The fees that are not in the sticker price
This is where comparisons usually go wrong. The subscription is the part everyone quotes; the per-transaction and per-document charges are what actually show up on the statement.
| Charge | What it costs |
|---|---|
| Receipt scanning | 5 per month on Essentials and Manage, unlimited on Pro |
| E-signatures | 0 on Essentials, 1 on Manage, 7 per month on Pro |
| Cash account APY | up to 2.02% on Essentials and Manage, up to 3.49% on Pro |
| Tenant fees | Not disclosed on the pricing page |
