Best for turning invoices and receipts into accounting entries
AutoEntry reads invoices, receipts and bank statements and posts the figures into accounting software, from $13 a month for 50 credits. It's a data-entry layer, not an expense claims system, so it needs an accounting package behind it and the credits can run out fast.
Who AutoEntry is for
- 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
Who AutoEntry is not for
- 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

Keep AutoEntry, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace AutoEntry you would be making live feeds from your bank, which take an agreement with each bank or a service that has them. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $156 a year.
What you could make
- Expense tracking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Live feeds from your bank, which take an agreement with each bank or a service that has them.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Sage, Xero and QuickBooks among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. AutoEntry’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is AutoEntry?
AutoEntry captures the figures on invoices, receipts, bank statements and supplier statements using OCR and machine learning. Users review and categorize the extracted data, then publish it to a connected accounting package. It is sold in monthly credit plans, and the vendor markets it to accountants, small businesses and self-employed people.
Worth knowing
- 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.
