AutoEntry vs Stampli (2026): which should you pick?

Pick AutoEntry if

• Fits if you keep the books and want paper invoices and receipts typed in for you
• Works for accountants who post into Xero, QuickBooks or Sage

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you need people to submit and approve expense claims, because it isn't that kind of tool
• Skip it if you don't already have an accounting package to publish into
• Watch out: credits are used per page, with a bank statement costing 3 credits and an invoice with line items 2
• Tight if you're staying free, with only a 25-credit trial
• Watch out: prices on the page are before VAT

Pick Stampli if

• Fits if your ERP is on its list and invoices pile up for approval
• Works for finance teams that want the conversation kept on each invoice

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you can't see a price, as the page leads to a quote request
• Too light for expenses on their own, as cards and expenses sit beyond the AP product
• Tight if you want a trial, as none is listed
• Watch out: it needs an ERP, so check yours is on the integrations list

AutoEntry

• Pricing is by credits, not by user: an invoice is 1 credit, an invoice with line items 2, a supplier statement 2, and a bank or credit card statement 3 credits per page.
• Prices on the page are shown excluding VAT.
• It is a data-entry layer: it needs an accounting package to publish into and is not an expense-reporting or reimbursement system.
• The pricing page shows monthly plans only; the vendor's pages do not list a free plan.

Stampli

• No prices are published; the pricing page leads to a quote request.
• Stampli's pricing page says AP plans include unlimited entities, vendors and a customer success manager.
• Procurement, direct pay, credit card and advanced vendor management sit beyond the AP product.
• It is built to work with an ERP, so check that yours is on the integrations list.
