Dokutrak vs Gennai: Pricing and Features Compared

Quick Comparison

What Is Dokutrak?

Dokutrak is a focused invoice extraction tool. You connect your Gmail or Outlook account, run a scan, and it pulls every invoice it finds into a downloadable ZIP file with a CSV summary. No subscription, no recurring cost — you pay once per scan and you are done.

Most Dokutrak users run one or two scans per year, typically before tax season or before sending documents to their accountant. The tool is built for batch extraction: scan everything, download everything, move on with your life.

What Is Gennai?

Gennai is an email invoice extraction service that connects to your Gmail account and automatically identifies and extracts invoices. It syncs extracted invoices to Google Drive and can push them to Xero for accounting. Gennai runs continuously, picking up new invoices as they arrive.

It is positioned as an always-on automation tool rather than a batch extractor. Plans range from $12/month for basic extraction to $79/month for advanced features, making it a monthly operational expense rather than a one-time purchase.

Pricing Comparison

The pricing models are fundamentally different. Dokutrak is a one-time payment per scan. Gennai is a recurring monthly subscription that runs whether you use it or not.

Feature Comparison

Who Should Choose Dokutrak?

• You extract invoices quarterly or annually in batches, not continuously
• You want the cheapest option — $39.99 once vs $144+/year
• You manage multiple companies and need invoices separated by entity
• You use Outlook — Gennai only supports Gmail
• You want a clean ZIP + CSV to hand directly to your accountant

Who Should Choose Gennai?

• You need Google Drive sync and want invoices automatically organized in Drive folders
• You use Xero and want invoices pushed directly to your accounting software
• You want continuous monitoring — new invoices picked up automatically as they arrive
• You prefer a monthly workflow where invoices are always up to date, not batched

Our Honest Take

Gennai and Dokutrak solve the same core problem — getting invoices out of your email — but they approach it differently. Gennai is an always-on service that continuously monitors your inbox and syncs to Google Drive or Xero. If you need that real-time pipeline, it is worth paying for.

But most freelancers and small business owners do not need real-time invoice extraction. They need to collect their invoices once or twice a year, package them up, and send them to their accountant. For that use case, Dokutrak does the same job for a fraction of the cost: $39.99 vs $144–$948 per year.

If you are not sure which you need, ask yourself: do I need my invoices organized every day, or just a few times a year? The answer will tell you which tool is right for you.
