freee Accounting AI features and pricing (October 2026)

freee Accounting is a Japanese cloud accounting service for sole proprietors, small companies and midsize firms. It reads documents with AI, proposes journal entries from learned patterns and covers invoicing, expenses and reporting in one system.

freee Accounting combines journal entry, invoicing, spend management, fixed assets, management reporting and consolidated accounting across several companies. freee K.K. also sells payroll, sales and e-signature products that share the same data. The vendor names 710,000 paying customers as of March 2026, a figure that includes sole proprietors, and targets companies from one employee to more than 300.

The product is built around Japanese rules: it supports the qualified invoice system introduced in 2023 and storage under the Electronic Bookkeeping Act, and freee offers a SOC 1 Type 2 report for companies preparing for J-SOX audits.

• Reads receipts and invoicesUsers upload receipts, invoices or statements, and AI text recognition reads the content and creates journal entries. Finance staff check the result instead of typing amounts, dates and partners by hand.
• Suggests journal entriesfreee combines fully automatic postings with AI guesses that a person confirms. The vendor states that the learning function becomes more precise the more the system is used, which reduces repetitive coding of recurring transactions.
• Maps accounts from statementsWhen financial statement documents are scanned, AI assigns the lines to the matching accounts. This helps when an accountant takes over prior-year figures and would otherwise map every item by hand.
• Runs tasks from chatfreee AI connects the products to an external generative AI service through the Model Context Protocol and more than 380 freee APIs. Staff give instructions in a chat, and the agent carries out the work across accounting, HR, sales, invoicing and contracts.

• Public monthly plans from ¥5,480 excluding tax with a 30-day free trial and no setup fee.
• Built for Japanese requirements such as the qualified invoice system, electronic bookkeeping storage and J-SOX, with a SOC 1 Type 2 report.
• Accounting, payroll, sales and e-signature products from one vendor share the same data.

freee is a Japanese company and reports 710,000 paying customers including sole proprietors (March 2026) and, by its own account, a 56.3 percent share of Japanese cloud accounting.

freee Accounting follows Japanese accounting and tax rules, so it fits a Japanese entity or subsidiary rather than a European ledger. The product pages we checked in September 2026 describe a Japanese interface; ask which screens are available in English for your users before you buy. Hosting location and SSO terms are not stated on the public pages. freee AI needs a separate generative AI subscription, so clarify with IT which provider may receive accounting data.
