Choose WellyBox if you mainly need receipts from email and tax preparation. It stops there.
Best For
Booksmate is for owners who want month-end invoices collected for them. WellyBox is for email receipts and tax preparation.
| Booksmate | WellyBox |
|---|---|
| Month-end invoices, collected for you | Receipts from email |
| Amazon Business, Stripe, Google Ads, and email | Tax season preparation |
| Invoices that never arrive in email | Freelancers with many receipts |
| Xero, QuickBooks, Google Drive, DATEV, sevDesk | CSV / Excel / PDF export |
DATEV and accounting exports
Booksmate has DATEV export in two ways: a monthly ZIP your tax adviser imports, or new invoices sent to your DATEV Upload Mail address automatically. Booksmate also exports to sevDesk, Xero, QuickBooks, and Google Drive. WellyBox does not offer DATEV or sevDesk.

Main Difference
Booksmate covers the month-end work WellyBox cannot. It downloads invoices from 500+ supplier websites and from email, on your computer. It exports to Xero, QuickBooks, Google Drive, DATEV, or sevDesk. WellyBox is strong at email receipts and tax preparation, and it stops there.
WellyBox is strong at receipts from email and tax preparation. It reads Gmail, Outlook, and other email. Invoices that never arrive in email are missed.
Why Choose Booksmate?
Invoices that miss your inbox
Amazon Business, Stripe, Google Ads, and 500+ other sites. Booksmate downloads those invoices. WellyBox only reads email.
Month-end in one place
Invoices from supplier websites and from email are collected on your computer. WellyBox stops at email receipts.
Files for your accountant
