Clear answers about InvoiceOps.
Learn how invoice automation works, what documents and fields are supported, how review and approval stay separate, and what to expect from plans, credits, accuracy, and support.
Getting started
What InvoiceOps is, who it is for, and how invoice processing begins.
What is InvoiceOps?
InvoiceOps is an invoice intelligence platform that turns invoice PDFs, receipts, and related financial documents into structured, reviewable, accounting-ready data. It combines document understanding, grounded AI extraction, source evidence, confidence signals, review workflows, and accounting handoff instead of stopping at raw OCR text.
Who is InvoiceOps designed for?
InvoiceOps is designed for small and mid-sized businesses, bookkeepers and accounting firms, finance operations teams, and other invoice-heavy organizations. It is especially useful when teams need to reduce repetitive data entry while keeping reviewers in control of uncertain or high-impact fields.
How does invoice automation work?
Invoices enter through upload, batch upload, or supported email intake. InvoiceOps analyzes the document structure, reconstructs tables, extracts invoice fields, cross-checks important values, and assigns confidence and source evidence. Reviewers can correct or approve results before exporting or syncing them into an accounting workflow.
How is InvoiceOps different from OCR software?
OCR primarily converts document images into text. InvoiceOps adds invoice structure, party and field extraction, line-item reconstruction, confidence, validation state, source-level evidence, human review, searchable records, and accounting-ready exports.
Documents and extraction
Supported inputs, invoice fields, tables, OCR, and structured outputs.
What documents and file types can I process?
The commercial workflow is optimized for invoices and receipts in PDF form, including text-native, image-backed, and scanned PDFs. The intake system also supports invoice attachments and ZIP-based batches. The underlying engine can classify broader documents such as contracts, reports, research papers, manuals, and tutorials, but customer-facing automation and billing are currently invoice-focused.
Can I upload images or scanned invoices?
Yes. InvoiceOps supports image-backed and scanned PDF invoices and uses OCR and image-table recovery when the document does not contain reliable embedded text. The public plans also describe PDF and image invoice upload; results can vary with blur, handwriting, and scan quality.
Which invoice fields can InvoiceOps extract?
InvoiceOps supports vendor, bill-to and sold-to details; invoice and purchase-order numbers; invoice, due, paid, and billing-period dates; currency; subtotal; tax and tax rate; total; and line items. Party details can include name, address, email, and phone when present and recoverable.
What line-item details are supported?
Line items can include description or service, region, service-period start and end dates, quantity, unit price, and amount. Available fields depend on what the invoice contains and how clearly the table can be reconstructed.
Can InvoiceOps handle complex invoice tables?
InvoiceOps uses several table strategies for bordered, borderless, sparse, dashed-rule, key-value, billing-summary, and scanned tables. It can also repair headers, infer column roles, separate nested table regions, and use OCR recovery when needed. Very unusual or low-quality tables may still require review.
Does InvoiceOps extract anything beyond invoice fields?
Yes. The engine can capture document metadata, page dimensions, orientation, encryption and form indicators, text blocks, sections, links, images, token geometry, bounding boxes, and confidence metadata. These details support traceability and review, while normal customer workflows focus on invoice data.
Review and automation
Confidence, source evidence, approvals, exports, and accounting handoff.
How do confidence and source evidence work?
Important fields can carry a confidence score, confidence basis, origin, validation state, page number, bounding box, and source block or table cell. Reviewers can use click-to-source highlighting to compare a value with the original invoice instead of accepting an unexplained AI answer.
What is the difference between review and approval?
Review asks whether the extracted invoice data is correct. Approval asks whether the verified invoice should proceed to accounting. InvoiceOps keeps those responsibilities separate so a reviewer can correct fields without automatically authorizing payment or export.
When is an invoice sent for review?
Review can be triggered by low confidence, missing evidence or required fields, validation failures, suspected duplicates, an unknown vendor, totals that do not reconcile, or organization review rules. The goal is to focus people on exceptions instead of making them recheck every field.
Can users correct extracted invoice data?
Paid review workflows allow authorized users to edit invoice fields and party details, add or delete line items, and preserve the original extraction alongside the change history. Audit records identify review actions and user changes.
Which export and accounting options are available?
InvoiceOps supports invoice CSV, line-item CSV, XLSX, JSON, and QuickBooks-oriented export and synchronization workflows. QuickBooks handoff includes vendor and account mapping, duplicate protection, review before sync, and locking after accounting finalization. Broader ERP integrations remain future expansion.
Can invoices be submitted by email?
Yes. Starter and higher plans include email ingestion. Registered customers can forward invoice attachments to the supported InvoiceOps intake address, where attachments can be validated, deduplicated, expanded from supported ZIP batches, queued, and acknowledged by email.
What approval workflows are supported?
The implemented workflow foundation supports no-approval, single-approver, and amount-threshold approval modes after review. Growth is the intended starting tier for dedicated reviewer, approver, accountant, and viewer roles. More advanced department routing, parallel or multi-stage approvals, vendor portals, and fully custom workflow controls are Business or Scale product direction and should be confirmed for a specific agreement.
What stages can an invoice move through?
An invoice can move from upload and extraction into a completed result, a technical failure, or a review queue. After review it may be ready for approval, pending approval, rejected for changes, approved, ready to export, exporting, exported, or marked with a synchronization failure. Archived and deleted states keep record handling separate from active processing.
How does review routing change by plan?
Free is designed for the account owner to review results. Starter supports a small shared workflow where the uploader or an Admin can review. Growth introduces a dedicated reviewer queue and clearer separation between review, approval, and accounting. Business and Scale are intended for more advanced department, vendor, entity, or custom routing.
Who can export an invoice to accounting?
Export is a separate permission from review and approval. The permission model assigns export or accounting synchronization to authorized Owners, Admins, and Accountants, and the invoice should be in an export-ready state. Exceptional approval or export overrides are restricted controls rather than normal workflow actions.
Plans and billing
Invoice credits, quotas, plans, credit packs, upgrades, and downgrades.
What is an invoice credit?
One invoice credit covers one invoice document of up to 5 pages. Credits are calculated per document in 5-page blocks: 1-5 pages use 1 credit, 6-10 pages use 2 credits, and 11-15 pages use 3 credits.
How much do InvoiceOps plans cost?
Free is $0 with 10 monthly credits. Starter is $19 with 60 credits. Growth is $59 with 300 credits. Business is $149 with 1,200 credits. Scale is $399 with 5,000 credits. Custom plans are available for negotiated volume, storage, onboarding, retention, security, or billing needs.
What features are included in each plan?
Free includes invoice extraction, PDF or image upload, read-only review, search, CSV export, 7-day retention, and extra-credit purchases. Starter adds editable results, custom fields, email ingestion, JSON and QuickBooks export, vendor normalization, basic collaboration, notifications, audit history, and long-term retention. Growth adds the intended review-and-approval role separation and improves unit economics. Business and Scale are intended for larger teams and more advanced routing or enterprise controls. Higher tiers include the lower-tier capabilities.
What happens when I use all of my monthly credits?
InvoiceOps uses included monthly credits first and purchased credits second. If both balances are exhausted, processing stops until you buy another credit pack, upgrade, or wait for the next billing-cycle reset. InvoiceOps does not silently continue into an unbounded usage bill.
Do unused monthly credits carry forward?
No. Included subscription credits reset each billing cycle and unused monthly quota does not carry forward.
Do purchased credits expire?
No. Purchased credits do not expire, remain available after plan changes or downgrades, and are used only after monthly included credits. Credit-pack purchases are non-refundable after purchase.
How are extra credit packs priced?
Credit packs are priced by plan and package size. Current options range from a Free Flex pack of 10 credits for $5 through a Scale Large pack of 5,000 credits for $425. Larger packs receive modest per-credit discounts, but a higher subscription tier is usually more economical for consistently higher monthly volume.
What are the published extra-credit rates?
The published per-credit rates are $0.50 on Free, $0.35 on Starter, $0.22 on Growth, $0.14 on Business, and $0.10 on Scale. Actual credit-pack unit prices can be lower for larger packs.
When should I upgrade?
Upgrade when your projected current-plan cost, including recurring extra usage, is higher than the cost of the next suitable plan. InvoiceOps can recommend a higher tier when the larger included credit bundle would reduce your expected cost.
What happens if I downgrade?
Purchased credits remain available after a downgrade. Previously processed invoices remain accessible according to the retention policy of the active plan, while unused monthly quota does not carry forward.
Can InvoiceOps automatically add credits?
Yes, optional auto-recharge can purchase a selected credit pack when the remaining balance reaches a customer-defined threshold. It is opt-in, shows the selected package and price, and records the purchase.
Teams and permissions
Users, roles, review responsibilities, approvals, and export access.
How many users are included in each plan?
The permission specification defines Free for 1 user, Starter for up to 3 included users, Growth for up to 10, Business for up to 25, and Scale for unlimited users. Custom agreements can adjust organization requirements.
Which team roles does InvoiceOps support?
The role model includes Owner, Admin, Member, Reviewer, Approver, Accountant, Viewer, AP Manager, Department Approver, Auditor, and Vendor Submitter. The roles available to an organization depend on its plan. Scale is intended to support custom role design and more advanced controls.
How are review, approval, and accounting duties separated?
Reviewers validate and correct extraction results, Approvers approve or reject invoices, and Accountants export or synchronize approved records. Owners and Admins manage broader organization workflows. This separation helps prevent a single action from silently changing data, approving spend, and exporting it at the same time.
Are permissions enforced only in the user interface?
No. InvoiceOps is designed around server-side permission checks. Authorization considers the organization plan, member role, named permission, invoice visibility, assignment, and workflow context; hiding a button in the browser is not treated as authorization.
Does InvoiceOps support departments, custom roles, SSO, or SCIM?
Department-specific routing, vendor and legal-entity rules, custom roles, field permissions, SSO, SCIM, service accounts, advanced workflow builders, and audit export are Business or Scale product direction. Availability should be confirmed for the selected plan or custom agreement rather than assumed from the public self-serve tiers.
Reliability and accuracy
Processing failures, extraction limitations, review expectations, and credits.
What happens if InvoiceOps cannot process my invoice?
If processing fails because of a technical problem such as an internal error, upload corruption, timeout, empty result, or infrastructure issue, the invoice credits are automatically returned.
Are credits returned when extraction quality is limited?
Completed processing normally consumes credits even when extraction quality is limited by an unusual layout, poor scan, blur, complex table, missing fields, language, handwriting, or vendor-specific formatting. The system still used processing and AI resources, so these jobs are reviewed and corrected rather than automatically refunded.
Does InvoiceOps guarantee perfect accuracy?
No. Invoice formats vary too much by vendor, language, industry, layout, scan quality, and table complexity for a universal accuracy guarantee. InvoiceOps focuses on reducing manual work while providing confidence, source evidence, correction tools, and review workflows. Customers should test representative invoices and review critical accounting data before finalization.
How do I report an extraction problem?
Use the invoice review interface to report the affected invoice or open Help & Support from the portal. Include the invoice and a short description of the unexpected result so the support team can investigate and use the feedback to improve future processing.
Security and support
Access controls, auditability, retention, issue reporting, and human help.
How does InvoiceOps protect invoice data?
Current controls include authenticated access, organization and role separation, server-side permissions, isolated cloud storage, encrypted transport and storage, secure export paths, and audit history. Source evidence and preserved change history also make sensitive invoice actions easier to review.
How long are invoices retained?
Free includes 7-day retention. Paid plans include long-term retention, and Custom can address special retention requirements. Exact operational retention and deletion terms should follow the active plan and customer agreement.
Is InvoiceOps SOC 2 certified or equipped with enterprise compliance controls?
SOC 2, SSO, SCIM, data-residency controls, customer-managed keys, and broader compliance tooling should not be assumed from the public plans. They are enterprise roadmap or custom-agreement topics and should be confirmed directly with InvoiceOps.
Can I talk to a human?
Yes. The website assistant can route a verified conversation to a human agent, and signed-in customers can use Help & Support to report invoice issues and follow support cases.
Have a question about your invoices or workflow?
Ask the grounded website assistant or send the team a sample use case for a plan and workflow recommendation.
