Where they win
What ScanToExcel does better
Stated first, and without hedging, because you can check all of it.
- A wider set of document types, including receipts and paystubs.
- A free tier measured in statements per day rather than pages per file.
- OCR on photographed and scanned documents, which this site does not currently run in production.
Pricing: A free daily allowance, then paid plans. Checked August 2026 — confirm on their site before deciding.
Where we win
What this does better
- Reconciliation. Extracted rows are checked against the statement's own balance column, which is a check no receipt or paystub can offer.
- QuickBooks OFX and Xero CSV output, not just a spreadsheet.
Verdict
Which one you should actually use
If your documents are photographs or scans, or they're receipts and paystubs, they cover more ground. For digital statement PDFs where the figures have to foot, this is the more careful tool.
