Where Glasscubes is stronger
Inflo is a digital audit platform: working papers, audit data analytics, quality management and a Digital Collaboration module for PBC requests. If your problem is getting the PBC list back complete and on time, the question is whether you need a whole audit platform to do it.
A price you can read
Published from £96 a month plus £14.40 per user on annual billing, so a six-person audit team pays £182.40 a month, excluding VAT. Inflo says you only pay for what you use, but publishes no prices: you book a demo.
Clients click a link
Clients answer each item from a secure link, with no account or password. Inflo's security page says access to its platform is by username and password, with two-factor authentication available.
Data in the UK
Data is stored in AWS data centres in the UK. Inflo's security page lists its EMEA instance on Azure, with the primary data centre in North Europe (Ireland) and the backup in West Europe (Netherlands). Both of us hold ISO 27001; Glasscubes is also Cyber Essentials certified.
Reuse last year's list
Save a PBC list as a request template and send it again next year, or schedule it as a recurring request. Automatic reminders are on every plan and stop once the client has finished.

Where Inflo is the better buy
Three things worth knowing before you switch, including the cases where Inflo is the better buy.
-
Inflo covers the whole audit
Inflo also offers working papers, audit data analytics that it says analyse 100% of transactions, and a quality management system. Glasscubes is for collecting PBC information from clients and tracking what is outstanding.
-
Requests and working papers in one system
If you want requests, working papers and review in one platform, Inflo is built for that. Glasscubes is for the request side: collecting information from clients.
-
Inflo is built by audit specialists
Inflo says its risk-based methodology was built by audit professionals, and that it suits firms from small practices to global enterprises. Audit is one service line of several for us, so a firm whose work is mostly audit should weigh that depth honestly.
