AutoEntry alternatives for finance teams who want agentic workflows
AutoEntry by Sage captures invoices, receipts and statements for your ledger. Docsumo is an intelligent document processing (IDP) platform: AI agents check each document against the file, your team clears exceptions, and the workflow follows your process.
An invoice from Redfern Electrical Wholesale, INV-66190 for $7,425.00, arrives for purchase order 5582. Docsumo's AI agents sort it into one file with the PO, delivery note DN-8841 and invoice INV-66012, read every line, total and reference, and check them against each other: INV-66012 already billed the same 150 LED panels on DN-8841 for $7,425.00, so the delivery is billed twice. A workflow agent routes the exception to the AP team's queue, where their own AP specialist rejects the duplicate.
Trusted by 10,000+ mid-sized and enterprise teams, including

- Hitachi
- PayU
Beyond capture: checked across the file, routed your way
The difference: how far the checks reach, and whose process the documents follow.

How switching works
- Pick the documents. Take a month of documents, with AutoEntry's output as the baseline.
- Set up your process. Set document types, PO checks and review thresholds; add a test webhook.
- Run both. Run the same documents through both; count the fields a person fixed.
- Switch. Move intake to Docsumo, export what you need as CSV or Excel, then cancel AutoEntry before renewal.

“Docsumo's self-learning capabilities and the accuracy of the invoice line-item data capture made it stand out for us.”
Jussi Karjalainen, Founder & Managing Partner, ValtatechQuestions about AutoEntry alternatives.
What is the best alternative to AutoEntry?
For bookkeeping capture, Dext is the closest match, and DocuClipper turns bank statements into QuickBooks or Xero data. Docsumo (ours) is an intelligent document processing (IDP) platform for finance teams that want AI agents checking each document against the file. Stay on AutoEntry if bills and receipts are the whole job.
How much does AutoEntry cost?
From $13 a month for 50 credits to $469 for 2,500, in US dollars excluding VAT; bigger volumes get custom packages after a demo. An invoice uses 1 credit (2 with line items), a bank statement page 3. Docsumo's plans are quoted.
Is AutoEntry free with Sage?
No. Sage bought AutoEntry in 2019, and it's available in Sage for Accountants, but it's a separate, usage-based subscription. Some Sage 50 bundles include credits, and the free trial gives 25.
Dext vs AutoEntry: what's the difference?
AutoEntry sells credits from $13 a month, with unlimited users. Dext, owned by IRIS Software Group since December 2024, lists $25.21 a month, billed annually, for 250 documents and 5 users, and states ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification.
Does AutoEntry have an API?
None is stated: we found no public API, Zapier connector or webhooks on its site or help center. It publishes to Sage, Xero, QuickBooks and other ledgers. Docsumo has a REST API and webhooks.
Can AutoEntry read handwritten invoices?
Not reliably: its help center says it doesn't guarantee handwritten invoices and usually rejects them. Docsumo reads handwritten as well as printed text.
Does AutoEntry match invoices to purchase orders?
On totals: in QuickBooks Online or Xero it warns you if the PO total differs, and in Sage 50 the totals must match. Docsumo's agents match each invoice line to the PO and receipt, on the Enterprise plan.
Is AutoEntry ISO 27001 certified?
Its help center says it's working towards ISO 27001, with stage 1 passed in May 2018, and that it's GDPR compliant. Docsumo has SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR compliance.
