SmartVault comparison

SmartVault white-label alternative when you need branded bookkeeping

SmartVault is document storage and a client portal for accounting firms, with branding that includes a branded subdomain, sign-in page and colors. It is designed to keep files organized and shared securely. HelloBooks is a ledger with a white-label layer, so the comparison is less about which is better and more about what your clients need to open.

SmartVault’s branded document portal

SmartVault’s pricing page describes a branded subdomain, a branded sign-in page and firm colors for the client portal. Plans are priced per user and carry a minimum number of users. For firms that exchange large volumes of tax documents and need retention and permission controls, that is a solid foundation.

SmartVault stores and shares documents; it does not record transactions or produce financial statements. Firms that keep bookkeeping in another product and mainly need a secure, branded filing cabinet for clients will find it well matched to that job, and there is no reason to replace it.

What HelloBooks adds by branding the ledger

HelloBooks lets clients do their accounting under your brand. The White-Label License sets your app name, logo, colors, sign-in page and document templates, and the product underneath handles AI categorization, bank reconciliation, invoicing, bills and reporting. Your team manages every client from a firm console that shows each close status.

A hellobooks.ai subdomain is ready on day one. Serving HelloBooks from your own domain, together with email that comes from your domain, is scheduled for full launch and is not yet switched on. Staff seats are not counted, because the firm license is a flat monthly fee.

Files versus figures

Think about the most common client question you receive. If it is “where do I upload this?”, a branded document portal answers it. If it is “how are we doing this month?”, clients need a ledger and reports, and branding that product keeps the answer inside your firm’s experience.

HelloBooks keeps each client on a published plan, with a firm discount on every plan and billing to clients handled by you. The firm owns the data and can export it at any time. Founding firms are being accepted now for a measured pilot.

White-label license pricing

One flat license covers your brand, unlimited staff and the firm console. Your clients stay on published HelloBooks plans, and your firm gets 20% off each one. Founding firms go live first on a firm subdomain; your own domain and email from your domain follow at full launch.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does SmartVault require a minimum number of users?
SmartVault’s pricing page, linked below, describes per-user pricing with a minimum. Check the current minimum on its site, because the figure can change and matters for smaller firms.
Can HelloBooks store client documents the way SmartVault does?
HelloBooks is built for bookkeeping records, not as a general document vault with retention policies. Firms with heavy document management needs may keep a dedicated tool and use HelloBooks for the branded ledger.
Which is quicker to put in front of clients under my brand?
Both give you a branded address early. With HelloBooks, that address is a hellobooks.ai subdomain from the start of your license, and a custom domain follows at full launch.
How does HelloBooks bill a firm with many clients?
The firm pays a flat monthly license plus each client’s published plan at a firm discount. You then invoice clients on your own terms, which lets you bundle bookkeeping software into a fixed monthly service fee if you prefer.
