Morgen vs Double: at a glance
What is Morgen?
Morgen has cleared the v4 rebuild and is using the new foundation to add web and AI features.
Morgen 4 went out of beta in January after an extended ramp, replacing the internal architecture and dropping legacy CalDAV and Exchange on-premise support. Subsequent releases have layered new capability on the new base: centralized tag management, extended CalDAV support, AI Planner reliability, Microsoft Planner task quotas, and routine events that merge into existing blocks. The cadence is biweekly small releases, with one duplicate publish noted in February.
What is Double?
Double turns a recorded Chrome session into an agent that repeats the task.
Double is an accounting-practice platform built around the Ask Double assistant. Autoclose, an October 29 add-on at $500 a month, lets agents run the month-end close, and November 5 extended Ask Double to allocations, bank matching and 1099 prep. The November 12 release lets accountants record a task in the Double Chrome extension and turn it into an agent, adds bank feeds for US Xero clients, per-user caps on AI credits and new permission choices for agent actions.

Morgen
1.3COLLAB
Morgen has cleared the v4 rebuild and is using the new foundation to add web and AI features.
◆ Current state
Morgen 4 went out of beta in January after an extended ramp, replacing the internal architecture and dropping legacy CalDAV and Exchange on-premise support. Subsequent releases have layered new capability on the new base: centralized tag management, extended CalDAV support, AI Planner reliability, Microsoft Planner task quotas, and routine events that merge into existing blocks. The cadence is biweekly small releases, with one duplicate publish noted in February.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is converting the Morgen 4 platform investment into shipping velocity, especially around AI scheduling, task integrations, and cross-platform reach (the web edition is now possible). Expect more polish on AI Planner and broader integration coverage as the architecture pays back the rewrite cost. The v3 sunset is scheduled, so future work targets v4 only.
◆ Prediction
The next directional move likely brings the Morgen web experience to general availability, plus AI Planner enhancements that reason over routines and tasks across calendars. More CRM and task-system integrations should follow now that the data layer is unified.
Double
8.8COLLAB
Double turns a recorded Chrome session into an agent that repeats the task.
◆ Current state
Double is an accounting-practice platform built around the Ask Double assistant. Autoclose, an October 29 add-on at $500 a month, lets agents run the month-end close, and November 5 extended Ask Double to allocations, bank matching and 1099 prep. The November 12 release lets accountants record a task in the Double Chrome extension and turn it into an agent, adds bank feeds for US Xero clients, per-user caps on AI credits and new permission choices for agent actions.
◆ Where it's heading
Double is moving from an assistant that answers to agents that do recurring work, and is now letting firms create those agents by showing rather than configuring. Usage caps, permission levels and a web-browsing switch that is off by default show it adding controls as agents get more reach.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent templates and recorder support for other client systems, plus wider Xero coverage after the US bank feeds launch.
