WickedFile vs BILL
Which Is Right for Your Auto Repair Shop?
Your shop processed hundreds of parts invoices last month. Somewhere in that stack, you're losing money, overcharges, missing cores, pricing errors. The question isn't whether to automate AP. It's whether your solution understands auto repair.
AI-powered AP reconciliation purpose-built for auto repair. Matches every part on every invoice to every repair order. Catches overcharges, missing credits, and pricing errors before you pay.
General-purpose financial operations platform for SMBs across all industries. Strong AP/AR automation, vendor payment network, and corporate card offerings. Integrates with major accounting systems.
Invoice Processing and AP Automation
Both platforms use AI to extract data from invoices and automate approval workflows. BILL excels at general AP automation, capturing invoice data, routing for approval, and scheduling payments across any industry.
WickedFile goes deeper for auto repair. It doesn't just read your invoices, it matches every part number to the repair order it was purchased for, flags pricing discrepancies against your matrix, and catches missing core credits before you pay.
Reconciliation and Profit Protection
BILL's reconciliation focuses on matching payments to invoices and syncing with your accounting software. Standard financial reconciliation that works across industries.
WickedFile runs continuous AI-powered reconciliation across your invoices, repair orders, and vendor statements simultaneously - replacing the manual cross-referencing that eats up hours of your back-office team's week. It flags missed core credits, duplicate charges, unmatched line items, and pricing discrepancies automatically. It even identifies patterns that could indicate internal theft.
Integrations
BILL connects to 100+ accounting, ERP, and financial platforms, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage, Oracle, and more. Its vendor payment network lets you pay suppliers directly through the platform.
WickedFile integrates with the shop management systems your business actually runs on, Tekmetric, Fullbay, Shop-Ware, RO Writer, Protractor, Mitchell 1 plus accounting tools like QuickBooks. Every integration is tuned for auto repair data flows.

No. BILL processes invoices but cannot match parts to repair orders, track cores, or catch pricing discrepancies specific to auto repair workflows.
No. WickedFile integrates with QuickBooks, Sage and other accounting systems. It handles reconciliation before invoices reach your books.
For 5 locations with 3 back-office users on Team plan: $195/mo base + transaction fees. WickedFile is $299/mo flat with no per-user or transaction fees.
Technically, yes. If you already use BILL for vendor payments, WickedFile sits alongside it — handling the reconciliation, profit protection, and process standardization that BILL doesn't cover. But in practice, WickedFile quickly becomes the system that verifies everything before your team pays it, replacing hours of manual cross-referencing with a consistent, repeatable workflow. Most auto repair shops don't need a separate AP tool once they have WickedFile. WickedFile's roadmap includes vendor payment capabilities, which would consolidate both functions into a single auto-repair-specific platform. But you don't need to wait for that to see value.
Stop Paying Bills You Haven’t Verified
Every invoice your shop pays without proper reconciliation is a gamble.
