How to Switch from AutoEntry to Receiptflow (Without Disrupting Your Practice)
If you've been thinking about moving away from AutoEntry, the chances are you've been putting it off because the switch feels complicated. New software, client retraining, data in the wrong place. It doesn't have to be that way.
Switching from AutoEntry to Receiptflow is something most UK accounting practices can do in a few days. This guide walks you through the process step by step, so you know exactly what to expect before you start.
Why UK Practices Are Moving Away from AutoEntry
AutoEntry has been a solid tool for many firms, but the landscape has shifted. Several UK practices are finding that the cost no longer reflects the value, particularly as more focused alternatives have come to market.
Receiptflow is built specifically for UK accounting practices. It handles receipt scanning, extraction, and export to your bookkeeping software, at a price point that makes sense for firms of all sizes. According to a 2024 survey by the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers, 61% of small accounting practices said software costs were their fastest-growing overhead, which makes switching decisions harder to ignore.
The core reasons practices make the move:
- AutoEntry pricing scales by volume in ways that can catch firms out mid-year
- Receiptflow offers flat, predictable monthly pricing with no per-document fees
- Receiptflow's client submission process requires no app download or account creation from clients
- Support is UK-based and responds within one working day
