AutoEntry by Sage reads receipts, invoices and statements on prepaid credits. A bank statement page uses 3 credits, so each page costs 56 to 78 cents depending on the plan. For statement work, the ZeraBooks bank statement converter costs far less per page and proves every statement against its printed balances.

WHAT AUTOENTRY IS
AutoEntry is a data entry tool sold as “AutoEntry by Sage”. Clients photograph receipts with its phone app or forward PDFs to a dedicated email address, and AutoEntry reads invoices, receipts, supplier statements and bank statements, then posts to Xero, Sage, QuickBooks and other ledgers. It says it is “up to 99% accurate”, without a published method.
Its pricing is built around invoices and receipts, at 1 credit each. Statements are the expensive document on the meter: 3 credits for every page, so a 10-page statement costs the same as 30 receipts. That is the gap a converter priced by the page fills. ZeraBooks reads bank and card statements, checks, invoices, brokerage and investment statements and financial statements in one place, with 1,000 pages a month in one plan.
ONE STATEMENT, START TO FINISH
From AutoEntry’s help article on uploading bank statements, checked October 22, 2026, followed through with a fictional 5-page checking statement for Cobalt Ridge Dental: a summary page, three pages of transactions and a page of notices.
Upload the PDF the usual way and choose the Bank Statements folder. Scanned paper statements and PDFs from online banking are both accepted.
All 5 pages are charged at 3 credits each, including the summary and the notices: 15 credits, or $3.90 at the Bronze rate. AutoEntry’s own tip is to remove pages without transactions before uploading, which would bring it to 9 credits ($2.34).
Progress shows on the Activity tab, and a banner appears in the Bank Statements Inbox while the file is read. If the statement is rejected, the credits come back automatically.
The extracted statement lands in the Bank Statements Inbox with account number, date, description, debit, credit, balance and cheque number where there is one.
Download the rows as Excel or CSV and import them into your accounting software. AutoEntry doesn’t assign nominal codes to bank statements, so coding happens in the file or in the ledger.
THE SAME STATEMENT IN ZERABOOKS
Cobalt Ridge’s summary page says the account opened at $12,480.15, took in $9,320.00, paid out $8,915.42 and closed at $12,884.73. That one page is how you know the export is complete.
PROOF
ZeraBooks adds the rows it read and checks them against the printed balances: 12,480.15 + 9,320.00 − 8,915.42 = 12,884.73. A statement is Proven only when every account ties to the cent. If one figure is off, you see which account and by how much, and ZeraBooks reads it again before asking you. Removing the summary page to save credits would remove that check.

WORKED EXAMPLE
Fernbrook Tax & Books is a fictional practice that converts about 300 statement pages a month for its clients. At 3 credits a page, that is 900 credits a month. Platinum’s 500 credits are too few, so the plan that fits is Diamond.
| Line | AutoEntry (Diamond) | ZeraBooks Convert |
|---|---|---|
| Statement pages a month | 300 | 300 |
| Allowance used | 900 of 1,500 credits | 300 of 1,000 pages |
| Price a month | $298.00 | $149.00, or $79.00 billed annually |
| Per page | $0.99 | $0.26 billed annually |
| Total for the year (USD) | $3,576.00 | $948.00 billed annually |
Fernbrook saves $2,628 a year on the annual plan and still has 700 pages a month left for checks, investment statements or a client catch-up. AutoEntry’s 600 spare credits expire after 90 days. Prices checked October 22, 2026.

MONTHLY COST
AutoEntry charges 3 credits a statement page, so each credit plan covers a third as many pages. Month-to-month U.S. prices, before tax.
Above 2,500 credits (833 statement pages), AutoEntry quotes a custom package and publishes no price. Published prices, checked October 22, 2026: AutoEntry pricing.
THE VERDICT
AutoEntry is a capable data entry tool, but its meter makes statements its most expensive document. When statements are the work, ZeraBooks is the better buy.
Use ZeraBooks Convert. A page costs a fraction of AutoEntry’s statement rate, a whole PDF goes in at once, and every account is proven against the bank’s own balances before anyone imports it.
