Puzzle is an AI-native accounting platform built from the ground up to replace QuickBooks for startups and early-stage companies. With a free-tier on-ramp, automated revenue recognition, and a 2024 pivot toward accounting firms as a distribution channel, Puzzle is a named contender in the emerging low-end AI general ledger race — though its standing against rivals Digits and Kick remains an open question.
