Main Difference

Booksmate collects invoices for you. We fetch from 500+ supplier portals and scan your inbox. AutoEntry waits for you to forward, upload, or photograph every document.

AutoEntry goes deeper into the ledger. It publishes coded invoices directly to Sage, Xero, and QuickBooks, handles bank statements, supplier reconciliation, and purchase order matching.

Why Choose Booksmate?

Invoices show up on their own

Booksmate fetches from 500+ supplier portals automatically. AutoEntry has no portal automation. You forward, upload, or snap every document.

Your inbox does the work

Connect Gmail, Outlook, or IMAP and we find invoices for you. AutoEntry needs you to forward to a special email address.

Flat pricing, no credit math

One monthly price. No counting credits per document. AutoEntry charges per extraction, and line items cost extra.

WhatsApp receipt capture

Send a photo to our WhatsApp bot. AutoEntry has a mobile app but no WhatsApp option.

Missing portal? Add it yourself

Unsupported supplier? Open the desktop app, click Add Missing Website, and our AI builds a working plugin in minutes. AutoEntry has no supplier portal automation.
