- **Supplier rules:** Rules automate how receipts, bills and statements from a given supplier are coded when they are sent on.
- **Accounting sync:** Sends documents and their data to Xero, QuickBooks Online and Bill.com.
- **Collaboration and backup:** Several collaborators can work in one account, documents can be downloaded, and files can be synced to Box.

## Good for

- Bookkeepers who chase clients for receipts every month
- Small businesses that want paper bills kept as digital files
- Teams already on Xero or QuickBooks Online

## Worth knowing

- It captures and extracts documents; it is not a ledger and needs an accounting platform to post to.
- The pricing page lists a single $12 USD monthly plan and gives no annual option.
- The site now sits under the Xero name, so how it is bundled with Xero may change.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: B.** $12 a month for the one plan, inside the category's cheaper quarter (up to $15), though it only does the capture step.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 30-day free trial with no credit card, then $12 a month. No free plan.
- **Features: D.** Captures documents and extracts data, with supplier rules and sync. It's not a ledger and needs an accounting platform to post to.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You link it to your accounting software and set up supplier rules first.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, syncing to Xero, QuickBooks Online and Bill.com, with Box for backup. No desktop app.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Expense tracking and documents: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Live feeds from your bank, which take an agreement with each bank or a service that has them.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
