Hubdoc
Hubdoc, owned by Xero, captures bills and receipts, extracts the key data and publishes it to Xero or QuickBooks Online; free with Xero plans.
Our take: For Xero customers Hubdoc is an easy yes: it is included, it takes receipts by phone or email, and it attaches the document to the transaction.
Hubdoc is Xero's bill and receipt capture tool: it extracts the key figures and creates transactions in Xero or QuickBooks Online with the document attached. It is included with Xero business plans, and on its own costs $12 a month after a 30-day free trial.
Xero announced its acquisition of Hubdoc on 31 July 2018, and the product is now branded Hubdoc from Xero. Xero retired Hubdoc's automatic supplier-portal fetching on 27 April 2022 (28 April in Australia and New Zealand).
On 2 July 2026 Xero announced Smart Document Capture, a capture tool built into Xero itself. We found no announcement ending Hubdoc, and its pricing and sign-up pages remain live.
A sensible free add-on for Xero users; check if your Xero plan now steers you to Smart Document Capture.
