Hubdoc alternatives, now that no further development is planned
If you capture bills and receipts with Hubdoc, you have probably seen the news: Xero has said no further development of Hubdoc is planned. The tool still runs, but new features and fixes are not on the roadmap — so this is the moment to line up where your document capture goes next, without leaving Xero.
What “no further development” actually means
It does not mean Hubdoc has been switched off. There is no published shutdown date. What it means is that the gaps Hubdoc has today are the gaps it will keep. The biggest one for most teams: Hubdoc reads the header of a bill or receipt — supplier, date, and total — but not the line items underneath. If that was going to change, it would have been on the roadmap.
What to look for in a Hubdoc alternative
- Full line items, not just header totals — so the detail you code against is captured, not retyped by hand.
- A direct push to Xero — so your ledger, bank feeds, and workflow do not move.
- No per-supplier templates — so a new vendor layout works on the first upload instead of needing setup.
- A confidence score on every field — so anything uncertain routes to a quick human check instead of slipping through.
Docusift: same bills, full line items, still into Xero
Docusift captures the same bills and receipts Hubdoc does, then goes a step further: it extracts the complete line items — every row with its description, quantity, unit price, and amount — alongside the header fields and tax, each with a per-field confidence score. Then it pushes the itemized result straight into Xero and QuickBooks. You keep the destination you already use and gain the detail Hubdoc stops at, with no per-vendor templates to maintain.
- Upload the bill or receipt, or forward it to your workspace inbox.
- Docusift extracts header fields and full line items, tying each amount to its description.
- Review anything flagged low-confidence — the rest is ready.
- Push to Xero or QuickBooks as a fully itemized bill.
