When AutoEntry makes sense
AutoEntry has a mobile app for iOS and Android, which makes it a natural fit for clients who need to photograph receipts on the go. If your workflow involves a mix of paper receipts, expense reports, and supplier invoices — and you want staff to capture documents with their phones — AutoEntry handles that well.
AutoEntry also has strong integration with Sage and MYOB, making it a popular choice in the UK and Australian accounting markets where those platforms dominate. If your practice uses Sage or MYOB as a primary platform, AutoEntry's direct sync is a practical advantage.
For mixed document types — invoices, receipts, bank statements — AutoEntry's per-document model can make cost predictable for lower-volume use. It also handles supplier statement reconciliation, which goes beyond what SkipEntry does.
When SkipEntry makes sense
SkipEntry is built for bookkeepers and accountants who process batches of PDF invoices from their desktop — email attachments, scanned PDFs, supplier PDFs downloaded from portals. No mobile capture needed; just upload and extract.
- You process batches of PDF invoices from email or file folders
- You need line item detail, not just header totals
- Your primary accounting platform is QuickBooks Online or Xero
- You want flat monthly pricing rather than per-document billing
- You work in the US market and need QBO-ready output
At 200+ invoices per month, per-document pricing adds up quickly. SkipEntry's flat $49/mo Starter plan processes 200 pages with no per-doc overhead. For practices processing 1,000+ pages/month, the cost difference is significant.
