Why teams switch from Trullion to Arvexi

Why finance teams look for Trullion alternatives

Trullion has built strong brand visibility in the AI accounting space — over 56% of their referral traffic comes from ChatGPT and Gemini. Their marketing positions them as the AI-powered option, and that positioning has worked.

But positioning and product are different things. When teams evaluate Trullion's extraction in practice, they discover it requires template configuration for each document type, manual field tagging, and ongoing template maintenance. The "AI" label is accurate in a narrow sense, but the workflow still demands significant human setup.

Teams looking for alternatives want extraction that actually works without templates. That's where Arvexi differs.

Template-based vs template-free

Trullion's approach: build a template for office leases, another for equipment leases, another for amendments. Tag the fields. Test the template. Deploy it. Repeat for every new document format in your portfolio.

Arvexi's approach: upload any PDF. The AI reads the document, identifies the lease structure, extracts every relevant term, and presents the data for review. No templates. No tagging. No maintenance.

For a 50-lease portfolio with uniform document types, templates might be acceptable. For a 500-lease portfolio spanning real estate, equipment, vehicles, and IT assets across multiple formats, template maintenance becomes its own project. Arvexi eliminates that project entirely.

The government gap

Trullion does not support GASB 87 (government leases) or GASB 96 (subscription-based IT arrangements). This means state agencies, municipalities, school districts, and federal contractors cannot use Trullion for their primary compliance requirements.

Arvexi supports GASB 87 and GASB 96 alongside ASC 842, IFRS 16, and FRS 102 — all simultaneously on the same portfolio. Accounting firms serving both private and public sector clients can manage everything in one platform instead of maintaining separate tools.

Audit independence matters

Trullion does not offer a dedicated auditor portal. External auditors access the same interface as your accounting team, consuming shared user licenses.

Arvexi provides a purpose-built, read-only auditor portal where external auditors can independently verify lease data, review calculations, examine journal entries, and access supporting documents — without touching your working environment or consuming a user license. Audit independence is not a convenience feature. It's a compliance requirement that shapes how your auditors interact with your lease data.
