Hubdoc vs Receipt Stash

Hubdoc collects bills, receipts and statements, extracts key information, and organizes the documents in cloud storage. Users can add paperwork by photographing it in the mobile app, forwarding email, or scanning and uploading files. Extraction from receipts, invoices and bills is intended to reduce manual data entry, while Supplier Rules automate document coding. Hubdoc sorts documents into searchable, customizable folders and supports searches for matching keywords or phrases. It can publish documents and their data to Xero, QuickBooks Online and Bill.com, and create document copies in Box. The service is available on web, Android and iOS. Hubdoc says it helps accountants and bookkeepers save time and scale their practices, and helps small and medium businesses manage paperwork. It is included as a service in scope of Xero’s SOC 2 Type II report; Xero states that it is ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified and has annual independent audits. Support is available through Xero Central, with a separate support option for people without a Xero login. The Hubdoc plan costs $12 a month, with unlimited usage and multiple collaborators, after a 30-day free trial. The trial requires no credit card.

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.

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.
