First, a naming note, because it causes real confusion: Keeper rebranded to Double in October 2025, and keeper.app now redirects to doublehq.com. It's the same product. (It has nothing to do with Keeper Security, the password manager, which is a different company still using the name.) With that cleared up, Client Hub and Double are both pitched at bookkeeping firms on QuickBooks Online, and they charge in exactly opposite ways — which turns out to be the whole comparison.
By the ClientBrief Team · Last updated August 2026
Client Hub charges per firm user and gives you unlimited clients. Double charges per connected client and gives you unlimited users. Nothing else in this comparison matters as much as which of those matches your firm's shape. A small team serving many small clients pays far less on Client Hub; a growing team serving fewer, larger clients pays far less on Double. On function they also differ: Client Hub is built around client communication — getting answers out of clients — while Double is built around catching errors in the ledger before close. Firms often want both jobs done, which is why some run one of each.
Client Hub and Double (formerly Keeper) pricing checked against each vendor's public pricing page.
| Client Hub | Double (formerly Keeper) | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing basis | Per firm user, unlimited clients | Per connected client, unlimited users |
| Entry price | $49/user/month (Solopreneur, annual only) | From about $10 per connected client/month |
| Higher tiers | $59 (Practice Manager) and $79 (Practice Manager Plus) per user/month annual | Roughly $25-50 per connected client/month, mix-and-match per client |
| Cost of hiring | Each new staff member adds a full seat | Free — users are unlimited |
| Cost of new clients | Free — clients are unlimited | Each connected client adds to the bill |
| Core job | Client communication — threaded client tasks, uncategorized transaction Q&A | Automated file review — catching ledger errors before close |
| Ledger integrations | QuickBooks and Xero, on the $79 Plus tier | QuickBooks Online and Xero; NetSuite and Sage Intacct on the internal finance plan |
| Notable add-on | None — all features included per tier | Tax Suite, included with a $200/month annual commitment |
Pricing verified August 2026. The crossover is worth calculating rather than guessing. A three-person firm with 10 clients: about $177/month on Client Hub Practice Manager, versus roughly $100-350/month on Double depending on tier. The same three-person firm with 50 clients: still $177/month on Client Hub, but $500-2,500/month on Double. Count your clients and your staff before comparing headline rates — the ranking flips.
Choose Client Hub if you have a long tail of clients relative to your headcount — the classic small bookkeeping practice with 40 monthly clients and three staff. Unlimited clients at a per-seat price is the right shape for that, and the QuickBooks uncategorized-transaction workflow directly attacks the thing that actually delays month-end close: waiting on client answers. Note the integration you want sits on the $79/user/month Plus tier, not the $59 base.
Choose Double if your bill would be dominated by staff seats rather than client count — a growing team serving a smaller number of substantial clients, or a firm planning to hire. Unlimited users genuinely changes the economics there. Its automated file review is also solving a different problem from Client Hub: it reads the connected ledger and surfaces errors before you close, rather than helping you extract answers from clients.
Both assume the ledger work is the bottleneck. If what actually stalls your engagements is getting documents in from clients before the work can start — onboarding paperwork, statements, year-end packages — neither tool is priced for that job, and both make clients log into a portal. ClientBrief handles document intake for $7.99/month flat, unlimited clients and unlimited users, with no client account required.
Is Keeper still called Keeper?
No. Keeper rebranded to Double in October 2025, and keeper.app redirects to doublehq.com. Many firms and comparison articles still use the old name, which is why you'll see both. It's unrelated to Keeper Security, the password manager.
Which is cheaper, Client Hub or Double?
It depends on your client-to-staff ratio, and the answer genuinely flips. Client Hub charges $49-79 per user per month with unlimited clients; Double charges roughly $10-50 per connected client per month with unlimited users. Many clients and few staff favours Client Hub. Few clients and many staff favours Double.
Do Client Hub and Double do the same thing?
No, and this is often missed because both are sold to bookkeeping firms. Client Hub is a client communication platform — threaded tasks, questions tied to specific work, and the QuickBooks uncategorized-transaction workflow. Double is a file-review and close automation tool that reads the ledger and flags errors. Client Hub helps you get answers from clients; Double helps you find problems without asking.
Can I use both Client Hub and Double?
Yes, and some firms do, because they solve adjacent problems. The obvious objection is cost: you'd be paying per user and per client simultaneously. Firms that run both usually have enough margin per client to justify it, or connect only their larger clients to Double.
Does Double require QuickBooks or Xero?
For the firm product, effectively yes — the automated file review works against a connected QuickBooks Online or Xero ledger. The separate internal finance teams plan adds NetSuite and Sage Intacct. If your clients sit on other systems, most of Double's value doesn't apply.
