Choose AutoEntry if...

Choose Receiptor AI if...

  • You need a quoted scan of historical inbox documents for a selected date range.
  • You want entity-specific review and match-first delivery into Xero or QuickBooks Online.

Credits follow document work

AutoEntry charges one credit for an invoice without line items, two with line items, one per expense or receipt, two per supplier statement, and three per bank-statement page.

Email means folder-specific forwarding

AutoEntry gives each company separate email addresses for purchases, supplier statements, sales, and expense reports. Receiptor monitors supported connected inboxes directly.

Document coverage differs

Receiptor does not replace AutoEntry's bank-statement extraction. AutoEntry also supports supplier statements and more accounting packages, while Receiptor specializes in receipts, bills, and invoices.
