Able2Extract alternative
Able2Extract pricing, and an online alternative for bank statements
Able2Extract Professional, from Investintech, is desktop software for Windows, macOS, and Linux that converts any PDF to Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and more, edits PDFs, and works fully offline, for $199.95 once. pdf2text is online and made for financial documents: upload a bank statement, check every row beside the page with a balance check, and download Excel, CSV, or a file for QuickBooks or Xero. For editing PDFs, converting them to other formats, or keeping files on your own computer, Able2Extract is the better choice.
In short
- Nothing to install: pdf2text runs in any browser, on a phone too. Able2Extract is a desktop download for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with no web-app version.
- Transactions, not a table layout: pdf2text reads a statement's dates, descriptions, amounts, and balances and checks them. Able2Extract converts PDF tables to Excel and lets you set the columns and rows yourself, with templates for the same layout.
- Paying once: Able2Extract is $199.95 for a lifetime license or $49.95 for 30 days; on pdf2text one statement is $9 once per document of up to 25 pages, and plans start at $19 a month for 150 pages.

Why people look for an Able2Extract alternative
No software to install
Able2Extract is a desktop app for x86 computers (Macs with Apple silicon need Rosetta 2), on up to two computers per license. pdf2text runs in any browser, a phone included.
Files for QuickBooks and Xero
Able2Extract's own QuickBooks guide converts the PDF to CSV, then imports the CSV. pdf2text exports QBO, OFX, QuickBooks CSV, and Xero CSV files you import for a statement, as well as Excel and CSV.
A few statements, not a license
A one-off job doesn't need a $199.95 license. On pdf2text you can pay once per statement: $9 once per document of up to 25 pages.
