Credentials and MFA kept local Large portal catalog out of the box

Where it runs

GetMyInvoices scrapes portals in the cloud. Booksmate runs on your computer, so MFA, sessions, and custom sites stay on your machine.

GetMyInvoices

  • Cloud scrape from their servers
  • Portal logins held for remote downloads
  • MFA and session changes often need workarounds
  • Custom or unusual sites are hard to add

Booksmate

  • Runs on your computer (desktop app)
  • Credentials stay local on your machine
  • MFA and sessions happen where you already log in
  • Any site you can open on your computer

Need a site that is not listed? Add it yourself. The listed ones should actually work. How to add a site.

How invoice automation works

Both automate Rechnungsdownload. They do it differently.

Test Results

Booksmate extracted every 2026 invoice correctly across all four portals. GetMyInvoices failed on OpenAI, Amazon, and Google Ads, and on BackBlaze extracted $1,800 instead of the real $18.37.

Provider Booksmate GetMyInvoices
OpenAI Correct Failed
Amazon Correct Failed
BackBlaze Correct Wrong amounts

Google Ads Correct Failed

What we saw

  • Booksmate extracted all invoices correctly across all 4 providers.
  • GetMyInvoices failed to download any invoices from 3 of the 4 portals tested.
  • GetMyInvoices showed wrong amounts on the only provider it did download from, likely an OCR decimal-place bug.

  • GetMyInvoices has no progress visibility - you cannot tell if it is working or stuck.
