AutoEntry alternative
An AutoEntry alternative for bank statements, priced per page
AutoEntry by Sage charges 3 credits for every bank statement page, so statements use up a plan quickly. On pdf2text a statement page is one page of a plan: 150 pages cost $19 a month. AutoEntry fits better if most of your work is invoices, receipts, and expenses for many clients.
In short
- Lower cost per statement page: 150 pages a month take 450 AutoEntry credits, its $103 Platinum plan, against $19 on pdf2text; 400 pages take 1,200 credits, the $298 Diamond plan, against $29.
- One statement, no subscription: $3 once per document of up to 5 pages, $9 up to 25 on pdf2text. AutoEntry's free trial has 25 credits, enough for 8 statement pages.
- Choose AutoEntry for invoices, receipts, and expenses at 1 credit each, credits that roll over for 90 days, and unlimited users and clients.
