Upflow is accounts receivable software for mid-sized B2B companies, with a focus on the US market. It organizes collections, customer payments and cash application and adds AI agents that run outreach, match payments and report on customer payment health.

Key functions

• Insights Agent assesses customer health, cash forecasts and benchmarks
• Collections Agent runs multi-channel outreach grounded in receivables history
• Cash Application Agent matches complex payments

Compared with Quadient AR

• Targets companies under 50 employees, which Quadient AR does not.
• Strong in the same markets as Quadient AR: United States, France.

Check before buying: Check which plan includes the agents you need, since the Collections and AP Portal agents start at Scale and cash application at Accelerate. Single sign-on is limited to Accelerate and Enterprise. Confirm that your accounting system is on the integration list for your plan; NetSuite and Sage Intacct start at Grow. The data protection addendum is published in the help center; ask which hosting region applies, since the privacy policy names processing in the United States and France.

Key functions

• Targets companies under 50 employees, which Quadient AR does not.
• Different pricing model: usage-based instead of contact for pricing.

Check before buying: Data is processed in the United States, and Lunos relies on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses for transfers, so European buyers should request a data processing agreement. The agents write to your customers in your name, so agree on tone, approval rules and escalation. SSO is limited to the Enterprise plan, and ERP connectors differ by plan.

Multi-entity and international support are add-ons, which affects the price.
