What is Skedda?
Skedda visitors now sign NDAs and waivers before or at arrival.
Skedda's last quarter has been about workplace data: Occupancy Insights, multi-venue comparison, a read-only API beta and booking webhooks. The Visitor Management add-on now lets admins write NDAs and waivers in Skedda, assign them by visit type, and have visitors sign from their invite email or on the check-in tablet, with PDF copies sent automatically.
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.
Skedda vs Double: editorial side-by-side
Skedda
5.0COLLAB
Skedda visitors now sign NDAs and waivers before or at arrival.
◆ Current state
Skedda's last quarter has been about workplace data: Occupancy Insights, multi-venue comparison, a read-only API beta and booking webhooks. The Visitor Management add-on now lets admins write NDAs and waivers in Skedda, assign them by visit type, and have visitors sign from their invite email or on the check-in tablet, with PDF copies sent automatically.
◆ Where it's heading
Skedda is extending from desk and room booking into front-desk work, with visitors becoming a second product line beside the booking data and integrations. Document signing replaces a separate tool many offices use at reception.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Visitor Management features, such as host notifications or ID checks, and visitor events added to the webhooks. The entries don't show pricing changes for the add-on.
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.
