Overview
Osome and Incorra both position themselves as AI-powered platforms for company management, but their underlying models are fundamentally different. Osome is a Singapore-based company that pairs AI automation with human accountants and company secretaries. Incorra is a UK-native platform built around a conversational AI agent that manages your company data in real time. This comparison explains what each does well and where the trade-offs lie.

AI capabilities
Osome uses AI to automate routine accounting and bookkeeping tasks. Documents are uploaded, automatically categorised, and processed. When something requires human judgment, it is escalated to an Osome accountant. The AI functions more as a workflow automation engine than a conversational assistant.
Incorra centres on Incorra Agent, a conversational AI that has full context of your company's data, filings, financials, and compliance status. You can ask it questions in natural language, request it to explain your tax position, or have it draft documents. The AI is the primary interface, not a background process.
The distinction matters: Osome's AI reduces manual work for their team. Incorra's AI gives you direct access to intelligence about your company.
Pricing
Osome charges monthly fees that vary by plan and service level. Their UK packages typically start around £100-150 per month for basic accounting and company secretary services, with higher tiers for more comprehensive support.
Incorra offers subscription tiers that include the full platform: formation, compliance tracking, tax management, financials, document management, and AI. Pricing is designed to be competitive with the cost of hiring a basic accountant or subscribing to multiple separate tools.
Osome's pricing includes human accountant time, which partly explains the higher cost. Incorra's pricing reflects a software-first approach where the AI handles the bulk of the work.
Compliance automation
Osome handles compliance as part of its company secretary service. Their team ensures your confirmation statements are filed, maintains your statutory registers, and handles director changes. This is done by a combination of software and human staff.
Incorra automates compliance tracking through its dashboard. You see all upcoming deadlines, get proactive alerts, and can file changes directly with Companies House through the platform. The difference is that Incorra gives you visibility and control, while Osome handles it behind the scenes on your behalf.
For founders who want to understand their obligations and be in the loop, Incorra is more transparent. For those who prefer to delegate entirely, Osome's managed approach may feel easier.
Accounting
Osome provides full accounting services, including bookkeeping, management accounts, and annual accounts preparation. You get a dedicated accountant who reviews your books and prepares your filings. This is a genuine strength, particularly for businesses that need a qualified professional reviewing their numbers.
Incorra offers AI-powered financial analytics, spending intelligence, and integrations with accounting software like Xero and QuickBooks. It does not replace a human accountant for preparing annual statutory accounts. Instead, it gives you real-time visibility into your financial position and helps you understand where your money is going.
If you need a full-service accountant, Osome provides that out of the box. If you want real-time financial intelligence and plan to use an accountant only for annual filings, Incorra's approach is more cost-effective.
Company formation
Osome offers UK company formation as part of its service packages. The process is handled by their team, and formation is typically bundled with an accounting or company secretary subscription.
Incorra provides a self-service formation flow with real-time company name checking and AI guidance through each step. Formation can be done independently of subscribing to an ongoing plan, though the platform is designed to be used continuously.
UK focus
Osome operates across multiple jurisdictions, including Singapore, Hong Kong, and the UK. Their platform is built to serve companies in different countries, which means the UK experience is part of a broader multi-market product.
Incorra is built exclusively for UK limited companies. Every feature, from Companies House integration to HMRC deadline tracking to SIC code selection, is designed specifically for the UK regulatory environment. This means deeper integration with UK-specific systems and less generalisation.
Open Banking and data integrations
Osome connects to major accounting software and bank feeds through standard integrations.
Incorra supports Open Banking through TrueLayer, allowing real-time bank data synchronisation without relying on screen scraping or delayed feeds. It also integrates with Stripe for payment data and supports Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent. The Open Banking connection gives Incorra a more up-to-date picture of your financial position.
Verdict
Choose Osome if you want a human-in-the-loop approach where qualified accountants handle your books and a company secretary manages your compliance. Osome is a proven service with a track record across multiple markets, and the peace of mind of having a human review your accounts is valuable for many businesses.
Choose Incorra if you prefer an AI-first platform where you maintain direct visibility and control over your company's data. Incorra is better suited to tech-savvy founders who want to understand their numbers in real time, manage compliance proactively, and use a conversational AI agent as their primary tool for company management.
Osome offers a hybrid of automation and professional services. Incorra offers a software platform with AI at its core. Your choice depends on whether you value delegation to professionals or direct access to intelligence about your business.
