Honest Assessment
Where GetMyInvoices Has the Edge
We believe in honest comparisons. Here is where GetMyInvoices may be a better fit depending on your needs.
More than 10,000 portal connections
GetMyInvoices logs into online portals (banks, hosting, telecoms, energy, marketplaces) and downloads new invoices weekly, with automated two-factor handling. Gennai captures from email, chat and upload; its browser extension is not published yet.
DATEV, Peppol and the German market
GetMyInvoices exports to DATEV, lexoffice and sevdesk, receives Peppol e-invoices, and is GoBD certified with hosting in Germany. Gennai integrates with Xero, QuickBooks Online and Holded and covers other platforms with CSV and XLSX export.
Payment runs and SEPA files
GetMyInvoices can pay unpaid invoices through a connected bank account and generate SEPA XML files. Gennai generates ABA files for Australian batch payments and does not pay suppliers.
API, Zapier, mobile app and browser add-ins
A REST API, Zapier, Make and Power Automate connectors, a native mobile app with approvals, a Gmail extension, an Outlook add-in and a desktop app. Gennai has no public API or native app.
Gennai Advantages
Where Gennai Stands Out
These are the areas where Gennai offers a meaningfully different approach to invoice automation.
More invoices for less, with unlimited users
GetMyInvoices Essential is €19 a month plus VAT for 20 documents and 1 user; Professional is €99 for 200 documents and 5 users. Gennai Starter is $12 a month for 75 invoices, Growth is $29 for 250, and every plan includes unlimited users. Gennai also has a permanent free plan.
Deeper email capture
Both scan Gmail, Outlook and IMAP and both read invoices in the email body. Gennai also follows download links from Xero, Stripe, Square and QuickBooks, reads Excel invoices and photos attached to emails, and scans any past date range. GetMyInvoices does not document any of the three.
Line items, plain-language rules and duplicates included
Every Gennai plan includes line items with tax per line, rules written in plain language and three levels of duplicate detection. In GetMyInvoices, line items are a paid add-on, rules are fixed filters and duplicate detection lives in a paid fraud add-on.
Account codes for Xero and QuickBooks
Gennai suggests the account code for each invoice in Xero and QuickBooks, learned from your chart of accounts, and assigns one of 15 expense categories for analytics. GetMyInvoices sets defaults per sync account and offers booking suggestions in its paid Workflow module.
Holded, Google Sheets, WhatsApp, Telegram and Slack
Gennai exports to Holded, keeps a Google Sheet in sync and captures invoices from WhatsApp, Telegram and Slack. GetMyInvoices offers none of these.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Gennai cheaper than GetMyInvoices?
Yes. GetMyInvoices Essential costs €19 a month plus VAT for 20 documents and 1 user; Small costs €39 for 50 documents and 3 users. Gennai Starter costs $12 a month for 75 invoices with unlimited users, Growth costs $29 for 250, and the free plan gives you 10 invoices a month with no time limit.
Can Gennai download invoices from online portals like GetMyInvoices?
Not yet. GetMyInvoices connects to more than 10,000 portals and checks them weekly. Gennai captures invoices from your inbox (including email bodies, download links, Excel files and photos), from WhatsApp, Telegram and Slack, and by upload or forwarding. Its browser extension for portals is on the roadmap.
Does Gennai work with DATEV, lexoffice or sevdesk?
No. Gennai integrates with Xero, QuickBooks Online and Holded and exports CSV or XLSX with custom columns for other platforms. If you need DATEV, lexoffice or sevdesk, GetMyInvoices is built for that market.
Does GetMyInvoices extract line items?
Yes, as a paid add-on that you enable per account. Gennai includes line items with description, quantity, unit price and tax per line on every plan, including the free one, and classifies each line by cost type.
How do rules and duplicate detection compare?
GetMyInvoices uses fixed import rules (sender, subject, file type) and detects duplicates only through its paid fraud add-on. Gennai lets you write rules in plain language (rename a vendor, tag, exclude) and detects duplicates at three levels: message, file content and invoice identity.
Can I manage several companies with Gennai?
Yes. Gennai routes each invoice to the right entity, supports several Xero organisations and QuickBooks companies per workspace, and gives external accountants a multi-client dashboard. GetMyInvoices links separate accounts and its Business plan covers up to 2 client companies.
Does GetMyInvoices have a free plan?
No. GetMyInvoices offers a 14-day trial and paid plans in euros. Gennai's free plan has no time limit and includes export to Xero, QuickBooks and Holded.
Does GetMyInvoices integrate with Holded?
No. Holded is not on the GetMyInvoices integration list. Gennai has a native Holded integration that creates purchase documents with the PDF attached and handles VAT automatically.
Is my data secure with Gennai?
Gennai connects to your mailbox with read-only OAuth (Gmail and Outlook) or an app password (IMAP) and never sees your email password. Stored credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and all data is encrypted at rest. Gennai keeps the invoice documents it extracts and the processing metadata it needs (message identifiers, subject lines and sender domains) so that no email is processed twice; it never copies or stores your mailbox. The Gmail integration passed the CASA Tier 2 assessment of the App Defense Alliance, and Gennai is listed on both the Xero App Store and the QuickBooks App Store.
