AutoEntry charges 2 credits for a bill with its line items and 3 credits per bank statement page, on plans from $13 for 50 credits to $469 for 2,500. InvoiceExtractor reads the header and every line on a flat page plan from $49 a month, so a busy client does not push you up a credit tier. Drop a bill below and check the line table.

AutoEntry is a solid product with direct publishing to QuickBooks, Xero and Sage. The usual reasons to look elsewhere are about how the bill is built, not about accuracy.
A header-only invoice is 1 credit and the same invoice with lines is 2. Clients who code by job, class or item pay the higher rate on every bill.
Sage tells accountants to buy a plan for each client, so a firm with ten clients manages ten allowances and ten renewals.
A 6-page statement is 18 credits. Catch-up work on a year of statements can use more credits than the vendor bills.
Unused credits roll over for 90 days and then expire. Past the allowance, a 200% overdraft is billed at a higher rate that is only visible on the invoice.
That is about 1,250 bills with line items. Larger volume is a demo and a custom package.
If the books live somewhere else, or you import with a file, publishing into a connected ledger is a feature you are paying for and not using.
InvoiceExtractor reads PDFs, scans and photos of vendor bills and returns a clean table, so the cost follows pages and not document types.
Description, quantity, unit price, tax and amount for each row, plus supplier, invoice number, dates and totals. No second price for lines.
Starter is $49 a month for 2,500 Base AI pages. Plus is $149 a month for 10,000 Base AI pages. Billed yearly they are $24 and $74 a month.
Download a file that imports into QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop or Xero, or pull the JSON through the API.
Pages are not tied to a client company, so a firm runs every client through one allowance.
Upload one of your heaviest multi-line bills above and judge the table before you create an account.
AutoEntry publishes straight into the connected ledger. InvoiceExtractor hands you a file or an API response, and you import it.
Use your own documents. A 10 minute test decides it.
Choose a long multi-line supplier invoice, a scan with a skewed page and a bill with tax lines.
Tip: Material and distributor invoices expose weak line reading fastest.
Read the line table for every row, quantity and amount. Compare it with what AutoEntry gave you for the same bill.
Count pages across all clients, not credits per client. Match the total to Starter or Plus.
There is no single best replacement. Here is the split by how you work.
Keep AutoEntry where one-click publishing matters, and move the clients whose bills need every line to one page plan.
Material invoices need every line for job costing. At 2 credits a bill, 300 bills is 600 credits and a $298 Diamond plan. The same 300 pages fit inside Starter.
Forty header-only bills a month fit AutoEntry Bronze or Silver. Stay if publishing works for you.
If you load bills into QuickBooks or Xero from a CSV, you do not need a publishing connector, only clean rows.
The best AutoEntry alternative for bookkeepers whose bills need their lines is a page-priced extractor such as InvoiceExtractor, because AutoEntry bills 2 credits for an invoice with line items and sizes plans per client company. InvoiceExtractor starts at $49 a month for 2,500 Base AI pages with every line included. AutoEntry is the better pick when you want direct publishing into a connected Sage, QuickBooks or Xero company.

These examples assume one-page vendor bills with line items. AutoEntry figures come from its published plans (Gold $46 for 200 credits, Platinum $103 for 500, Diamond $298 for 1,500, Sapphire $469 for 2,500) at 2 credits a bill.
| Bills a month | AutoEntry credits | AutoEntry plan | InvoiceExtractor plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 200 | Gold, $46 | Starter, $49 |
| 250 | 500 | Platinum, $103 | Starter, $49 |
| 750 | 1,500 | Diamond, $298 | Starter, $49 |
| 1,250 | 2,500 | Sapphire, $469 | Starter, $49 |
| 3,000 | 6,000 | Above the public tiers | Plus, $149 |
At 100 bills a month AutoEntry is a few dollars cheaper, and it publishes for you. The gap opens from about 250 bills. Header-only bills change the math, since they use 1 credit. For the full credit rules read our AutoEntry pricing breakdown.
If you want invoices to land in a connected QuickBooks, Xero or Sage company with the source document attached, AutoEntry does that and a file-based extractor does not. It also has unlimited users on every plan. Teams already happy with the output on header-only bills should keep it. A common setup is both: AutoEntry on simple clients and InvoiceExtractor on the clients with long, multi-line suppliers.
If Dext is also on your list, see the Dext alternative for line items. If Hubdoc is the other contender, read the Hubdoc alternative page. Once bills are extracted you can import bills into QuickBooks Online with every line.
InvoiceExtractor reads every line on a vendor bill and exports Excel, CSV, JSON or a QuickBooks import file, priced by pages instead of credits. Plans start at $49 a month, or $24 a month billed yearly. Dext and Hubdoc are the other names bookkeepers compare.
Yes. InvoiceExtractor prices by pages, so one plan covers every client you process. AutoEntry plans are sold per client company, which means ten clients need ten plans sized separately.
An invoice with line items uses 2 credits, about $0.52 on the Bronze plan and about $0.38 on Sapphire. A page-priced tool includes the line items in the page price, so the number does not change with the document type.
InvoiceExtractor does not publish into a connected ledger. It returns an Excel, CSV, JSON or QuickBooks import file that you load yourself. If one-click publishing is the main reason you use AutoEntry, keep it for those clients.
AutoEntry charges 3 credits per bank statement page. InvoiceExtractor prices a statement page like any other page on your plan, so a 6-page statement uses 6 pages of your allowance.
Yes. Upload a bill at the top of this page and check every line in the result table before you create an account, then choose Starter or Plus.
