FIND YOUR FIT

AutoEntry or Spendifique: Which is the better fit?

Different bookkeeping needs call for different tools. Here's where each platform has the advantage.

AutoEntry is a better fit if...

You use Sage accounting software

AutoEntry integrates with Sage, making it a natural option for businesses and firms already using Sage.

You manage many low-volume clients

AutoEntry doesn't charge per client. Firms with many clients submitting relatively few documents may benefit from shared credit allowances.

You rely on purchase-order matching

AutoEntry supports matching purchase orders with supplier invoices.

Spendifique is a better fit if...

You're a small business with regular expenses

Get unlimited scans for $22/month, billed annually, instead of purchasing credits as your document volume grows.

You're a bookkeeper managing high-volume clients

Pay from $16.50 per client/month, billed annually, with unlimited scans for each client, regardless of document volume.

You want more than document extraction

Bring historical inbox scanning, bank transaction matching, client document requests, and invoice approvals into one workflow.

TESTIMONIALS

What our customers are saying

Real feedback from bookkeepers and small businesses using Spendifique every day.

What made me switch was the lack of minimum client requirements. I didn’t want to pay for 10 clients when I only had 4 active ones. The multi-invoice PDF detection has also been surprisingly useful: it asks for confirmation and then automatically splits documents, which saves me a lot of manual effort. The extraction accuracy is better than what I’ve used in Xero and Hubdoc. Turnaround time is fast, and the suggestions are usually correct.

William K.

Having no limits on scans or line items is a big win. I don’t have to worry about usage caps when clients upload a large batch of invoices. The multi-line extraction works well, even on more detailed invoices with lots of items. I also appreciate that vendor recognition improves over time, it genuinely feels like the system learns and becomes more accurate the more I use it.

Beth C.
Accountant · via G2

Speed is what really stands out. I can upload an invoice and within seconds, it's categorized with the vendor and tax details already filled in. The centralized dashboard makes managing multiple clients much easier, especially when assigning work to team members.

Daniel C.
Accountant · via G2

The workflow is straightforward and doesn't try to do too much. Setting up new clients is fast, and the chart of accounts and vendor lists sync automatically. Clients find the interface easy to use too, which cuts down on back-and-forth.
