Comparison
Double (formerly Keeper) vs LedgerClean
Double was known as Keeper until October 2025, when a trademark dispute led to the rebrand. The platform is unchanged. This page uses “Double” throughout, with “formerly Keeper” noted so searchers can confirm they're in the right place.
Both tools help bookkeepers manage QBO work. They solve different problems.

Pricing math
Double's per-client model scales with your book at $10 to $50 per connected client per month (Core, Plus, Scale). That's efficient if every client is a recurring retainer generating $300+/month in fees.
LedgerClean is flat. $49/month for the Solo plan covers 5 active projects at a time, no per-client surcharge. There's also a $29 one-time Single Cleanup tier for a single engagement with no subscription. If you take 3-4 cleanup projects a quarter at $1,500-$3,000 each, the math works immediately.
Workflow fit
Double's workflow assumes the engagement already exists. You're running close tasks, answering client questions in the portal, generating reports. It's built for the month-after-month rhythm.
LedgerClean's workflow assumes the engagement doesn't exist yet. A prospect sends you 6-8 QBO exports. You run the diagnostic, get a health score and hour estimate in about a minute, send a proposal PDF with your logo, close the deal, do the work, deliver. Then the engagement ends or graduates to a monthly retainer (at which point Double becomes a reasonable next step).
When each one wins
Double wins for: established firms with recurring clients, teams that need a client portal and KPI reporting, bookkeepers who want coding error detection inside their close workflow.
LedgerClean wins for: freelance bookkeepers on Upwork or similar platforms, firms that sell cleanup-then-retainer packages, anyone who needs a defensible hours estimate and proposal before quoting a cleanup.
The both-tools stack
If you do cleanup that converts to monthly close, use LedgerClean to diagnose and price the cleanup project, then move the client into Double once you're into recurring work. Diagnostic tools and close platforms aren't competitors, they're sequential.
