3.8our rating
PaidFrom $129/business/mo

Quick take

  • Takes the grind out of bank reconciliations in Xero and QuickBooks: it codes transactions and chases clients for receipts.
  • Rated about 4.5 out of 5 by Xero users on the Xero App Store, mostly for ease of use.
  • The business plan is US$129 a month per business. Firms get custom pricing and white-labelling.
  • Only works with Xero, QuickBooks Online and Zoho Books.

What is Booke AI?

Booke AI connects to Xero, QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books and does the daily bookkeeping grind. It sorts bank feed transactions into the right accounts, matches them to bills and receipts, reads documents with OCR, and asks clients for missing receipts or explanations through a simple portal. You set rules and thresholds, review the exceptions it isn't sure about, and every change is logged.

Pick Booke AI if you are a bookkeeper or accounting firm looking after many small clients on Xero or QuickBooks, and bank reconciliations and chasing receipts eat your week. Firms can white-label the client portal. Vic.ai is for larger finance teams processing supplier invoices at volume, and DataSnipper is for auditors. Xero's and QuickBooks' own AI features handle simple matching for free, so test whether they're enough first.

The catch: it only works with Xero, QuickBooks Online and Zoho Books. The business plan is US$129 a month per business, which is a lot for a sole trader, and AI categorisation still needs a bookkeeper's review, especially on unusual transactions.
