Why Accountants Search for AutoEntry Alternatives
AutoEntry's credit-based pricing creates unnecessary complexity and unpredictable costs for accounting firms processing high volumes of bank statements.
3 Credits Per Page
Bank statements cost 3 credits per page - even blank pages, summaries, and notes sections count. A 10-page statement costs 30 credits.
90-Day Credit Expiration
Unused credits expire after 90 days. You lose what you don't use, creating pressure to process documents before expiration.
Overage Charges
Exceed your limit? AutoEntry charges 10% extra for overage credits (up to 200% of monthly limit). Tax season becomes expensive.

Beyond unlimited conversions, Zera Books offers advanced features that AutoEntry doesn't provide - giving accounting firms a complete workflow solution.
