Futureproof vs Profit Cyclops
Two profit statements, one business. Only one can be the record.
Profit Cyclops calculates seller profit daily and syncs it to your preferred accounting software. Futureproof is an AI finance team: six agents working one ledger that replaces that accounting software, so the profit statement you read and the books you file from cannot disagree.
Three signs the calculator is not the whole answer.Each one costs a weekend.
Their product is built to sit beside an accounting system. That arrangement has a cost, and it is not on the invoice.
Two profit and loss statements
Their own pitch sets their seller profit and loss against the one your accounting software produces. Running both means somebody decides, every quarter, which of the two the business actually believes.
The ledger is still rented
Their accounting product syncs into Xero, QuickBooks Online, or Sage. The books, the chart of accounts, and the close all stay in a system you buy, run, and reconcile separately.
Coverage arrives with the tier
Walmart, TikTok Shop, Shopify, eBay, the accounting sync, and the replenishment forecaster are listed from the Plus tier upward, and how far the data goes back moves with the tier as well.
Twelve things a seller has to keep straight.Where each one is kept.
Each row is work that happens either way, described in each product's own terms. Some rows are a difference, and some are simply a description.

Three steps and a first night.The catalog comes with you.
There is no rebuild of the cost file and no waiting on anyone to provision an account.
Connect your accounts
Amazon, eBay, your store, your bank accounts, your cards, and your ad platforms connect in one sitting, and the day's activity starts posting to one ledger.
Bring your history
Coming from QuickBooks, a one-click migration brings your history across, including books another tool has been syncing into. Other systems migrate over with file exports.
Let the agents run
Theo allocates the inbound costs across the units they belong to, Vic closes the day, and Hugo rebuilds margin per SKU from entries rather than from a parallel calculation.
Four things you are not giving up.The switch is narrower than it sounds.
Changing where the numbers are kept does not change who you work with or how money moves.
- Your accountant
- Your CPA keeps filing. Closed months are theirs to read on the same ledger, exported in the format they work in.
- Your bank and your cards
- The accounts stay exactly where they are. Theo codes the supplier bills and schedules the payments, and you release them.
- Your cost history
- Past periods and the cost basis behind them come across in the migration, so this season can be read against the last one.
- Your approvals
- Agents recommend a reorder, draft a reminder, and queue a payment. Committing to any of it stays your decision.
The questions that come up on the way out.Answered without the hedging.
No, and the difference is where the books live. Profit Cyclops calculates your profit and syncs the result into Xero, QuickBooks Online, or Sage, so the ledger, the chart of accounts, and the close stay in a system you run. Futureproof's agents keep that ledger. Vic closes the books overnight, Hugo rebuilds your margins, Margo plans your cash, and you approve their work with one click.
Pricing starts at $1,000/mo and covers all six AI agents: Vic (bookkeeping), Remi (AR), Theo (AP), Margo (FP&A), Hugo (channel analysis), and Nia (exit readiness). The same six roles hired as humans cost $384K to $605K a year in salaries. Profit Cyclops sells a seller suite that reports profit and syncs it to your accounting software. Futureproof is the accounting software it would sync to.
Yes, Futureproof is live for ecommerce. Amazon and eBay integrations connect directly, with Shopify in beta. Start a 14-day trial.
For the profit and accounting work, yes. Futureproof covers per-SKU profit tracking, marketplace fee breakdowns, and margin analysis, and keeps the books on its own ledger rather than syncing them to one. Sellers who depend on their repricer, their reimbursement service, or their agency API should note that those sit outside the Futureproof product.
Yes. Amazon and eBay integrations connect directly: Futureproof posts orders, fees, and payouts into your books. Shopify support is in beta, with TikTok Shop coming soon. Meta Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads connect for spend, which posts by campaign against the channel revenue it supported.
It depends on what the seller wants to own. Profit Cyclops reports profit in detail and syncs it to accounting software you keep running, and it scales well past one marketplace. Futureproof is the ledger itself, which matters most when you want the close, the cash plan, and the diligence record to come off the same entries as the margin.
From calculated to posted
Keep the per-order detail.Put a closed month under it.
Connect Amazon, your store, your suppliers, and your bank, and the profit figure stops being a second opinion on your own books.
Starting at $1,000/month for all six agents, with a monthly review call with a human financial specialist included. No per-seat fees, no modules.
