AutoEntry vs Receipt Stash

AutoEntry captures information from receipts, invoices, bank statements and other financial documents for accountants, bookkeepers and businesses. Users can photograph, scan, upload or email documents, then categorise extracted data and publish it to accounting software. Its OCR and machine-learning extraction is described by the maker as up to 99% accurate; the system can also suggest VAT codes and supplier accounts based on prior use. Listed integrations include Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, KashFlow, SortMyBooks, ClearBooks, AccountsIQ, MYOB AccountRight, ReckonOne, FuseMetrix and exact. The iOS and Android apps handle invoice and receipt uploads, manual and mileage expenses, and expense reports. Bank and supplier statements and file-management folders require the web app. AutoEntry runs on Android, iOS, web and Windows. Plans start at $13 a month, billed monthly and excluding VAT, for 50 credits and unlimited users; unused credits can be kept for up to 90 days. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan.

Receipt Stash captures, codes, tracks, and stores expense paperwork for accounts payable. Receipts can arrive through its Android or iOS app, email forwarding, web uploads, or scheduled Dropbox syncing. The service says it extracts data and codes submissions in less than five seconds, and can identify and remove duplicate documents. Its mobile app supports gallery uploads, batch capture, stitching long or multi-page receipts, and user permissions. Users can make custom expense reports and PDF statements, create CSV export templates, and track spending in dashboards. Receipt Stash publishes expenses to Xero as bills, bank transactions, expense claims, and more; QuickBooks publishing supports bills, expenses, expense claims, and more. Plans include the same features and unlimited users, but differ by monthly document allowance; extra submissions cost $0.29 each. Listed plans range from $6 a month for up to 25 documents to $124 a month for up to 800 documents, each with the stated additional-document charge. A 14-day trial includes up to 50 scans and requires no credit card unless purchasing. The company is based in Orewa, Auckland, New Zealand.
