Compiled from each vendor public product pages, pricing pages and sitemaps, checked on September 17, 2026. The two lease accounting products split on price visibility, ERP fit, GASB coverage and lessor accounting long before you reach a feature grid.
| Software | Core job | Lease abstraction | Published price | Start without a demo | Standards named |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LeaseAbstractors This tool | Turn lease PDFs into structured data | Yes, and every field links back to the clause it came from | Published on our pricing page, in US dollars | Yes, no signup and no demo | Feeds any standard your accounting system applies |

Verified against each vendor public pages on September 17, 2026. The NetLease ladder comes from the price table Netgain embeds on its own self sign up page, not from a software directory, and it contradicts two directory listings that still describe a five lease free plan and no public pricing. Black Owl names GASB once on its homepage inside a generic sentence and publishes no GASB product page. Prices change, so confirm with each vendor before you sign.
Both are lessee lease accounting products that close the books under ASC 842, and either will do the job for a mid-market company. Six questions separate them, and five can be answered from public pages tonight.
NetLease answers this on its own self sign up page: free for 1 to 10 leases, then 1,200 dollars a year at 10 leases, 4,200 at 50, 6,700 at 100 and 12,700 at 250, with Enterprise above that on a quote. Black Owl names five tiers and every one reads Contact Sales. If your CFO wants a budget line this week, only one of these can give it to you without a meeting.
This usually decides the matchup. NetLease runs as a native NetSuite SuiteApp, and its standalone edition posts to QuickBooks Online through an integration Netgain says costs nothing extra, or exports journal entries to Excel for any other ERP. Black Owl says it integrates with any ERP or financial system, with standard ERP integration listed from its Large Companies tier up.
NetLease names GASB 87 and GASB 96 on its NetSuite product page and lists GASB compliance on every standalone tier. Black Owl publishes ASC 842, IFRS 16 and ASPE solutions and has no GASB product page. For a city, county, utility or university finance office, that settles it on the public evidence.
Black Owl includes complete lessee and lessor functionality in every plan, including the entry level Small Business tier. NetLease is the lessee product, and Netgain sells lessor accounting as a separate NetSuite product called NetLessor. A landlord or an equipment lessor with a mixed book should weigh that heavily.
NetLease lists lease abstraction powered by OpenAI on every standalone tier, so it will pre-fill fields from an uploaded document for you to review. Black Owl has no abstraction feature and ships upload templates, which means someone keys the terms into a spreadsheet first. Either way, a lease with six amendments still needs a careful read before its numbers hit a journal entry.
Both sell to firms. Black Owl has CPA Essentials and CPA Advanced tiers with unlimited clients and users. Netgain sells NetLease for Firms and says more than 150 accounting and advisory firms use NetLease, with QuickBooks Online posting per client. Neither publishes a firm price, so this is the one question that needs a call.
Most of this can be decided before either vendor calls you back. The order matters, because the cheapest step rules out the most options.
Write down which general ledger you close in and how many agreements you really have, including equipment. With the lease count in hand you can read your exact NetLease standalone price off its own sign up page in under a minute.
Take your messiest lease and your most typical one and pull the terms out here, before you open either accounting platform. You come away knowing your true field list, how your renewal options are structured, and how bad your worst document is.
Match the standard you report under to the vendor pages. GASB rules out Black Owl on the public evidence. A lessor book points to Black Owl, or to NetLessor inside NetSuite.
By now you should be down to one product. Bring your abstracted lease data to the call and ask the vendor to build the schedule from it live, then compare the result against the numbers you already checked.
These are the questions that come up when a controller has both products open in browser tabs and owes a recommendation by Friday.
NetLease and Black Owl Systems are both lease accounting platforms, and for a mid-market lessee reporting under ASC 842 either will produce a defensible right-of-use asset, lease liability and journal entry schedule. The real differences sit elsewhere: whether you can see a price before a sales call, whether you close in NetSuite or QuickBooks, whether you report under GASB, whether you account as a lessor, and who reads the leases. On all five the public evidence is clear enough to decide most of it tonight.
NetLease publishes its standalone pricing on the Netgain self sign up page. The Essential tier covers 1 to 10 leases for free. The Pro tier is priced by lease count and starts at 1,200 dollars a year at 10 leases, rising to 3,825 dollars at 45, 4,200 at 50, 6,700 at 100 and 12,700 at 250. Above 250 leases the Enterprise tier is a quote. Every tier lists unlimited users. The NetSuite SuiteApp edition is different: the Netgain pricing page says each package is tailored and priced during a demo. Our full breakdown is in NetLease pricing by lease count.
Black Owl does not publish a price. Its pricing page, headed Transparent Plans for Every Team Size, names five tiers, Small Business, Large Companies, Enterprise, CPA Essentials and CPA Advanced, and every one of them reads Contact Sales. A search of the raw page for a dollar sign returns nothing. We track what can be pieced together in what Black Owl Systems actually costs.
The marginal price falls as the portfolio grows. On the published ladder each extra lease adds 75 dollars a year between 10 and 45 leases, 50 dollars between 50 and 95, and 40 dollars between 100 and 250. The average works out to about 120 dollars per lease per year at 10 leases, 84 at 50, 67 at 100 and roughly 51 at 250. That is useful when you compare it with vendors that price per agreement, such as Cradle, and with vendors that price per user.
Yes, as a feature. Every standalone tier, including the free one, lists lease abstraction powered by OpenAI, and Netgain describes it as pre-populating lease fields from an uploaded document for the user to review. It is built to feed the NetLease schedule, so the output lives inside NetLease. If you need the abstract itself as a deliverable, with every value linked to the page and clause it came from and exported to Excel, CSV or JSON for a different system, a dedicated lease abstraction tool is the better fit.
No. The words abstract, extract and OCR appear zero times on its homepage and on its pricing page, and every plan instead includes upload templates. That means a person reads each lease and keys commencement dates, payment schedules, escalations and renewal options into a spreadsheet before Black Owl has anything to calculate. We cover this in detail in does Black Owl Systems do lease abstraction.
No. The Netgain pricing page says most of its products are embedded in NetSuite and require a NetSuite instance, but it names NetLease and NetAsset as standalone products for teams that are not on NetSuite. The standalone NetLease connects to QuickBooks Online and exports journal entries to Excel for upload into any other ERP. If you are on NetSuite, the SuiteApp posts straight to the general ledger with no connector, which is its main selling point. Our NetSuite lease abstraction page covers the document side of that setup.
NetLease, on the public evidence. Netgain announced a NetLease integration with QuickBooks Online available to all users at no extra cost, posting amortization, modification, termination and long-term to short-term reclass entries. Black Owl says it integrates with any ERP or financial system and lists standard ERP integration from its Large Companies tier, but it does not name QuickBooks on its homepage or pricing page. A small company closing in QuickBooks Online should ask Black Owl for a written answer before assuming it works.
NetLease. It names GASB 87 and GASB 96 on its NetSuite product page and its standalone lease accounting page, and lists GASB compliance on every standalone tier. Black Owl publishes solution pages for ASC 842, IFRS 16 and ASPE, and GASB appears once on its homepage inside a general sentence, never as a supported product. For a government, utility or higher education finance team the choice is made. See our GASB 87 lease accounting software comparison for the wider field.
Black Owl. Every Black Owl plan, including Small Business, lists complete lessee and lessor functionality, and the site runs separate lessee and lessor solution paths. NetLease is lessee software. Netgain sells lessor accounting as NetLessor, which is a NetSuite product, so a lessor who is not on NetSuite has no Netgain option on the public evidence.
NetLease has something better than a trial for small portfolios: a free Essential tier for 1 to 10 leases, opened through self sign up with no sales call, and you upgrade inside the app as the lease count grows. The NetSuite edition offers interactive click-through demos instead. Black Owl does not publish a trial or a free tier and routes every plan through a demo, and its own FAQ quotes a deployment of four to eight weeks depending on your readiness.
Both publish SOC reports, so neither is a weak choice on assurance. Black Owl states on its homepage that it is SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified. Netgain describes NetLease as SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliant and supported by external SOC reporting. Ask each vendor for the current report under NDA and check the period it covers.
Upstream of both. Neither accounting platform replaces the careful reading of a commercial lease, its amendments and its side letters, and that step is where most ASC 842 errors start. Upload the lease here and get base rent, escalations, commencement and expiration dates, renewal and termination options, and CAM terms as structured fields, each linked to the clause it came from. Export the result to Excel or CSV and load it into NetLease, Black Owl or anything else. You can compare more matchups in Black Owl Systems competitors and in our NetLease alternatives roundup.

Talk to our teamPrice visibility and ERP fit. NetLease publishes a price ladder by lease count, from a free 1 to 10 lease tier to 12,700 dollars a year at 250 leases, and runs either inside NetSuite or as a standalone app that posts to QuickBooks Online. Black Owl publishes no price, integrates with any ERP, and includes lessor accounting in every plan.
We cannot say for certain, because Black Owl publishes no price. NetLease standalone costs nothing up to 10 leases and 1,200 to 12,700 dollars a year between 10 and 250 leases. Get a written Black Owl quote for the same lease count and user count, and compare implementation fees too, since Black Owl quotes four to eight weeks to deploy.
NetLease does, as a feature: every standalone tier lists lease abstraction powered by OpenAI, which pre-fills fields for review. Black Owl does not; it ships upload templates that someone fills in by hand. If you need a standalone abstract with source citations to export anywhere, use a dedicated abstraction tool before either platform.
Yes. Netgain names NetLease as one of two products it sells to teams not on NetSuite. The standalone edition has its own self sign up, a free tier for 1 to 10 leases, a QuickBooks Online integration at no extra cost, and Excel journal entry exports for other ERPs.
NetLease. It names GASB 87 and GASB 96 on its product pages and lists GASB compliance on every standalone tier. Black Owl publishes ASC 842, IFRS 16 and ASPE solutions and no GASB product page, so a public sector team should rule it out on the public evidence.
Black Owl. Every plan includes complete lessee and lessor functionality. NetLease is lessee software, and the Netgain lessor product, NetLessor, runs inside NetSuite only.
Both sell firm editions. Black Owl offers CPA Essentials and CPA Advanced with unlimited clients and users. Netgain sells NetLease for Firms and says more than 150 accounting and advisory firms use NetLease. Neither publishes a firm price, so request both quotes with your real client count.
Yes. Abstracting two or three real leases first tells you your true field list, how your renewal options and escalations are structured, and how messy your worst document is. You then walk into both demos with clean data and can watch each platform build a schedule from your own numbers.

Ask a questionEach plan includes a monthly allowance of pages, and the number you get depends on which AI model you choose at extraction time. Base AI processes pages faster; Pro AI delivers the highest field-level accuracy. Your allowance resets on your billing anniversary each month, unused pages do not roll over. A typical commercial lease runs 20 to 60 pages including amendments, so the Starter plan's 2,500 Base AI pages cover roughly 40 to 120 leases a month.
Once your included pages are used up, extraction pauses until the next billing cycle. You can upgrade your plan at any time mid-month, the higher allowance kicks in immediately and you are only charged the prorated difference for the remainder of the period.
Yes. You can switch from monthly to yearly billing at any renewal date to lock in the 50% discount. If you switch mid-cycle, the new rate takes effect at the start of your next billing period. Annual plans are non-refundable after the 14-day cancellation window.
All plans export to Excel XLSX and CSV. Plus adds QuickBooks (QBO) export and financial reports. Pro and Enterprise unlock JSON output via REST API so you can push structured data directly into any ERP, RPA platform or internal system.
We do not use your documents to train or improve our own models, and files are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Extraction runs through a third-party model provider, so review their terms if your policy requires a contractual no-training commitment. You control retention: documents can be deleted from the workspace at any time, and we will remove everything on request.
Enterprise plans are tailored to your organisation's document volume, compliance requirements and integration needs. Pricing is based on committed monthly page volume with volume discounts at scale. Contracts include a Data Processing Agreement (DPA), custom security review support where required, and dedicated infrastructure options. Contact our sales team to get a custom quote.
