Frequently asked questions
Is Moby a good DataSnipper alternative?
Yes, for teams who want the same Excel-based workflow with the AI included and pricing published up front. Moby covers the core audit work: extraction, document matching, and financial-statement tie-outs, with full traceability on every figure.
Does Moby do the same things as DataSnipper?
For the core audit work, yes: AI-assisted and manual extraction, table extraction, document splitting, matching and reconciliation, footing and prior-year checks, and an AI agent that runs tasks from a plain-language request.
Do reviewers need a paid license to read the documents?
No. Anyone with a free, read-only Moby license can open and review the source documents. Paid plans are for the people doing the extraction and the checks.
Is the AI included, or a paid add-on?
Included in every plan. Extraction, the agent, and the checks are part of Moby, not separate modules.
Does Moby run inside Excel?
Yes. Moby is a native Excel add-in. Documents are stored on secured cloud servers, so the workbook stays light even on large engagements.
Does DataSnipper analyze the general ledger?
DataSnipper's journal-entry testing is document vouching — matching entries to supporting documents. Moby additionally analyzes the ledger itself: from a general ledger file (FEC), it generates a documented analytical review workbook with expectations, quantified variances, flagged entries, and prepared client questions.
Where is my data stored?
Your data is hosted on Microsoft Azure in the EU. Moby is SOC 2 Type II certified and does not train AI on your data.
