TidyLedger vs DocuClipper

| Where files go | Nowhere. The PDF is read by code running in your browser tab. | Uploaded to DocuClipper's cloud for processing (SOC 2 Type II, per their site). |
| Price | Free: 10 pages/day, CSV & Excel. Pro: $6 for 24 hours, $12/month or $79/year — unlimited pages. | Starter $20.30/month billed annually (60 pages/month), about $29 month-to-month. Business $111.30/month billed annually (640 pages). |

Honest take: DocuClipper is the better fit for firms processing hundreds of documents a month, scanned statements, or direct QuickBooks/Xero sync. TidyLedger is the better fit if privacy matters, your statements are the original PDFs from online banking, and you don't want a per-page quota.
Try it on one of your statements
Drop a PDF above. If the balance badge turns green, every transaction reconciles with the statement's own running balance.

FAQ
Is TidyLedger safe for bank statements?
Your statement never leaves your device: TidyLedger has no server-side conversion at all. You can confirm in your browser's Network tab, or disconnect from the internet after the page loads and convert anyway.
Is there a free DocuClipper alternative?
TidyLedger's free plan converts 10 pages a day to CSV and Excel with no account and no time limit. Pro adds unlimited pages, batch conversion and QBO/OFX.
Is it really private?
Yes. The PDF is read by JavaScript running in your browser tab; the file and its contents are never sent over the network. You can verify it in your browser's developer tools (Network tab), or disconnect from the internet after the page loads — conversion still works.
Which banks are supported?
TidyLedger doesn't rely on per-bank templates. It reads the table layout of any text-based PDF statement, so it works with most banks and credit cards in Canada, the US, the UK, Europe and Australia. See the list of tested banks.
Does it work with scanned statements?
Not yet. Scanned or photographed statements have no text layer; OCR support is coming. Download the original PDF from online banking for best results.
What about password-protected PDFs?
Supported. You'll be asked for the password, which is used only inside your browser to open the file.
How accurate is it?
When the statement has a running balance, every transaction is verified against it and you'll see a green “balances reconcile” badge. Rows that don't add up are highlighted so you can fix them before exporting.
QuickBooks rejects my CSV or puts transactions in the wrong month. Can TidyLedger help?
That's usually the date column. QuickBooks reads CSV dates in the format you pick at upload, so 01/04 can land in January or April. TidyLedger's CSV and Excel use one unambiguous date format (YYYY-MM-DD) and plain numbers without currency symbols. With Pro, the QBO (Web Connect) file carries its dates in a fixed format, so there's no date step at all.
I already converted a statement with another tool. How do I know nothing was missed?
Use the free bank statement balance checker on this site. Paste the rows with the statement's opening and closing balance, and it shows where the running balance breaks: a missing row, a duplicate or a flipped sign. Nothing is uploaded.
What's free?
10 pages per day with CSV and Excel export, no account needed. Pro adds unlimited pages, batch conversion and QBO/OFX export.
