Hubdoc vs. Klippa

When I am out purchasing items for my business I can quickly take photos of receipts and upload via the app and not have to worry if I lose or damage a receipt. This is very handy for me. Hubdoc also allows me to get all my invoices, payments and statements to my bookkeeper very easily which saves me money and time. I only use Hubdoc for business purposes which is where I feel it is most suitable. I probably wouldn't use it for personal stuff as I don't track personal that strictly.

Klippa does well with invoices without graphics and logos. If you can convince your suppliers to remove their branding and submit plain company names it will perform better. One issue that I could not overcome was when a supplier used "SO" (for Sales Order) as the prefix for an invoice. Every time the OCR ran it deciphered this as "S0" S-Zero. I wouldn't downgrade my rating based on that though. My one significant disappointment was I was led to believe that they would tailor the template for us. There was some minor work around our local tax rules but when it got to specific coding for our purchase order numbers the work ceased. To be fair, I may have misunderstood the scope of what changing these templates was included in the agreement. Either way, we could work around it so it wasn't a major flaw.

• Extracts data from documents both from a feed and a scan really quick.
• Availability of automated feeds directly from the supplier.
• Integration with accounting software e.g. Xero (now owned by them) and QBO.
• Ability to auto-archive to many different cloud storage locations such as Google Drive and ShareFile.

Incentivized

• Identifies invoice numbers.
• Extracts text from any angle - 45 degrees and upside down.
• Extracts line items from a printed invoice.

Incentivized

• Although it is great that they can automatically get bank statements and transactions once linked, these links have been very unreliable historically.
• Figuring out how to set up the automatic feed is cumbersome. You can land up being inundated with useless transaction data.
• you have to upload each document separately. The program cannot differentiate/split PDFs.

Incentivized

• More flexibility in tailoring the templates to suit individual customers.
• Better documentation around the API; as I recall it was hard to find.
• Commercial follow up. No one has contacted me since my initial purchase.

I think this is one of the easiest apps to use on both mobile and desktop. Once it was all set up by my bookkeeper all I needed to do was upload things. I recall the set up being quite simple and we've only made a few small changes over the years.

At the time we implemented Hubdoc (more than 2 years ago) it was quite cutting edge and did have strong advances from the competition plus its pricing was definitely more competitive (flat rate vs price per data extraction model). However, currently the competition has caught up and now many of Hubdoc's core features are being built into online accounting software natively.

We did not get far into evaluating other solutions we were looking at because Hubdoc came highly recommended from peers, coupled with Xero and Gusto. The cost for Thompson-Reuters is high. We quickly honed in on Hubdoc due to cost and recommendation and are very glad that we did.

Klippa is optimised for invoices. Wins hands down.

Incentivized

• We are processing much faster than expected
• Clients are getting receipts in faster and allowing us not to stalk them to process their banking
• It is a file for us besides attaching to the invoice we also have the history of bills/receipts in Hubdoc

Incentivized

• To early to tell, our app has been delayed due to other COVID related activities.
