Best for capturing bills and receipts for your accounting software
Hubdoc collects bills and receipts, reads the data off them and sends it to your accounting software for $12 a month. It isn't a ledger, so it needs Xero, QuickBooks or similar to be useful, there's one plan and no annual option, and the site now sits under the Xero name.
Who Hubdoc is for
- Fits if you already use Xero or QuickBooks Online and drown in paper bills
- Works for bookkeepers who want supplier documents collected automatically
Who Hubdoc is not for
- Not for you if you need a ledger, because it captures documents and doesn't keep books
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as it's a 30-day trial and then $12 a month
- Watch out: the pricing page lists one monthly plan and no annual option
- Watch out: the site sits under the Xero name now, so how it's bundled may change

Keep Hubdoc, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Hubdoc 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 $144 a year.
What you could make
- Expense tracking and documents: an app builder makes these 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.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Hubdoc’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.
