Hubdoc alternative
A Hubdoc alternative for statements Hubdoc can't read
Hubdoc turns an English PDF bank statement into a CSV for Xero or QuickBooks Online, validated for a list of US and Canadian banks. pdf2text also reads statements from other countries, phone photos, and statements in French or Japanese, and gives Excel and CSV as well as files for Xero and QuickBooks. For banks on Hubdoc's list, Hubdoc costs less.
In short
- Banks outside the US and Canada: Xero says Hubdoc's statement extraction has been available only in limited regions, the US and Canada, and in June 2026 that no work is planned to extend it.
- More than English PDFs: Hubdoc needs a PDF of up to 100 pages, written in English. pdf2text also reads phone photos and gives Excel and CSV plus QBO, OFX, QuickBooks CSV, and Xero CSV files you import.
- Choose Hubdoc if your banks are on its US or Canadian list: $12 a month covers unlimited use, and it also captures bills and receipts.
