The Best AutoEntry Alternative

It depends on volume, because AutoEntry is inexpensive at the low end. Its Bronze plan is $13 a month for 50 credits as of October 2026, and an invoice costs 1 credit, or 2 with line items, so 50 invoices with line items need the $24 Silver plan. Inbox Ledger starts at $15/month billed yearly ($180 a year) for a single business. Inbox Ledger firm plans start at $99/mo paid yearly and cover unlimited client workspaces with a shared firm credit pool. Add up the documents across all your clients each month and price that volume on both lists.

AutoEntry captures email by forwarding: each company gets upload addresses, one per folder, and documents sent there are extracted automatically. Its site does not describe connecting to a Gmail or Outlook mailbox and scanning it. Inbox Ledger connects to Gmail, Outlook or IMAP with read-only access, finds invoices and receipts, extracts the data with AI, matches them to bank statement transactions, and pushes bills to QuickBooks Online or Xero. A retroactive scan also picks up invoices that arrived before you connected.

AutoEntry extracts bank and credit card statements into transactions for your ledger, at 3 credits per page, and matches invoices to monthly supplier statements. Its site does not describe matching each bank line to the invoice it paid. Inbox Ledger matches the transactions on an uploaded bank statement to your invoices and lists what is left unmatched.

AutoEntry publishes to Xero, Sage and QuickBooks, plus FreeAgent, KashFlow, SortMyBooks and ClearBooks. Inbox Ledger pushes bills to QuickBooks Online, Xero and Dynamics 365 Business Central, so a practice on Sage or FreeAgent is better served by AutoEntry. Xero is a $15/month add-on on any paid plan and is included in Premium and Firm.

No. Every AutoEntry plan includes unlimited clients and unlimited users, and you pay for credits that are used up per document. Inbox Ledger firm plans also cover unlimited client workspaces and are priced by yearly invoice volume, so neither tool raises the bill when you add a client with no documents.

Your AutoEntry documents stay where they are: AutoEntry says data remains accessible for 13 months after you cancel. Inbox Ledger does not import AutoEntry data. It collects invoices again from the inboxes they arrived in, and a retroactive scan covers past months, so you can run both side by side while you check the results.
