Docusift vs AutoEntry
Docusift vs AutoEntry
AutoEntry (Sage-owned) captures and verifies invoices, receipts, and statements for accountants. Docusift takes a different approach: zero templates, zero model training, a single REST endpoint, and pricing that scales with pages — not seats or minimums.
AutoEntry (Sage-owned) captures and verifies invoices, receipts, and statements for accountants. The gap teams run into: pricing is built around monthly credit bundles, and unusual layouts still route through manual verification.
Docusift takes the opposite approach. Docusift prices per page with no credit bundles, and its unlimited-layout AI reads a format it has never seen without a verification detour. You get full line-item extraction on any layout, a per-field confidence score on every value, per-page pricing with a free tier of 100 pages a month, and a direct push to QuickBooks and Xero.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to AutoEntry?
Docusift is the leading alternative to AutoEntry for teams that want zero-setup document extraction. AutoEntry (Sage-owned) captures and verifies invoices, receipts, and statements for accountants. Docusift reads layouts visually with no template configuration, prices per page, and ships a free tier covering 100 pages per month.
Is Docusift cheaper than AutoEntry?
Docusift bills per page processed with no seat fees, no minimums, and a free tier of 100 pages per month. Most teams find the per-page model cheaper than AutoEntry's seat-based or template-tier pricing once their document volume crosses a few hundred pages a month.
Can I migrate from AutoEntry to Docusift?
Yes. Most teams migrate by pointing their existing pipeline at Docusift's REST endpoint — there are no templates to port and no models to retrain. The migration playbook is at /template-free-extraction-guide.
Why move off AutoEntry?
Teams move off AutoEntry when the per-vendor template overhead, the labeled-data treadmill, or the seat-based pricing stops scaling. Docusift removes all three: visual parsing, no labels, per-page billing.
Do I need to train a model first?
No. Docusift recognizes hundreds of document types out of the box. Custom fields are configured with a single sentence — no labeled training data required.
How is pricing calculated?
Pay per page processed. There is a free tier for evaluation and volume discounts for production workloads. No seat fees.
Can Docusift handle scanned or photographed documents?
Yes. The pipeline runs OCR + layout analysis + extraction in one pass, so scans, mobile photos, and native PDFs all flow through the same endpoint.
