Starlog vs Veryfi Invoices OCR API

Starlog is a receipt scanner and expense tracker for small businesses, available on Android and iOS. It reads receipt details on the phone and uses OCR to fill in the store, amount and date. Users can group receipts into reports with category breakdowns, then export a ZIP containing XLSX data and receipt images. Starlog also describes structured voucher exports for direct import into Tally. Teammates can submit receipts for the owner to review and approve, without a per-seat fee. Receipt images go into year-and-month folders in the user's own Google Drive account. Starlog says it accesses only the Drive folder it creates for receipts, which users can disconnect in settings; it also says OCR runs on the phone, so images are not uploaded to a server for reading. The free plan covers one company with unlimited receipts for six months from the first receipt, then 30 approved receipts per month. Unlimited Receipts costs $1.99 a month for one company; multi-company plans and one-time receipt packs are also listed.

Veryfi Invoices OCR API extracts invoice information into structured JSON, including vendor details, line items, tax, and totals. It accepts documents such as PDFs and images, and the response includes OCR text for downstream applications. Veryfi says the API supports over 150 fields covering supplier, line-item, tax, and payment data. The product page describes checks for altered or duplicate invoices, including digital tampering analysis, PDF layer analysis, and duplicate detection. Developer resources include SDKs and code samples for Python, Node.js, PHP, C#, and Java, among other languages; n8n and Zapier are listed for workflow connections. Veryfi states that its platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and uses TLS 1.2 and 1.3, salted password hashing, and AES encryption at rest and in transit. It says it complies with GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA, and will sign a BAA upon request. The API is described for accounts payable, bill pay, and three-way purchase-order matching. The free plan allows up to 100 documents monthly. Starter costs $500 a month, with a minimum commitment and a listed $0.16; each transaction covers a document up to 15 pages.
