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.

Saldo Receipt Scanner turns receipt images into categorized expense records and reports on Android, iOS, and the web.

Reports can be emailed, shared, or printed as PDFs. The app supports any currency and automatic conversion for travel expenses. It can be used offline, with receipt images uploading automatically when a connection returns. The Free plan costs nothing and allows 10 expenses with unlimited reimbursement requests. Business costs $14.99 a month and includes unlimited expenses and reimbursement requests, access to all apps and web, multi-device sync, a web version, and unlimited multi-user access. Accounts can be registered with email, Google, or Apple and provide access to other Saldo Apps applications. Support is available through in-app live chat, Facebook Messenger, or email. The privacy policy says the maker uses SSL encryption and limits data access to people with a business need to know.
