Passbolt vs Double: at a glance
What is Passbolt?
Passbolt 5.18 puts secure notes and custom fields into Quick Access.
Passbolt 5.18 "Superstylin" adds two themes and brings Secure Notes and Custom Fields into Quick Access, where they can be searched, previewed and copied, suggested by URL and read in Offline Mode. It also improves autofill on high-resolution displays and speeds up sharing. The previous release, 5.17, added passkeys as a second factor and rebuilt autofill detection; 5.16 brought a read-only Offline Mode in beta.
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.

Passbolt
5.0COLLAB
Passbolt 5.18 puts secure notes and custom fields into Quick Access.
◆ Current state
Passbolt 5.18 "Superstylin" adds two themes and brings Secure Notes and Custom Fields into Quick Access, where they can be searched, previewed and copied, suggested by URL and read in Offline Mode. It also improves autofill on high-resolution displays and speeds up sharing. The previous release, 5.17, added passkeys as a second factor and rebuilt autofill detection; 5.16 brought a read-only Offline Mode in beta.
◆ Where it's heading
The last three releases have moved from security controls towards daily convenience: offline access, better autofill, and now every resource type in the browser extension's quick view. The passwordless login the 5.17 notes pointed to has not shipped yet.
◆ Prediction
Expect more autofill and Quick Access work, and passkey sign-in without a password as the next major step the 5.17 notes promised.
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.
