Double vs SOGo: at a glance
What is Double?
Double's Autoclose hands the month-end close to AI agents for $500 a month.
Double is an accounting-practice platform with the Ask Double assistant at its centre. Autoclose, shipped Oct 29, lets agents run on a schedule or trigger to pull statements, code bank feeds, post journal entries and reconcile accounts, then report every step. Agentic browsing logs in to bank and card sites with no integration, Credentials stores those logins, and both are on the Scale plan. Autoclose is a $500/month firmwide add-on, waived for a limited time for firms committing 10 or more Scale clients.
What is SOGo?
SOGo's release notes have become a vulnerability disclosure channel with a version number attached.
SOGo is a self-hosted groupware suite — webmail, calendaring and contacts — maintained by Alinto. Four of the last six releases exist primarily to fix security vulnerabilities: XSS through malicious mail, SQL injection, OpenID impersonation, script execution via theme and hint query parameters. The newest, 5.12.10, fixes four more and states that all previous versions are affected, with CVE identifiers still pending at publication.

◆ Current state
Double is an accounting-practice platform with the Ask Double assistant at its centre. Autoclose, shipped Oct 29, lets agents run on a schedule or trigger to pull statements, code bank feeds, post journal entries and reconcile accounts, then report every step. Agentic browsing logs in to bank and card sites with no integration, Credentials stores those logins, and both are on the Scale plan. Autoclose is a $500/month firmwide add-on, waived for a limited time for firms committing 10 or more Scale clients.
◆ Where it's heading
Double has moved from an assistant that answers and drafts to agents that post to the books, with humans reviewing at the start and end. The October arc shows the build-up: connectors, Teams send-as-user, then Autoclose. Activity logs and sign-off tools are the supporting layer, because firms must be able to audit what an agent did.
◆ Prediction
Expect Autoclose to extend beyond its first tasks, including the Uploads Inbox work already open to agents, and to reach Xero clients; the entries don't say whether Autoclose covers Xero today.
SOGo
2.5COLLAB
SOGo's release notes have become a vulnerability disclosure channel with a version number attached.
◆ Current state
SOGo is a self-hosted groupware suite — webmail, calendaring and contacts — maintained by Alinto. Four of the last six releases exist primarily to fix security vulnerabilities: XSS through malicious mail, SQL injection, OpenID impersonation, script execution via theme and hint query parameters. The newest, 5.12.10, fixes four more and states that all previous versions are affected, with CVE identifiers still pending at publication.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is a codebase whose input-handling surface is being systematically probed, largely by the community reporting to the project's bug address, and patched in batches. Release numbering has stopped being reliable as a timeline — 5.12.7 shipped after 5.12.8 — so version order tells you nothing about what a deployment contains. The two non-security releases in this window were both regression repairs from the security releases that preceded them, which is the cost of shipping fixes at this cadence.
◆ Prediction
Given four security batches in five months and CVE identifiers still being assigned retroactively, another batch on the same cadence is the most likely next release, with a regression patch following it.
