Double vs Immich: at a glance
What is Double?
Double is turning its accounting assistant into the way the work gets done
Double ships weekly, and nearly every release extends Ask Double rather than the surrounding application. In the last two months it has learned to build workpapers by reconciling accounts against supporting documents, import accruals, create and manage client metrics through the MCP and API, take voice input, and — in private beta — reach into Slack, Notion, and HubSpot. The non-assistant work fills in what firms need to trust that: role-based restrictions on editing client properties, and check transactions in AI Transactions.
What is Immich?
Immich is four release candidates into v3 with every feature note published somewhere else.
The visible release stream is a v3.0.0 RC series — rc.0 through rc.3, cut over eleven days in June — and each entry is the same template: a release-candidate disclaimer, a database and library backup warning, and instructions to move IMMICH_VERSION from v2 to v3 or the rolling v3-rc tag. The actual release notes live on a work-in-progress preview page outside the changelog.

Double is turning its accounting assistant into the way the work gets done
◆ Current state
Double ships weekly, and nearly every release extends Ask Double rather than the surrounding application. In the last two months it has learned to build workpapers by reconciling accounts against supporting documents, import accruals, create and manage client metrics through the MCP and API, take voice input, and — in private beta — reach into Slack, Notion, and HubSpot. The non-assistant work fills in what firms need to trust that: role-based restrictions on editing client properties, and check transactions in AI Transactions.
◆ Where it's heading
The assistant is moving from answering questions to performing the billable work — tie-out, accrual setup, metric standardization across a whole book of clients. Each release pairs that with an access or permissions control, which is the pattern of a vendor that knows the objection is liability rather than capability. The accounting engine itself keeps advancing underneath, most recently with prepaid contracts paid in installments.
◆ Prediction
Given the review-and-signoff question these features raise, the likely next step is an approval or audit trail around what Ask Double produces rather than another task it can perform.
Immich
0.0COLLAB
Immich is four release candidates into v3 with every feature note published somewhere else.
◆ Current state
The visible release stream is a v3.0.0 RC series — rc.0 through rc.3, cut over eleven days in June — and each entry is the same template: a release-candidate disclaimer, a database and library backup warning, and instructions to move IMMICH_VERSION from v2 to v3 or the rolling v3-rc tag. The actual release notes live on a work-in-progress preview page outside the changelog.
◆ Where it's heading
What the feed does show is a project running a disciplined pre-release: a rolling RC tag so testers do not have to chase point versions, and two-to-seven day turnarounds between candidates as bugs come in. What it does not show is a single feature, which means anyone tracking Immich through its changelog learns only that a major version is close, not what it changes.
◆ Prediction
A v3.0.0 stable release follows once the RC turnaround lengthens; the entries give no basis for predicting what it contains, because none of them describe it.
