Tofu is a strong AI extraction tool for accounting firms. Sumext extracts too — then adds the contractor, expense and time workflows Tofu doesn't have, and connects to TallyPrime, which Tofu can't.
Where Tofu is strong: deep line-item extraction, 200+ languages including handwriting, and flat pricing with unlimited users. If pure extraction across many clients is all you need, it's a capable tool.
Where Sumext goes further: your contractors and staff feed the books directly, you track billable time in the same place, you capture on WhatsApp, and you can post to TallyPrime — none of which Tofu offers — starting at $19/mo.
