VERYFI PRICING
These are the plans and per-document prices on Veryfi’s pricing page on October 22, 2026, in U.S. dollars. Veryfi prices each API request, and one request covers one document of up to 15 pages.
| Plan or document | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Up to 100 documents a month, all document types, SDK access, limited storage | $0 |

ZERABOOKS, ON THE SAME JOB
Here is ZeraBooks Convert on the same job: three fictional supplier invoices for Ridgeway Electric, uploaded together. Every line is read and checked against the subtotal and the total, then all three download as one workbook, All details - 3 documents.xlsx, with 8 invoice lines.

WHAT VERYFI IS
Veryfi sells OCR as a service to software teams. You send a document to its API and get structured data back, with SDKs in Python, Node.js, PHP, C#, Java and Go. It covers receipts, invoices, checks, tax forms and more than 100 other document types, and adds a fraud score to bank statements. A web uploader exists for trying it without code.
That makes it a component rather than a finished tool. Someone still has to turn the JSON into the file an accountant imports, decide what to do with a statement over 15 pages, and work out whether the rows add up. ZeraBooks Convert is the finished tool: upload PDFs, check the proof, download the file your software takes.
WHAT ONE STATEMENT RETURNS
Veryfi’s bank statement page lists the fields its JSON carries. Here they are next to the ZeraBooks columns the same values land in, so you can see what each tool hands you.
| Veryfi JSON field (from its page) | ZeraBooks column | ZeraBooks format |
|---|---|---|
| Account and routing number | Account, Account Last 4 | All details |
| Period dates | Shown in the statement proof | On screen |
| Beginning and ending balance | Opening and closing balance in the proof, tied to the cent | On screen |
| Transaction date | Date (MM/DD/YYYY) | Every format |
| Description | Description | Every format |
| Credit and debit amounts | Amount, or Money In and Money Out | Standard, Money in and out |
| Running balance | Balance | Money in and out, All details |
| Vendor | Payee | Xero-ready |
Veryfi returns JSON from the API, and JSON, CSV or PDF from its web uploader. ZeraBooks returns Excel or CSV in six ready-made formats. Veryfi field names here are paraphrased from its page, not its exact keys.
WHAT ZERABOOKS ADDS
PROOF
Reading a beginning and ending balance is half the job. ZeraBooks adds every row for each account and compares the result with the printed balances. A statement is Proven only when every account ties to the cent; if one doesn’t, it reads the statement again and then shows you the gap.
How Convert proves a statement
LONG FILES
One ZeraBooks upload takes a PDF of up to 500 pages and 50 MB and splits it by account and cardholder. A 22-page year-end statement is one ordinary upload, not a custom configuration.
READY FOR YOUR SOFTWARE
Pick QuickBooks-ready, Xero-ready or Sage-ready CSV, or a plain spreadsheet, in the Download dialog. No mapping script in between. The column-by-column guide is on convert a bank statement to CSV.

WORKED EXAMPLE
Harlow & Finch CPA is a fictional firm that converts 400 client statements a month, 6 pages each, so 2,400 pages. Every statement is under Veryfi’s 15-page limit.
| Line | Veryfi Starter | ZeraBooks 2,500 |
|---|---|---|
| Usage a month | 400 statements x $0.25 = $100.00 | 2,400 of 2,500 pages |
| Minimum a month | $500.00 | None beyond the plan |
| Price a month | $500.00 | $249.00, or $179.00 billed annually |
| Total for the year (USD) | $6,000.00 | $2,148.00 billed annually |
The firm saves $3,852 a year with ZeraBooks, and gets proven Excel or CSV instead of JSON to process. Veryfi’s 12-month commitment would lower the usage to $96.00, still under the $500 minimum. Prices checked October 22, 2026.
