Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 26 of the 51 other spend and bill pay tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about AutoEntry, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You connect it to your accounting software and set up how documents are coded.
- 1
Best for turning invoices and receipts into accounting entries
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $13 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $13 per month for 50 credits, excl. VAT.
- 3
You can try it first
Free trial that includes 25 credits; the pricing page says no credit card is required
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Document capture
Documents come in by upload, scan, forwarded email or photo from the mobile app.
- 6
OCR and machine learning
Extracts supplier, dates and amounts, with line items on invoices. The vendor says accuracy is up to 99%.
- 7
Suggested VAT codes and suppliers
The software learns from past entries and proposes VAT codes and supplier accounts.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 26 of 51
That is against the other spend and bill pay tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $13 a month for 50 credits (about $0.26 each), against a middle of $12 for expense tools. Prices are before VAT. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free trial with 25 credits, and the pricing page says no credit card is needed. There's no free plan. |
| Features | D | It captures and categorises documents, but it needs an accounting package to post into and doesn't handle expense claims or reimbursement. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You connect it to your accounting software and set up how documents are coded. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent and KashFlow on the list. No desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Accountants and bookkeepers handling documents for several clients
- Small businesses that want receipts and supplier invoices keyed in automatically
- UK and Ireland users who need records ready for Making Tax Digital
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.
- The pricing page shows monthly plans only; the vendor's pages do not list a free plan.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
