Does Statement Converter read the same banks MoneyThumb does?

It reads any CSV a bank exports and any PDF with a text layer, by reading the columns rather than a per-bank template. Banks that print a statement as an image (a scan) are the ones it cannot read; MoneyThumb's OCR add-on covers those.

Is the .qbo file the same thing MoneyThumb produces?

It is the same QuickBooks Web Connect format QuickBooks imports through Banking → Upload transactions. The transaction IDs are generated so re-importing the same file does not duplicate rows.

Why is it so much cheaper?

Because the work happens in your browser. There is no server reading statements, so there is no per-conversion cost to pass on.

Can I try it before subscribing?

Yes — one statement at a time, CSV out, free, with the whole table shown on screen. The subscription adds Excel, .qbo and OFX and any number of files together.

Statement Converter vs MoneyThumb

For text PDFs and bank CSVs, Statement Converter does the same conversion for a fifth of the price and never uploads the statement. For scanned statements you need OCR, which MoneyThumb has and we do not.

Where each fits

A bookkeeper closing the month

Drop the client's three PDF statements, check the table, download one .qbo and import it into QuickBooks. The client's statements never touch a third-party server, which is what their engagement letter promised.

A sole trader doing their own books

One statement a month, CSV out, free. No account, nothing to cancel.

Switching accounting software

Twelve months of statements merged into one Excel file, oldest first, amounts as numbers.
