Nanonets or Invoices to Spreadsheets: which one for a folder of invoices?
Both read invoices well. The difference is whether you want a platform or a tool. Nanonets is a document-automation platform: you assemble a workflow from blocks, connect it to your other systems, and it runs as part of a larger process, billed against credits those blocks consume. Invoices to Spreadsheets is the narrow end of that: drop a folder of supplier invoices in, get an editable table of every invoice and its line items organised by project, check each value against the original page, export Excel or CSV. If you have an AP process to automate, that platform is the right shape and this is not. If what you have is a folder and a deadline, the platform is a project before it is a spreadsheet.

Choose Nanonets when
- you need an API, or the data posted straight into an ERP, accounting system or database;
- invoices are one document type in a wider workflow — approvals, routing, audit trail — rather than the whole job;
- you have the appetite to build and maintain a workflow, and the volume to make that pay;
- you need document types we do not touch at all, such as contracts or forms.
Choose Invoices to Spreadsheets when
- the job is a folder of supplier invoices and you want the spreadsheet today, without building anything;
- line items matter — materials, quantities, unit prices — and you want them as their own table linked to each invoice;
- you want to check every extracted figure beside the original page and keep the corrections;
- you would rather know the monthly cost in advance than estimate how many credits a month of invoices consumes.
Is Invoices to Spreadsheets cheaper than Nanonets?
It depends entirely on volume, and the two are not billed the same way, so a headline comparison would mislead you. Nanonets meters credits against the steps your workflow runs; we charge a flat monthly amount by document count. A flat plan is easier to predict; metered usage can be cheaper at low volume and at high volume with a negotiated agreement. Price both against your own monthly invoice count on the day you decide, using their pricing page and ours, rather than trusting a figure on a competitor comparison.
Does Invoices to Spreadsheets have an API?
No. It is a workspace you use in the browser, and its output is an Excel or CSV export. If you need invoice data delivered programmatically into another system, Nanonets is built for that and we are not.
Which one extracts invoices more accurately?
We have not benchmarked the two against each other, so we are not going to claim an answer. Both read digital PDFs, scans and photos. What we can tell you is what we do with the result: every figure sits beside the original page so you can check it and correct it, and the correction is kept. Whichever tool you choose, check the figures against the originals before relying on the spreadsheet.
Can Nanonets do line items?
Yes — it is a capable extraction platform and line items are well within it. The question is not whether it can, but how much assembly stands between you and the spreadsheet. Ours produces the invoice table and the linked line-item table as the default output, because that is the only thing it does.
