and is published by BlackLine Inc of Los Angeles, CA. The full record is on the BlackLine review, and the rest of the category is under best accounting tools.
