AutoEntry Alternative: Pricing, Credits and Cost Per Statement Page

What AutoEntry costs in US dollars

AutoEntry is Sage’s document capture product. You do not buy pages or documents, you buy credits, and every plan comes with a monthly credit allowance. The table below is the US dollar ladder taken from AutoEntry’s own pricing page in August 2026, with the currency selector set to US Dollar. Prices are quoted excluding VAT. The last two columns are the part AutoEntry does not publish: what those credits are actually worth if the documents you upload are bank statements.

Read the right hand column first. Whatever plan you land on, converting a bank statement page through AutoEntry costs somewhere between 56 cents and 78 cents. That is not a criticism of the product, it is a consequence of how the credit system is designed, and it is the single most important number for anyone shopping specifically for a statement converter.

Why a bank statement burns credits faster than anything else

AutoEntry charges different credit rates for different document types, and it is explicit about this in its own help text: invoices have the lowest charge, while bank statements cost more because of the higher volume of extraction involved. Here is the published rate card.

Notice the difference in the unit. Invoices, receipts and supplier statements are charged per document. Bank and credit card statements are charged per page, at triple the rate. A single supplier invoice costs one credit. A twelve page bank statement from a US bank costs thirty six.

This is why the plan headlines can be misleading if statements are your workload. The Bronze plan advertises 50 credits a month for $13, which sounds generous until you work out that 50 credits is about sixteen statement pages, or roughly one and a half monthly bank statements. The free trial’s 25 credits is about eight pages, which may not cover a single statement from a bank that pads its PDFs with summary and terms pages.

A worked example on cost

Take a small bookkeeping practice with 20 clients, each sending one 10 page bank statement a month. That is 200 statement pages, which at 3 credits a page is 600 credits. The Platinum plan at 500 credits is not enough, so the honest answer is the Diamond plan at 1,500 credits for $298 a month. On OFXStatement the same 200 pages sits comfortably inside the Starter plan at $49 a month, or $24 a month billed annually, because Starter includes 2,500 standard pages.

That gap is real, and it is also only half the story. If those same 20 clients are also sending supplier invoices and receipts that need to land in Sage or Xero, AutoEntry is doing a job OFXStatement does not do at all, and paying one vendor beats paying two. Price the work you actually have in front of you, not the headline rate.

Where AutoEntry is genuinely the better buy

AutoEntry is not a statement converter that happens to be expensive. It is a purchase automation tool that also reads statements, and judged on what it is built for it is strong. It captures invoices, receipts, bank statements, purchase orders, and expenses and mileage in one place, then publishes the results straight into Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, KashFlow, SortMyBooks and ClearBooks. There is no download and re-import step, which is a genuine workflow saving when documents arrive every day rather than once a month.

Two other things are worth calling out honestly. Every plan includes unlimited users, which matters for a firm that would otherwise pay per seat. And unused credits stay available for up to 90 days rather than evaporating at the end of the month, which is unusually forgiving for a metered product and helps if your volume is lumpy around quarter end. Being owned by Sage also means the Sage integration is a first party one.

Where a focused converter wins

OFXStatement publishes this page, so read the middle column as a vendor describing its own product and check the claims. We convert PDF and scanned bank and credit card statements into OFX, CSV and Excel, with QBO export on the Plus plan. We do not read invoices, we do not read receipts or purchase orders, and we do not sync directly into Sage, Xero or QuickBooks. Here is the comparison as fairly as we can put it.

The case for a focused converter is narrow and specific. If the pile on your desk is bank and credit card statements, if the volume is high enough that a per page rate of 60 to 78 cents starts to hurt, and if you are content to download a file and import it yourself, then paying credit rates for invoice automation you never open is money spent on capability rather than output. If your pile is mixed, that logic reverses immediately.

How to decide in about ten minutes

Count the statement pages you process in a normal month, including the cover page, the summary page and any blank or terms pages the bank pads the PDF with, because those count too. Multiply by three. That is your monthly AutoEntry credit requirement for statements alone, before a single invoice. Then add one credit for every invoice or receipt, or two if your invoices need line item detail, and look up which plan the total lands in.

If statements dominate the number, a dedicated converter will almost certainly cost less. If invoices and receipts dominate, AutoEntry earns its price and the statement handling comes along as a bonus. If your work is genuinely split, run both trials on the same week of real documents and compare the output, not the marketing.

Switching without breaking your month end

Moving statement work off a credit based tool is low risk because the output is a standard file. Convert a statement, export an OFX file, and import it the same way you import any statement. If your destination is a spreadsheet rather than an accounting package, the PDF bank statement to CSV converter produces a tidy file you can map to any template. If you are moving Quicken work, note that plain OFX is not the file Quicken wants for a bank account, and our guide to the Quicken Web Connect file explains what does work. Keep AutoEntry for the invoice and receipt flow if that is where it earns its keep, and let the statements go somewhere cheaper per page.
