Nanonets alternative
A Nanonets alternative for invoices and bank statements
Nanonets runs document workflows: documents arrive by email, cloud folder, or API, go through extraction and approvals, and post to QuickBooks, Xero, or an ERP, billed per block run. pdf2text does one job with nothing to build: upload an invoice or a bank statement, check every field and row beside the page, and download Excel, CSV, or JSON, or a QuickBooks or Xero file for a statement. For automated accounts payable, Nanonets is the better choice.
In short
- Prices by the page: $19 a month for 150 pages or $29 for 400 on pdf2text. Nanonets bills each block run: $0.30 for data extraction, charged per page, plus the workflow's other steps.
- Nothing to set up: upload a document and it is read while you wait. On Nanonets, documents go through a workflow of import, data actions, approvals, and exports.
- Stay with Nanonets to post bills straight into QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, or NetSuite, or to run approvals and 3-way matching.

Why people look for a Nanonets alternative
Costs you can work out
Nanonets prices each block run by complexity, from $0.02 to $0.30, and says a typical invoice workflow runs 4 to 6 blocks. pdf2text counts pages: $19 a month for 150 pages, and every page read can be exported in any format.
One document, no workflow
A one-off invoice or statement doesn't need a workflow or credits. On pdf2text you can pay once for it: $9 once per document of up to 25 pages.
Bank statements for the books
pdf2text checks a statement's balances and exports QBO, OFX, QuickBooks CSV, and Xero CSV files, as well as Excel and CSV.

Pricing
What you would pay
Nanonets prices block runs, not pages: data extraction is charged per page, and the other steps of a workflow add their own runs. Its pages don't give one price for a page count, so there is no Nanonets total here.

|---|---|---|
| Free | A free preview with no credit card, one page per document: the first page, or for a one-page invoice its header fields and first line items. Up to 5 free pages to start, then 5 a week with a free account | $50 in free credits, no card required |
