Bonro vs Neat

Bonro turns receipts into structured data for self-employed people in the EU and UK. Its iOS and Android apps use on-device OCR, then AI extracts merchant, date, total, VAT, and category; each field is editable. The browser dashboard offers KPIs, trends, recoverable VAT, searchable receipts, uploads, and tax exports. Export formats include DATEV, FEC, Libro de Facturas, Registro IVA Acquisti, Auditfile XAF, HMRC SA103F, Xero, and QuickBooks. Users can forward receipts to a private account inbox, and Bonro reads several electronic invoice formats as structured data. Receipts queue locally when offline and synchronize when connectivity returns. The free plan is free and permits five receipts per month without export. Starter is €6.99 a month and allows 30 receipts per month with a single-country export. Pro is €12.99 a month and lists unlimited receipts and all 10 countries. A 14-day free trial is listed. Bonro is available on Android, iOS, and the web, but it does not file taxes or provide tax or legal advice.

Neat is receipt and document tracking software for freelancers, gig workers, small businesses, and people managing personal finances. It captures receipt and invoice images from its mobile apps, email, drag-and-drop uploads, and compatible scanners. OCR extracts merchant, date, tax, and total fields from paper documents. Files can be organized by expense type and tax category, then searched and filtered. Users can add documents to expense reports and match uploaded receipts with streamed transactions. Live views cover cash balance, expense categories, total sales, and other transaction data. Neat integrates with QuickBooks, H&R Block, Quicken, TurboTax, Outlook, Campaign Monitor, Mailchimp, Google Contacts, and Constant Contact. QuickBooks Online transfers expense data and attaches receipt or invoice images, retaining expense mapping. Apps run on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. The Neat plan costs $200 a year and includes unlimited storage and support.
